After reaching to “Sheesha Restaurant” Event’s location.. I met with a guy, who is so generous and helpful.. I was not knowing him, not even met him once in my life, the way he greeted me.. it was awesome feeling.. as if he was knowing me from many years.. And the person is none other than my Mentor, my best guide.. “TRISHUL bhaiya”.. He is an awesome person…
then during event i get to know about open source and how mozilla is helping the world by protecting the web…
Also get to know about various verticals of Mozilla..
I participated in App-dev and won prize for my App – “Rock Paper Scissors”… though it was rejected but this idea is converted in the form of app by one of my friend , Hitesh Aswani… thanx buddy:-) for completing this..
