Ahmedabad Mirror, Here we come!

Entered Fadia Chambers for the first time today. For the uninitiated, that's the building that Ahmedabad Mirror calls it's office. I accompanied Aastha Kankariya, Zubeen Agarwal and Keval Hutheesing of the great Team Eureka who were there so AM reporter Dhwani Pathak could interview one of the speakers of TEDxSabarmati, Ravi Kumar, also known as Lingo Boy, a peacock fan selling wonder in Mumbai who can market his fans in around 12 foreign languages. This 17 year old boy who does not have a formal education can speak in French, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Russian among other languages to convince tourists to buy his fans. This multi-linguist not only sells fans made by his grandmother in Mumbai but has fans around the globe. Its time for this Bhavnagar boy to get recognition in Aapnu Amdavad and we hope that Ahmedabad Mirror will be just the tool to get him the appreciation for his keen business acumen and quick learning skills. By the way, if this is the first time you are hearing of Lingo boy, you can check out his Youtube videos on this blog (read earlier posts).
Speaking of firsts, another place I walked into for the first time was Metropole Hotel where Team Eureka had gone to make sure that our distinguished speakers would be given some good food and drink just like the delicious Iced Tea they had at the cafe at Natrani today. Accomodation is accounted for, food and drink is being taken care of, looks like the TEDxSabarmati speakers are in for a time as delightful as their talks.
