Hi I am Gaurav. I am software engineer and I work with NIIT Technologies. I was born in Fazilka and brought up in Ferozepur. I moved out of the town when I was 17 and have been a nomad since. I have lived and moved around multiple cities(Jalandhar, New Delhi, Sydney , New york, Philadelhia) in multiple countries in multiple continents. However most of these years I have spent in Delhi. I have got used to the life style of Delhi and have actually started loving this city. However it was a nightmare to start with in fact I still like the small town ferozepur is than a crowded place like Delhi. Then why didn't I come back to live there because I don't have much oppurtunities in the field of work I chose to do in this town. We all have(those who have chose to leave and live/settle elsewhere) our reasons ranging from not getting enough oppurtunities to preference for fast paced independent living of big city.
We (Ferozepur) have had our share of disadvantages ranging from being a border town and not getting investments due to security risk from others which we share with rest of the country like being at the mercy of the corrupt administration. Things need to change and change comes quicker if more people put their efforts so I just thought I'll contribute my 2 cents for the same cause.
I am trying to put together Ferozepur.org which will be a starting point for my effort. Here is what I am trying to achieve thru it:
* Provide a forum to distribute information about ferozepur.
* Provide a platform to raise some issues which are important for us.Well I don't live in ferozepur so the issues I raise by myself might not be the ones which really matter or might not be actually issues to the people of ferozepur. so let me know wherever I am wrong and also provide the details of the issues you want to raise.
* Raise some money by advertisement revenue and donations which I can give to charities working in the area.
*Raise the awareness of the people about the electronic age and the opportunities unleashed by the same.
Cheers
Gaurav
