1. Could attend only half (ummm…..3/4th part) of 3rd day of this summit.
2. Train from Howrah to KGP(first time on this route). Local train experience after gap of 16/15 years(not counting the 2 day trip within Mumbai during 2005).
3. Reach KGP 11:30AM. IITKGP dude arranged for a cab to venue of elevator pitch event.
4. Waited for good time. Nudged organizing dudes to finish my 10 minutes slot ASAP as I had to go for intern recruitment event.
5. 20 minutes or so of Networking lunch. Met a dude very interested in undergoing internship.
6. Was taken to intern recruitment venue by another dude.
7. Met many eager dudes looking for internship. Energy at the venue was very vibrant.
8. Summit closing speech (I don’t remember names of guest speakers).
9. Two tookway’s from the speakers:

  • (Paraphrase speaker#1)Have fun during the entrepreneurial journey. (My observation)Its very lonely journey and, until responsibilities get distributed having fun is the way out to stay sane.
  • (Paraphrase speaker#2)Educate users of your product. (My observation) This very much required for my products(Gabel and, Acshar).

    • 10. E-cell dudes arranged for my overnight stay at Vishveshwariya guest house.
    11. Raja Shekar of Apna Complex was also staying over night at the same guest house.
    12. Raja Shekar and I dined at an eatery outside guest house.
    13. Next day(i.e., today) Guest house dudes arranged for cab to railway station. Raja Shekar and I traveled to Kolkata on passenger train. Journey reminded of previous train journeys ages back. Faces changed but thought network remains same. Same thinking pattern of adjusting butts to fit 5 people on bench meant for 3. Like earlier, eunuch’s seemed to have special attraction towards me. Then there was flock of free mind PNPCers…ah! woh lamhe woh palchin barson yaad rahenge…..
    14. Raja Shekhar had a customer meeting at Kolkata. Shared cab.
    15. Shyamalji, my colleague was waiting for me at the office. Went to sleep after good lunch.
