Hackinthus At The #originalcopy In Association With Indiblogger,HP and Harper collins !!

Yet another awesome meet by indiblogger in association with HP,I have to say it was quite better than the last meet #NokiaAppTasting for a simple reason that we had ample amount of time for interaction with fellow bloggers than the last one which was a Nokia meet rather than a bloggers meet though it was not as fancy as Nokia's meet.

As the name suggests #originalcopy,the main agenda of this meet was to encourage people to buy original Hp printer cartridges rather than getting it refilled.It was quite well explained by a member of HP saying when you pay for an original you get quality and guarantee,that's quite true whether be it shoes or merchandise.

The meet started 2:30 what the hell,we kept on waiting for an hour or so and Anoop took no hesitation on putting the blame on us saying your fellow bloggers were late and so we started late,God help that guy :P.

But no soon it started it was Fun for me atleast the first thing which Anoop says "Any Guy with a Turban" and I win a HP 8GB pen drive.There are benefits of being a sardar sometimes :P.

After this we were told to switch tables and not to sit with people we were sitting with and move  to a black table if we were on white and vice-versa,this was actually a good idea to meet the people you never met we were then asked to say hi to the bloggers sitting next to you and then began a long session of introduction and the best intro would get a HP printer and yeah not to forget you had mimic your favorite character and even this time I was not called :(.

Then we had too many fun events like mime,photoshoot,debate and a unique competition where you were given a White sheet with a QR code,you had to scan it look,for the code written and you had to carry it on your back to find people who had other codes which completes your sentence.

                                                        White sheet with the QR code

I even made some friends with whom I participated in the Photo shoot comp and din't win anything.The photo had a very deep meaning for one to understand.I hope you all know the three monkeys of Gandhi,the fourth monkey depicts "STOP RAPE".

Then we had a little snacks some fun and returned home.I have a lot to talk about but let's keep it short and wind up.

Overall the event was a great success and had a very important message which was said in one of the Tweets pointed by Anoop."Plagiarism to us is Forfeit to them".

So never go for a refill of cartridges because it may ruin your Printer and may coz you more money which you were trying to save.Always buy Original HP Cartridges .

Hackinthus at the #NokiaAppTasting meet by Indiblogger !!

BY-Harkirat Singh (Twitter)(Google+)

                              Blogging is not about writing posts and getting views but it's all about passion and expressing yourself.There are many bloggers in the world,you may even know few of them in the virtual world but meeting them in person gives a totally new perception about them and their personality.
                           Thank's to indiblogger and Nokia for arranging such a marvelous blogger meet at ITC GARDENIA,Bangalore,but as far as i am concerned i was not quite happy about it because it was more of a Nokia meet rather than bloggers meet but surely no one will invest without having benefit to itself,So Nokia it was fine but i have to tell you the arrangements made by them were great and you would feel like you have been invited to some board meeting rather than a blogger meet.

                             The main agenda of his meet was to showcase and get new ideas for the apps and ofcourse some awesome food.The Host for the show were Rajiv Makhni,NDTV tech guru host and Vikas Khanna,Hottest Masterchef. Their stage presence was awesome and they set the stage on fire with their wit and humour especially,Rajiv Sir.
                   Weird right ?? Tech guru with a Chef as a host,even i was confused but after a brief introduction i got it.It was the #NokiaAppTasting where good food meets good Apps,and i am both a tech freak and a food junkie,you can see me right(:P).I (Harkirat Singh) even got a chance of meeting the Tech Guru personally and asked him for some tips that might help hackinthus to grow.
                                        

                                                           

                                                          I even got a chance to meet Vikas Sir but i couldn't ask him for any recipes(:P).Not to forget i even a made a friend Ramanan Sir and he proudly says i am 63,ha ha,He was full of life and came here to see young bloggers,how do they think and interact , i hope he was not let down.

                                                             First we started with introduction of some of the blogger and unluckily i was not called on stage :( ,but there's always a next time and the blogger to give the best intro was given a gift hamper,there were other events like onion cutting competition, the App developing idea,I know the ideas that were told but i would not reveal them here,there was a quiz round too.

                     So ,you think these competitions were without gifts,surely not there were giveaway like Nokia Lumia 510 and 900 and did not win either of them,but there were some lucky winners.There are many other aspects and so many things i cant tell and  as it a tech Blog i would rather get down to my job.

                             

The main apps that were showcased in the meet were -:

1) Alcohol Test

                                           The main aim of this app is to test how much are you drunk You have to fill in some of the details as shown in the screenshot and you have to then blow into your phone and it will let you know the alcohol content in your body,pretty amazing right Rajiv even invited some Drunk bloggers on the stage to test how much wine had they costed to Nokia  :P

               
2) Gangnam style dance guide    
                       
                               I hope you all know Gangnam has a Guinness world record of most liked video,and their's an app which can guide and teach you how to dance and learn these steps.

                           Let me tell you this was the most amazing part of the meet where people were dancing like crazy and judges were no exceptions to it,even they had to Gangnam.This event continued for a long time and it was being enjoyed by all.

3)Nokia city lens

     This is a super amazing app which tells you what's outside your wall or places that are nearby.It works with the camera to help you discover the city around you and what it has to offer. All you need to do is launch the app and hold your device up and voila you can see all that surrounds you we saw this app live in action.

4)Silent film director 
           
                This was an another super amazing app where you can make movies in Charlie Chaplin style without any knowledge of editing.In the demonstration of this app Vikas khanna and two other bloggers were made to walk the ramp and then Rajiv showed us the power of this app and became a director.

                                           Credit-NDTV

                            There were personal experiences too where i met some of the bloggers and got certain tips i can surely name them Anand,Akshay,Nikhil,and many others and ya not to forget i was even in the top 10 twitters for the event(:P)

                          I think this event was a great success for both Nokia and indiblogger,wish them luck for their further event and i am eagerly waiting for the next event !! :D
