Talk with an Indian Biker community owner

Bikes are attracting males from decades, it’s the one of the most popular gadget man love to have, there are no less bike crazy guys in India and bhupesh is the one among them but did something different than others. He is crazy about bikes and saw the place empty for an Indian bikers on orkut, he grab the thing and made a community Indian bikers, the community is having more than 18000 bike’s enthusiasts.

Bhupesh got invited to talk with us on Orkut’s Hall of Fame and luckily he accepted. all thanks to him.

Zazo: Bhupesh is a software professional but bikes is the other thing which fascinated him for long since he was active in xbhp.com and then decided to make a community of his own to unite all Indian bikers under one umbrella, we will know more about his community "Indian Bikers" and his life and carrier.
Welcome Bhupesh to Orkut's Hall of Fame...
How Indian Bikers doing?

Bhupesh: Indian Bikers' is doing good. Starting off in 2005, we are now a 18,500+ member community. Lots of active members and discussions have made 'Indian Bikers' what it is today. And the good part is that all these discussions are relevant, bike-centric talks rather than your lets-start-this-game type discussions. Kudos! to the true Indian bikers.

Zazo: How it all started? tell me something about your background..lil bit more than i know.

Bhupesh: Well, there is lot of existing forums for bikers in India - xbhp, bike nomads and other innumerable mailing groups - that I have been a part of.

So, when I joined orkut, I felt that one should have something similar here too since all the forums that I have talked about are yet to make their mark among the common people. They are popular but still have a very selective target audience. Orkut is a great place to network with similarly minded people and I think 'Indian Bikers' is serving its purpose.

Zazo: Do your community members arrange meet ups or race tournaments as well? Where are most of your members are from?

Bhupesh: Unfortunately or, maybe, fortunately (looking at the recent turn of events related to irresponsible bikers) Indian bikers do not hold offline meets or races (btw, races are usually a banned event).

The activities revolve around helping each other in buying new bikes, getting rid of bike-related issues or giving suggestions regarding modifications and enhancements on bikes. You can have a look at recent activities at http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=1168456

Zazo: Any new plan to develop the community? is there is any other online activities you are involved related to Indian Biker's community?

Bhupesh: We did have a poll recently that was sponsored by Fastrack Watches, with 4 lucky guys winning a brand new Fastrack Neon wrist watch each. Then, people have started using the forum for buying/selling bikes & gears and advertising touring services. But all these things are carried out by the members among themselves. Moderators are not usually involved.

Otherwise, no other activity has been planned yet.

We could have ventured into trips and rides but I guess that those are better left to 'India on Bikes', one of the related community.

Zazo: Which bike do you own bhupesh? Would you like to share any adventures experience?

Bhupesh: Hmmm...... I have a Suzuki Fiero and was actively into trips and get togethers but I guess I'm more of an armchair biker now :) Work has started taking a toll on biking.

Zazo: Are you still active in xbhp.com? any other social networking site you are active in?

Bhupesh: Not really an active member of xbhp now. Just some passive reading from my side.

Apart from orkut, sites likes facebook, myspace and linkedin are great to network with people. With such focused sites, I'm sure if orkut can really compete. It has started to appear as a jack of all trades and master of none.

Zazo: In your profile you wrote some points, which says "things to do before I die" are you serious about it? it shows that you are adventurous , any comments?

Bhupesh: Yeah! I am pretty serious about them. I know that some of them sound too ambitious but then what's life without impossibilities :) I'm sure that everyone is adventurous inside, and it's just that the social pressures and duties takes over them and makes a person subtle and calm. Isn't it so?

Zazo: Right! Bhupesh tell us what other communities you own or active on orkut other than Indian Bikers Community?

Bhupesh: Apart from 'Indian Bikers', some of the other communities that I frequently visit are 'Indian Amateur Writers', 'Great Indian Rock', 'Rock Lovers India' and 'Warren kicks ass'. They keep on changing according to the mood and taste :D
And, no. I do not own any other community.

Zazo: Your dream bike or dream car?

Bhupesh: It has to be the Yamaha YZF-R1 or the Harley-Davidson VRSCD Night Rod.
I know that the two are at the opposite ends of a spectrum but they are the best when it comes to the respective classes.

