About the Class
Vik has been connecting online with real and virtual friends since 1997. His first major foray into online connections was through a Bollywood Forum [powered by ezBoard]. He joined a gang of over 50 Bollywood enthusiasts from across the world [New York, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, France, India, Egypt, United Kingdom]. The journey of this gang of friends saw everything [hackers, jealousy, gangs, migration, mobile calls, email exchange, birthdays, flirtation, anger] till it ended last year. It was almost like a joint family splitting as members grew themselves in Facebook and other such platforms. He used this experience to write a chapter on Online Communities in his masters dissertation. He would recount this massively interesting journey and also the lessons learnt from it in this session.
