&lt;br /&gt;
It was Friday and the last day at Cisco to be nominated to attend &lt;a href=&quot;http://gracehopper.anitaborg.org/conference-overview/&quot;&gt;Grace Hopper Conference&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(GHC). In the last couple of hours that day, things magically fell in place and I got a spot at GHC. I was as overwhelmed as excited. One of my colleagues believes in &quot;meant to be&quot; and she says if something is meant to be yours, it will effortlessly come to you and I never believed that. To believe in anything, I always need a indisputable logic. &amp;nbsp;However, GHC and couple of other things in the recent past have happened to me like magic which are making me ponder about the &quot;meant to be&quot; theory. Maybe I believe in magic! Maybe not! Maybe I know the reason behind how it all worked out! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three or four years back, It is through one of Sheryl Sandberg&#39;s posts, I learnt about Anita Borg, &lt;a href=&quot;http://anitaborg.org/&quot;&gt;Anita Borg Institute&lt;/a&gt; (ABI) and GHC. I draw great inspiration from the stories and experiences shared on ABI. It is this year with great excitement, I would be attending the Grace Hopper Conference and I have no doubt about the great experiences I would be recording for my life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am hoping to meet great people, hear to great sessions and experiences, draw inspiration, learn new topics, spread the excitement and have fun at #GHC15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#GHC15, See you very soon!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
