And Here comes the final day of IGR. As expected, we turned up too early to witness what we had experienced in the previous 2 days.The Stall was still filled with lots of excitement and Happiness about the final day. We already started to think about the post-IGR Plans and also rejoicing the moments of those 3 amazing days.

As this was the last day of IGR, there was a huge tsunami of people who turned up. We were all ready to showcase Firefox OS to all the attendees. Like the 1st and 2nd day, we kept a lot of chocolates, swags, and had our Foxy roaming around the venue to attract more people.People really Loved it. I personally enjoyed a lot of cute and amazing moments when a few kids come and say hello to the foxy while a few kids gets scared and try to hide behind their Mom’s. Kids these days know everything about the Smartphones more then what Their Dad Knows.I Had a few adorable moments when kids start to pour in and ask if Firefox OS got their favorite 2048 Game and apps like Facebook,Twitter etc and I proudly answer them with a “Yes”. That Yes Moment,I Still Remember.

The Day went on with tons and tons of people and also a lot of Indian celebrities.It Reflected the Sunday Fever at the Gadget Rush.In addition to the Gadget rush I found the Food So delicious during this time.Either the Cook might be a great one or may be the Hunger and Late Evening Lunches made me to like the food.
Finally, we packed everything up and wrapped up the event after some Foxy dance and Entertainment.It is like Indians Never end anything without the Actual Celebrations.
P.S. It was the first stall set up by Mozilla Hyderabad and this helped us realize our true capability in organizing these type of events. Our stall saw a prodigious number of attendees of about 30,000 people.
I Know it might seem a bit of Disturbance to see many P.S in this blog cz I didnt get how to end Narrating each day of Awesomeness.
Thanks a lot to the whole team who helped in all the ways and made it amazing :)

Firefox OS stall @ IGR | Day 2

Hi friends,

Update on the 2nd day of Firefox OS stall at IGR set up by Mozilla Hyderabad. We, the Mozillians, reached the venue at 9:00 A.M. i.e. even before the venue opened as we were super excited to witness the same thing that happened on day 1. i.e. get the maximum number of attendees!

The venue opened at 11:00 A.M. and the people started pouring in immediately. We got our stall ready as quickly as in 5 minutes. Keeping all the points that was discussed on Day 1 about the improvements required, we started explaining about Firefox OS. This time, it was much  more efficient as more and more people started asking us to sell our phones immediately.
We all were too much involved into this that we forgot about our lunch.
Finally it was Foxy time…!! People were very excited. Almost each and every individual got attracted by Foxy. And Foxy took some selfie’s too..

Then something amazing happened..!! “Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh” “Mr.Sri K.E.Krishna Murthy” visited our stall. He saw smart phones for less price just 2,000 bucks, the first only word he spoke was “Woow..!!” he was quite surprised after seeing the phone. He gave us best wishes to continue our passion and also to the Mozilla Hyderabad Community to achieve the Mozilla’s Mission. At last he said time for a selfie..!

Everyone who visited our stall were shocked as they never thought that a smart phone could be purchased for a price below Rs.2,000! They all had a hands-on with the phone and asked a lot of exciting questions and also gave valuable feedbacks.

We gave a lot of swags to the people who showed a lot of interest at the stall to make them more amazed which in turn made them happier. Many people were ready to pay and take home the Firefox OS Phones.
Finally the first day ended at 9:30 P.M.
