Cloud Computing Workshop at Vellore Institute of Technology

Drove down to Vellore from Bangalore and was rewarded with the lovely sunrise on the highway.

Reached Vellore Institute of Technology and was impressed by the guest house for that matter the whole campus was green and beautiful. The photo below is the courtyard in the guest house of the Vellore Institute of Technology.,

The Seminar started at 10 a.m. in the Kamaraj Auditorium and everything worked like a breeze, there were more the 80 participants which included professors,research scholars and students from various colleges.

Their interest in cloud computing was encouraging and no one left the room during the sessions, all mobiles were switched off and it was a pleasure to share my knowledge with this wonderful crowd.

Sharing the definition cloud computing with the audience.

The audience listened with rapt attention and there were many excellent queries raised by the participants.

We closed the session at 3 p.m. with a tea break. I rested for a while in the lovely guest house.
After a while I had a guided tour of the lovely green environmental friendly campus.
They even have a lake in the campus which is created by recycling water used in the 300 acre campus.

The garden in front of the University Library was beautiful, here is a picture.

It was time to board the train for Bangalore and say good bye to this lovely campus at Vellore, look forward to visiting VIT sometime in the future.
