Hive Kharagpur, Striking Experience !!!

 Hie Everyone !!

This is Rishu Goenka, a mozillian from Bhubaneswar, volunteered at biggest Hive Event held at Prem Hari Bhavan (Beside Punjab National Bank), Malancha, Kharagpur-721304, West Bengal, India on 20th - 21st December, 2014. It was almost the year end and nothing can go best for me other than being a part of Hive Kharagpur!! A great opportunity for me to teach, learn, share with Mozillians, Reps and Attendees.
The event scheduled for two days. First day we had grooming and preparation Session. It started with the registration of all mozillians continued by introduce yourself which helped us to know each other in better way. Then the event agenda and objective were discussed keeping in mind that the attendees are kids. Each one of us got equal chance to shared our views and suggestion. Roles were finalised for everyone. Then we had a delicious lunch break after that we started decorating our venue setting up booths with specific theme.

Then the kids stared coming. Being on the registration desk I am luckiest one got first chance to interact with them. They were really awesome and inspiring students, they keen interested to learn and explore things simply amazed me. I am really happy for getting chance to listen them. There craze ideas and thoughts were really mind blowing. The eager and spark seen in their eyes to take a roller-costar ride of hive Kharagpur can’t be portrayed in words. I will just say it’s one of the best experience I ever had. I was simply carried away with the environment.

I wanna thank Umesh Agarwal- Mozilla Reps  organiser of the event for inviting me to be a part of it and Shahid Farooqui Ji– Mozilla Reps Mentor for giving me the platform to have a new experience.
