So we went to ItsAP and Head Start’s event!
With calyen having overslept, anicode and I rushed to the stall by 8 30 in the morning. By that time, the entire place was buzzing with activity and everyone was busy pasting up banners and setting tables.
The event started promptly at 9 30 am and people were diligently visiting the 100 stalls and trying to understand what each firm did. There were representatives from the biggest MNCs to the newest startups.
It was quite an interesting place to be in just because of the number of people present at the event. Everyone was actively engaged in meeting and talking to new people at HICC. I was at the stall and forever explaining why we are called 84 ideas (the founders were born in 1984! We were also hit by George Orwell’s book, 1984 around the same time we were thinking of a name. And the folks from the Microsoft stall came up with their own interesting explanation to the number 84 – 42 times 2 ! Yes ! Its the famous phrase in HitchHackers Guide to Galaxy – “Answer to the Ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything – The number 42. So now you know 
)
It was wonderful to have such an overwhelming response from everyone who was trying to understand how we were different from other social media companies. We nearly missed lunch since we were too caught up interacting with more and more people who were genuinely interested in the work we do and the work we have done.
Thank you ItsAP for giving us stall space and thanks to everyone who visited us there and patiently listened to our ideas! We absolutely loved being there
