			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.darkwaterdigital.com/"><img class="alignleft" title="Darkwater Digital" src="http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/logo.png" alt="logo Official Launch of Darkwater Digital"  /></a>The wait is finally over! <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' title="Official Launch of Darkwater Digital" />  I&#8217;ve been so eager and excited to put the word out but the launch date was stopping me from doing so&#8230;</p>
<p>But now, I&#8217;m even more excited and I feel like I&#8217;m on top of the world. Its because, today we have officially launched <strong><a href="http://www.darkwaterdigital.com/" target="_blank">Darkwater Digital</a> &#8211; Redefining PR 2.0 </strong>a digital communications firm.</p>
<p><strong>What is Darkwater Digital?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.darkwaterdigital.com/services/" target="_blank">Darkwater Digital</a></strong> is a digital communications firm that specializes in strategic online campaigns aimed at leveraging the internet and Web 2.0 to achieve a high recall quotient of your brand.

<p><strong>LISTEN</strong> to what your customers and competitors are saying.</p>
<p><strong>BUILD </strong>your image and presence online through active social engagements.</p>
<p><strong>MANAGE</strong> your online reputation with the best passive-aggressive outlook.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>How did it all start?</strong></p>
<p>It was all <a href="http://mirrorcracked.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Nikhil</a>&#8216;s idea of starting this firm. One night he called me and said, &#8220;Dude, can you come down to my office tomorrow? I wanna talk to you about the firm&#8221;. Earlier that night he had mailed me saying that he&#8217;d like to start a firm and wanted me to partner with him. Without any hesitations I said &#8220;Yes!&#8221;</p>
<p>I headed to Nikhil&#8217;s office the next day and he explained to me everything. I WAS HELL EXCITED!!!! <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Official Launch of Darkwater Digital" />  <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Official Launch of Darkwater Digital" />  We registered the domain on April 4th, 2009 and started with our work. Thanks to Nikhil, he got Darkwater a pretty good number of clients and we did have a blast. Work pressure was increasing as clients were flowing in.  But, we somehow managed it. The best part is, Darkwater had its first international client and we were damn happy about that.</p>
<p>After so much of progress in no time, we had planned to launch Darkwater Digital on June 1st 2009. But, due to some unavoidable conditions we had to drop it or rather reschedule it for today. (Again, Nikhil sent me a surprise SMS saying that, &#8220;Dude, Darkwater Digital is officially launched today!&#8221;)</p>
<p>Phew! That was so much. Never have I been so happy and excited and have written such a big post <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' title="Official Launch of Darkwater Digital" /> </p>

<div id="attachment_8" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 484px"><img class="size-full wp-image-8" title="faces" src="http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/faces.jpg" alt="hectic and exciting" width="474" height="314" /><p class="wp-caption-text">hectic and exciting</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On one hand, days are being so hectic, frustrating and bugging and on the other  hand they are just exciting, enthusiastic, joyous and amazing!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hectic, Frustrating and Bugging coz of my college, where I’m supposed to  submit records, assignments and  all those shit you know and upon that it is my  previous webhost! I had no luck at all to get any sort of back-up of the contents  of my blogs which included <a href="http://www.technobitez.com/">TechnoBitez</a> as well :( That was the most  heart-breaking moment I ever had <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' title="Lifes Hectic But Its More Exciting!!!" />  I had to set up everything again from  the beginning which was pathetic…Well, from now on I need to be very careful  about my back-ups and I think I don’t have to worry about any server crashes coz  I am now shifted to <a href="http://www.surpasshosting.com/">Surpass Hosting</a> FOREVER! <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Lifes Hectic But Its More Exciting!!!" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now you must be wondering, with all these things happening why the hell did I  mention that my days are Exciting, Enthusiastic, Joyous and Amazing?! Hehehe don’t worry,  I haven’t gone mad coz of the shit happening around <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Lifes Hectic But Its More Exciting!!!" />  The reason is something  else and I’m very damn excited about this. Hmm I’m actually not supposed to  disclose this thing yet but one possible clue I could give you is that it’s a  business firm which is all set to explode to the world <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="Lifes Hectic But Its More Exciting!!!" />  And it’s doing great  till date and no wonder that makes me feel so excited about it <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Lifes Hectic But Its More Exciting!!!" />  All I can say  is that the word will sooner or later be out. So keep sticking around… <img src='http://www.joelifernandes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="Lifes Hectic But Its More Exciting!!!" /> </p>
