It was a dream come true for me but since then, it has become very difficult for me to announce this formally (you people know how I am) due to which day by day because of complains from my friends and family no one is enjoying the good news in the way it should be. Hence, I would request all of you to treat this as a formal apology from me and dump any sense of dissatisfaction that you might have and focus on the wedding ceremony, which is scheduled to be on 3rd of December, 2009 at FE Block Community Hall, Salt Lake, Kolkata. Click here if you plan to attend the event.

Engagement took place at Barsana Club, Kolkata on 28th June, 2009 and was a quick ceremony where me and Shikha had exchanged rings. I would like to thank all my friends who had helped me organize the full ceremony within a day’s time.

Anurag Ahuja, who helped me do the shoping for all the gift items, without him Burrabazar would have been a maze. Navneet Sureka, who really helped me with all the jewellery purchases – without him I could have bought glass peices for the cost of diamond. Yogesh Goel, for canceling his birthday party at Chrome and capturing all the moments of the ceremony. Khushboo Nangalia, for helping me pick up the right ladies stuff for Shikha. And, my dear bro, Chetan Bharadwaj, who has also prepared a Photo Album Disk for everyone of you, you can email him at chetan [at] thefourdy [dot] com and request for your copy. Until then, you can click here to view the preview of few selected photos.

I would once again thank all of you for supporting me through out and I hope that the same support would last ever since.

Regards,
Rahul B.

PS: To all the heart broken boys and girls, pray to God that re-birth is not just fiction.

Rahul @ Work

He started his experience at an early age of 16 when he teamed up with Yogesh Goel, Karan Gupta, Rohit Agarwal and Dhiraj Jain to form a group called Web Rangers. During the period of 2001 – 2003, Web Rangers had designed and hosted over 30 websites. In 2004 he partnered with Shamasis Bhattacharya to form the first legal entity called 21innovation (21i). 21i had a great beginning where it designed websites for Penguin Books, Tilottama 2005 (Anand Bazaar Patrika), Xcuse Me (Bhowanipur Gujarati Education Society) and AapTak.

Next milestone was in 2005, when he met Manuraj Agarwal. Manuraj had just started a IT firm called Xgenmedia. Rahul freelanced many small & big projects for Xgenmedia which includes imedcare.com, nutradvice.com, myprintguy.com, kenyagreencoffee.com, eprintcafe.com. Until now, Rahul had developed most of the websites in ASP and some monir fixes on PHP websites. But with his project, eprintcafe.com, he created an online print portal (in PHP) in 4 days, which also happened to be his first PHP website. ePrintcafe opened up the floodgates for other PHP projects and Rahul went on to build other websites like outorg.com, rockandraaga.com, valueking.com, supremesharetradingcompany.com, kyakare.com.

ePrintcafe also was a milestone in itself because that is how he met Cherag Gandhi, who was the owner of eprintcafe.com. Because of the fact that Rahul and Cherag thought on the same lines led to the development of the next major project, eregnow.com. During the initial development phase, Rahul & Shamasis worked for the project under the banner of 21i. The website was launched with minimal features in December 2006.

Once Rahul had graduated in June 2007, he started his full time career as a Consultant for Xgenmedia and eRegNow.com Private Limited.
