[...] The announcement said Philip Tellis will speak on Creative Commons, while in the background, Pradeepto downloaded the flickr movie, and transferred it to premshree's Mac. I engaged the crowd for a few minutes on the kind of music they like, and what they do with that music. Spoke about Anu Malik, what they thought about his music.

Actually NITC guyz expected for a hands on workshop..but due to it feel boring to audience I made it into a demo based talk with a practical session. No hands on. So many students at NITC asked me some doubts and I became cheerful in answering and clearing their doubts.
