Mr. K was standing in the jam-packed auditorium along with Mr. Y, looking in all directions.
Mr. Y was even almost behaving as Mr. K. In addition he was checking the ceilings too.
Mr. K checked weather they had arrived at the right place. (Yes they were at the right place) Mr. K and Mr. Y were puzzled seeing the charged up atmosphere. There were people from all ages, professions and ethnicities. He was puzzled as to what to do next. His witty senses advised him to go and find the man in charge of all of this. So both of them went around searching for Sreeraman Thiagarajan. The person appointed as manager for GBG Mumbai chapter. This is where their journey of GDayX began.
Seeing their lost and puzzled faces Sreeraman extended his hand forward and said,
“Hello, how may I help you?
Mr. K introduced himself as an aspiring entrepreneur. Sreeraman turned towards Mr. Y with a look of knowing about him Mr. Y shot his first question
”Sreeraman tell me why is this GDayX held?”
Sreeraman replied courteously,
“In a country like India, there are millions of people who are using Internet as well as millions of people who are discovering its potential. Internet has become a phenomenon, which can’t be ignored. Google all throughout this while came with technologies due to which it almost became synonymous with Internet. These technologies can help both engineers and businessmen in their respective endeavors. People need to be educated about these technologies. So keeping that in mind GDayX has been organized in Mumbai”.
Satisfied by this answer Y got ready to ask another question when he was interrupted by U
“Come on man! Lets give our host also some moments to speak. You are curious 24*7!”
Releasing what K said was true, Y kept quiet.
In the mean while a three-man entourage was formed. Mr. U got chatty with Sreeraman. He asked,
“ How did you fellas know about this event?”
Both of them replied
“Internet”
Seeing their mini choir Mr. Manager smiled
Now it was K’z turn. He started
”Sree is it okay if I call you Mr. M?”
“Oh is it like the all controlling M of Bond series?”. All the three of them shared a moment of unity.
(From here on Sreeraman will be encoded as M.)
“M, back when I was visiting a small remote town” continued K. “I came across a 9 year old boy who was very passionately asking questions about Google and Facebook. The level of information this boy had was marvelous. Upon inquiring further, I knew that most of his friends were as passionate as that boy. That whole evening I spent talking to these boys. This particular incident made me realize that in the future if businesses had to survive in the real world it was imperative to have a virtual presence.”
Y as curious as ever shot his next question
” So K do you mean that it is necessary to have virtual presence to inform or to conduct business?”
To this M replied
“Starting a business online, requires support from many different sources. You need a web developer, designer, SEO specialist, internet marketing, etc. Once you establish your business online you can expand your presence, because Internet help you to bring the whole world at your feet. The chances of gaining traction high are very high in this case….”
Before M would finish U interrupted him
“This is wonderful. It won’t matter where my business is located for I can foresee a future in which the world will completely rely on Internet. I can cutoff the middlemen. Supply directly to my customers. God this is so exciting!”
“Yes, the day of virtual reality is not very far my friend. While organizing GDayX this is what the whole team was dreaming of.”
Replied M.
Y again started packing his curious cats
“But M, don’t you think when we say the world will soon be dependent on virtual reality, not only businesses but even online communities, supports groups, free schools, etc. and all the elements of the physical world will be incorporated into Internet?“
“Yes. It is very true” replied M.
“So I am kind of worried how will the whole system work?
Is it ready for it? If it is not ready, what is the immediate thing that we can do to bring virtual reality one step closer?’
As Y had finished this question three of then were standing near the door of the auditorium.
Guesing what is on M’s mind, K said,
“Oh I so get it now! Y my friend we are the right place! I am sure you will find all your answers inside that door.”
M gave both of them a wise smile and opened the door. All of them entered the auditorium
“Of all th things you have asked I can tell you one thing. Even if that 9 year old kid form that small sleepy town enters this room, he will leave either as an aspiring entrepreneur or an inquisitive developer! This is what GDayX aims to do”
