Hailing from the land of beautiful beaches - Goa, Harish Usgaonker is a Software Engineer working in an IT organization in Goa. The kid who was punished in the 6th standard for being the most talkative student in class, turned into a quiet and shy boy as he progressed into college. The initial college days of higher secondary studies began with high expectations and a lot of bullying by friends.
PFB the expenses and collections details for the first national conference of TISA, held at IHS, Bhubnaeswar from 28th December 2011 to 1st January 2012. If you find any error, please mail us at info"at"stammer.in :
Jai Prakash Sunda, fondly known as JP to all of us in TISA, is an IT professional of 26 years, from Chandigarh. He was born in a hard working farming community in a village in Haryana, North India. His childhood was spent in many Indian cities since his father worked for Indian Air force and was transferred frequently. As a teenager he was given speech therapy in Chandigarh, which did little to help him. He somehow went through university, earned a B Tech in IT and was quite surprised (and relieved) when Infosys, a global IT giant, selected him!
Update: Keith calling... My very dear TISA friends, Many journeys are planned in advance. Some journeys do not start, because there are no people willing or able to take that very necessary first step.(read more)
In response to participants expectations, we have planned an outing to Dhauligiri, Lingraj Temple, Khandgiri (caves dating back to 2500 BC) on 31st Dec. We will have to just get up and leave by 6.30 am! Same evening we will have a talent show..
This is a run up to NC- collecting "expectations" from ALL the participants and well wishers, who are not able to participate this time. What do we expect from these three days, besides fun and frolic, and lot of discussions? What do we expect subsequently? Once we have a SENSE of expectations, we will be able to utilize our resources (esp. time) accordingly, so that all participants can get an "optimum" experince out of this first collective effort at national level. AND we can set in motion certain changes which unfold slowly in the next year.
Here is Harish, our inhouse editor. We will keep adding more at the bottom, as we keep getting these notes from participants.