Talking about cars, Cooper S (Turbocharged, 1.6 liter) can do the talking on my behalf :)

Zazo: Bhupesh thanks for talking and giving your precious time to Orkut's Hall of Fame, its a pleasure to have a person like you in this community.
Thanks a lot!

Bhupesh: The pleasure is mine

Demonoid from hackerz underground

Zazo: Demonoid is a hardcore computer programming freak, on orkut he is a Moderator of some related communities like hackers underground etc. I got the chance to take his interview to know more about what’s going on inside orkut and how he learned hacking, and his personal back ground.

Welcome Demonoid to Orkut’s Hall of Fame!

Demonoid: About me m simply last year guy. Hope that i will pass out this year before came to orkut i m simply student of computer who have regular knowledge of computers . But some times i 've read da books related to security but i dun know how its possible practically. But after joining the orkut on i think its march or April of 2007. At that time m simply using orkut for getting new friends as always 90 doing now and after two months i was promoted as a moderator of ma favorite community UNDERGROUND WORLD. That i started to divert my gazing to words practical techniques .Once i was surfing orkut @ that time i found one script posted by some one who saying that its a medal script .But after installing it . Nothing happen but after one day i have seen that in ma sent message that my cookie was being sent to another fake account after that i got the way that how to perform and how to do this thing . It gives me a way to learning it practically. Time started to pass and all that day I giving my 100 to this field. After of that ma cookie transferred i was hacked by abhi u known him as orkut don. How silly i wasAnd that i have self learned many ways which are using to hack ids.Like all methods of cookie stealing,pshing/you can say fake pages , Trojans,xss,malicious active-x scripting, fake mailin,mail bombing. these r all main methods for hacking ids..After some methods i decided to go to web hacking and defacing. And wid that way i learnt many things like SQL injections,web xss,remote browsing,shell hacking,script injections,etc methods. I am still learning new things but just for my knowledge purpose not for damaging any one and my stretegy is no one is perfact so keep learning

Zazo: How was your experience being a mod of "hackerz underground" etc.? Tell us a bit about your work there and what are the members of your communities looking for?

Demonoid: Generally my work always there for answering newbie for make them to 1create and solve problems related to this field but from last 7 days due to exams i cant be online regularly and answer to second question is that generally members are looking in this type community that they want to learn how to hack others id but in my way of thinking that’s this is bad thing to hack others privacy. I like to tell them all with medium of this community that HACKING SHOULD LEARN WID ASPECT OF KNOWLEDGE NOT TO HARM OTHERS. And one more thing is that they are always looking for hacking software but i like to tell them that you cant hack anything with soft wares generally its for just to find out vulnerability but most of things are manual there

Zazo: Since when you are learning the ways of hacking and computer security related subjects? is there any other online activities you are involved in other than orkut?

Demonoid: Huumm.. I am learning it from last 2 or 3 years. And yup o also related to some activities other than orkut my 1st activity which gave me a vision to think on this way is online site known as HTS. Than good forum like critical security, root box ,astalavista, milworm and may more sites also very informatic.And I am suggesting that security skilled learner have to see it

Zazo: If not online what is your schedule? any book you recommend for the students of programming and networking?

Demonoid: yup when m not online i like to move around ma town and normally programming. for as always e.balaguru,trmbly n sorrensons are good authors to start ur self as a newbie programmer. and generally m using online guide and search papers. and always make my self in practice

Zazo: What is your likes, dislikes or any hobbies? don’t you get the problem of over stress sitting on comp for long hours? :)

Demonoid: generally I hate pplz having too much attitude and like them who show them selves as they are.. my main hobby u know but other than that I like to roam around in forest and
beaches... I like to go on Long tours on bikes.
yup some times m having problem due to continuous work on system but every thin ll b fine in just few hour not having any major problem till today

Zazo: At last, about hackers and hacking what you like to say? any of your own theory?

Demonoid: am also beliveing in the theory of three hats. no separate but one thing is that no damage should take place in just LOLing matters.

Zazo: Thank you Demonoid for giving your time to this fantastic interview, pleasure to have you on Orkut's Hall of Fame.
Thanks a lot!

Demonoid: you welcome buddy
