Thanks Bala. Dear All
I am feeling good to be a part of Wikipedia community. Although I am an avid reader of Wikipedia pages, I have never contributed to Wikipedia in any way except using it to learn and know more on diverse stuff. So, as a Wikipedia contributor, it is going to be my first assignment (hopefully, not last :)) with Wikipedia. Please feel free to discuss anything related to this project, update WikiProject page (I am novice in that so mistakes may happen) and provide us your valuable feedback. I am sure, this project will be materialized and completed within time with your immense support and feedback. I am attending the Wikipedia 10th anniversary celebrations tomorrow. Please feel free to come and talk to me in person. *About Me:* I am a software developer and currently working with Citrix R&D India Pvt Ltd. This is my first job in IT industry. Prior to this, I did my Btech(CSE) from AMU (Aligarh Muslim University), Aligarh and then Mtech(CSE) from IIT Bombay. I have been born and brought up in Aligarh, UP. I love to do reading, swimming and day-dreaming. Sometimes, I also do blogging <http://decodeindia.blogspot.com/>. Around 6 months ago, I found an interesting scenario in wikipedia page of FIFA world cup 2010 and i wrote a blog about it as well :). Please have a look: http://decodeindia.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html I am sure, I will enjoy this journey with Wikipedia.
