Late night brainstorming
It is 3.40 am and we just turned the lights off. As for every incredible day, this morning seems a lifetime away. I am trying to use this blog entry to recollect my thoughts, which feel all colorful and chaotic (a perfectly Bangladeshi mind space). Retelling the day in a few lines would turn into […]
A tale of two organizational stories
There is something quite inspiring about meeting someone who has at one point walked in your shoes. It is remarkable not for the fact that you have done the same thing but rather that you have faced the same challenges.

Missing 328, Satsung and “the international van will be leaving in 3 minutes”…
I am supposed to be filling everyone in on my thoughts of RecrearMAGNIFY although I don’t know if a few words in the blog-o-sphere can sum up all of the emotions and knowledge gained in the experience of a lifetime. Now that I have been thrusted back into “normal” life the last couple days it […]

Stepping out…
Tonight the Recrear team tried to MAGNIFY our skills by crashing the gen YOTT “Summer Ain’t over” networking event downtown Ottawa. This was something that not many of us had ever experienced before.
