According to the Wikipedia, "The Mission Accomplished" speech was a televised address by United States President George W. Bush on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003.

My journey so far has been very satisfying. I have had some low times in between but I kept it going. To do this for such a long time consistently, you have to have a real motivation. All credit goes to one man, Neil Bowers, whose contributions inspired me to take this challenge. Every time my PR gets accepted a…

Belated Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Indian friends.

Last month, August 2018, was really busy for me, personally and professionally. My 9 years old daughter had summer break from school. So lots of action all the time together with the nearly 2 years old twins. Best part of August was attending The Perl Conference in Glasgow with the entire family. My first Perl Conference ever and it didn't disappoint me. We, as a family, got to explore the city of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Already looking forwar…

I still remember the blog A year of CPAN uploads by Barbie published on 22nd March 2015. In his blog, he mentioned my name and my intention to break his record. At that point in time, I was at 150 odd days old. I was no where near the Barbie's record number. However I had made up my mind, no matter what I will go past his magic number.

the event. To make it even more fun, I brought my young family with me to explore the city as well.

I arrived at the Glasgow Central railway station about 7pm on Tuesday 14th Aug. I was staying at Rennin McKenzie Hotel, just 2 minutes walk fr…

Before I say anything, I must say, I am who I am today because of the wonderful Perl Community. I have been attending London Perl Workshop since 2012. Ever since I have seen plenty of improvements as far as the quality of talks, venue management and other activities.

However there is one thing I still see missing all these years unfortunately. I am saying these based on my personal experience. I still remember my first time at LPW, I got to see all the greats physically other than all the great talks. When I came back from the event, I tried to analyse what I liked most and what I mis…
