			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first blog camp in Kerala called as <strong>BCK</strong> (<a href="http://www.blogcampkerala.com/">Blog Camp Kerala</a>) was held on August 16th at Alleppey in a houseboat. I was one of the <a href="http://www.blogcampkerala.com/attendees/">100 people</a> who attended the function and it was a great success. The event was sponsored by Kerala Tourism. It was a great get together of all the bloggers from Kerala and few other from outside Kerala.</p>

<p>Session by Mani- How to earn a living from Blog</p>
<p>The Blog camp started little at 10.30 AM and first thing we had was a intro session which was followed by  other sessions. <a href="http://www.manikarthik.com/kerala-blogcamp-id-love-to-be-there-next-time/">Mani Karthik</a> from <a href="http://www.dailyseoblog.com">Daily SEO Blog</a> has a very interesting and useful session for all bloggers where he discussed how to earn a living from blogging.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pradipsomasundaran.com/musicblog.htm">Pradeep Somasundaram</a>, a playback singer delivered a session on audio blogging, describing the softwares needed for it. He even revealed secrets of playback singers. <img src='http://www.nirmal.tv/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.kenneyjacob.com/">Kenney Jacob</a>, the organizer, had a session on Campus blogging and the initiatives taken for it.</p>
<p>I should say the most impressive session was from <a href="http://keralafarmer.wordpress.com/">Kerala Farmer</a>. He is a 60 year old farmer who finds time to blog and bring to public the corruption in Govt. I was truly amazed by his knowledge of Internet and his passion for blogging. He blogs in 3 languages and has many blogs in Wordpress and Blogspot platform.</p>
<p>Apart from this <a href="http://www.keralahahaha.blogspot.com/">Sajeev Balakrishan</a> was busy drawing the cartoon of all bloggers who attended the function.</p>
<p>The BCK was altogether a great experience especially for the fact that it was the first unconference on a house boat. The lunch was typically Kerala style, check out the photo.</p>

<p>Altogether it was a great experience and waiting for more camps like this to happen. Thanks a ton to all the organizers and <a href="http://www.blogcampkerala.com/sponsors/">sponsors</a> (<a href="http://www.keralatourism.org/">Kerala Tourism</a>) for arranging such a wonderful camp.</p>
