Here are a few notes on the 'recently' concluded STC conference in Pune. I got some free time towards the end of the year to compile this - hence the delay. New year resolution continues to be - Better Late than Never :)

Good evening, and welcome to Crystal Ball. Our guest today is Mercutio Hermes, who shares with us his view on Technical Communication in India. Welcome Mercutio.

Thank you. I notice you said "view", not "views". May I ask why?

Our show is about looking into the crystal ball. We share what we see there, and what we see is only a view.

So, you'll ask me questions, and I'll look into the crystal ball and respond with what I see?

Yes.

Great!
