"The only source of knowledge is experience" I believe that one should fill the life with experiences, not things. One should have stories to tell and not only things to show.

" Every experience in life is being orchestrated to teach you something you need to move forward"           - Brian Tracy       I love to have different experiences in life, observe new things and learn from it. I would like to share one of my most recent learning experience.

 I travelled to Mumbai for a few days to attend & participate in various workshops and technical events at the Techfest IITB (Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay). On the final day of the Techfest, I had some spare time and hence I productively used this opportunity by attending the December '22 #mumtechup - DevOps at the DirectiPlex in Mumbai.   This was special event for me as it was the first tech event which I attended in Mumbai. It was an amazing experience to meet , connect and network with the tech community in the 'Financial Capital of India' - Mumbai.  It was a great learning opportunity and experience for me as I got to know various (insights) of the DevOps field and the tech industry, from the experienced professionals. The technology meet-up focused on the core concepts of DevOps and there were thought-provoking discussions on the working, functionalities, (intricacies), flaws and updates of various technological tools , concepts and platforms.  Prathames
