7 | | -Recently I was travelling to [Chennai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai) |

| 7 | +Lately I was travelling to [Chennai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai) |
| 8 | +for some personal work. I was very clear on meeting [Mr. Shakthi |
| 9 | +Kannan](http://shakthimaan.com/). While travelling to Chennai I dropped a mail |
10 | 10 | inquiring about his availability. He replied with an invitation to attend the |
11 | | -meetup of [Indian Linux Users Group |
12 | | -Chennai](https://www.meetup.com/ILUG-C/events/234086665/) scheduled at |

16 | | -The meetup was happening at the Aero Space Engineering department, IIT Madras |
17 | | -campus. I found the campus is quite huge in area. The cab driver dropped me at |
18 | | -the gate. It took 15 minutes bus journy to reach the department. Because I was late, I missed the initial talk on Emacs Org mode by Shakthi. I was lucky enough to |
19 | | -attend lightning talk section. When I entered into classroom one young boy was |
20 | | -demonstrating [BeFF](http://tools.kali.org/exploitation-tools/beef-xss). BeFF |
21 | | -is penetration testing tool. I was not aware about this tool before his talk. |
22 | | -After his words I am confident for switching to documentation and implimenting. |
23 | | -His talk ended with little discussion on doubts people were having. Nearly one |
24 | | -hour was still remaining. Shakthi came forward and invited interested people to |
25 | | -present if they want to. That ringed a bell on mine. I was even not sure about |
26 | | -attending meetup and presenting something instantly was looking little touch at |
27 | | -first glance. One guy moved forward and presented on Linux stacks(confirm this |
28 | | -topic with Shakthi). I quickly skimmed on list of topics I was aware about and |
29 | | -I decided to speak on [JSON Web |
30 | | -Token](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token). Initially I started with |
31 | | -little description about myself. I demonstrated ways to generate token. Discussed |
32 | | -about architecture. Gave few guidlines and points to remember. I ended my talk |
33 | | -with comparing [Oauth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) with JWT. Few interested |
34 | | -people asked question and I was lucky enough to solve their confusions. We |
35 | | -discussed about Angular JS and its versions. Little more discussion on Jquery, |
36 | | -React JS compared with Angular JS. |

| 23 | +documentation and start going through it. His talk ended with little discussion |
| 24 | +on doubts. Nearly one hour was still remaining Shakthi came forward and invited |
| 25 | +interested people to confront. That sure rang a bell! I was not sure about |
| 26 | +attending Meetup and presenting something instantly was looking tough. One guy |
| 27 | +moved forward and demonstrated on Linux stacks (confirm this topic with |

| 29 | +to speak on [JSON Web Token](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token). I |
| 30 | +initiated with little description about myself. Then demonstrated ways to |
| 31 | +generate a secure token. Discussed about architecture a bit and gave few |
| 32 | +guidelines, points to remember. I ended my talk with comparing [Oauth |
| 33 | +2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) with JWT. Few interested people asked questions and I |
| 34 | +was lucky enough to solve their confusions. |

40 | | -domain. If Chennai is your town, I will encourage you to join this group and |
41 | | -get involved. |
