It was 8:30 in the morning of 7th day of December when I, as usual, woke up and went down to the mess for my breakfast. After picking up my plate and taking bread-butter-tea, I reached the table where my class mates were sitting. It was a normal day for all! Then came up Utkarsh’s question, “We have a workshop on hacking, are you interested to join me?” I could not believe what he just said, and so I asked him to repeat what he said … “Are you interested to attend a hacking workshop with me?” “Of course I am! I am all ready for it, just tell me the time and the place.” … “Be ready by 11am, we will leave by the 11:15 bus” … “sure! 
“.
While going back to my room, I just pondered over the thing I have always wanted. I wanted a group, a group with whom I could learn new things (related to hacking and security, of course). A group with whom I could sit all day and night sitting in front of the laptop and doing “geeky” stuff, with whom I could share all my hacks and “cracks”. Well, seems here is a start for me.
(hey ClubHack people, dont read this part):
On the way to the destination, I was told that we are going in for free, thanks to one volunteer, Amit Tripathi, my senior. I attended around 4 lectures that day (where each cost Rs. 1000!), whereas Utkarsh seemed to be bored of just one. Believe me, it was great to attend the workshop, it was ultimate to be around those superb people of whom I had only dreamt! The same day, I met Mr. Rohit Srivastwa. Asked him how to join ClubHack. I was surprised to hear the reply, “… there is no “membership” here. Its just like a friend circle, without any boundary. If you want to join a security and hacking community, theres Null, a Network Security group …”. He introduced me to Mr. Aseem Jakhar, the founder of Null. I decided to attend the Null meet the next day, after listening to him.
The workshop spanned 2 days, first day was for theoretical knowledge, the 2nd for practical things. After reaching home the first night, I called up my dad to get Rs. 1000 for the next day (of course you cant expect them to allow me free entry 2 days!!) Getting dad’s green signal (thanks a lot ) I went into the workshop the next day full excited (well, I did skip my breakfast that day). Got my registration done, got a T Shirt, and went into the first practical seminar. This was followed by the Null meet. There were quite a few people, around 10.
After that workshop, I attended a lot many workshops by different groups, OpenSocial Developer Garage, Null Event (i was a volunteer) …. etc, etc, etc.
In short, these two days have been the best of my life. I got to know a lot many people here, Vipul Kalia, Tushar Dalvi, Tara, Aseem, Murtuja, Rohit, Ajit, Priyank, Vishal…. many, many … and got to know about many groups of Pune too, PLUG, POCC, etc, etc, etc. This “friend group” without a boundary seems to be a superb one. Everyone seems to be getting along with each other pretty well! (Except for Vishal, he robbed me of my Google Cap!!! I will kill you, Vishal)
Thanks a lot Utkarsh …
