Jai WordPress Mandali!
On #WP14 Party we were discussing what things Wapuu can represent Nagpurkars, Following Fun part came out of it. He got Nagpur’s bad habit of Baba120.
This blog post in not a feature film to start with statutory Warning! Tobacco Chewing is bad for health. Not adding Mukesh’s Video, but seriously Nagpur is not about Paan and Kharra(Tobacco).
Thanks to following entries that showed so many Good things that Nagpur is known for. Apart from Oranges and Tigers.
Here are the Wapuu designs we received in the Design contest. Do let us know which one you like by visiting the Facebook links or in Comments of this blog post.
Our First Entry came from Kaushik Baroliya, Ahmedabad. His wapuu is inspired by one of the most progressive rulers in the history of our country: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Greatest warrior – the hero of Maratha folklore, so he think that none other than him will be best suited for WordCamp Nagpur Wapu

Third Entry came from Mukul Chaturvedi, Nagpur. He called it Postman Chapuu!
Recently Nagpur’s General Post Office Building completed 100 years. This Victorian style Post Office building is a marvellous example of British architecture. The Building is declared as National Heritage by Indian Government. Wapuu for Lovely Postman Chachu! who spends their time out of this building delivering our letters.

Tell us which one should be the Mascot for WCNagpur 2017?
4th entry is better, as mansoon and zero mile.
Wapuu designed by Kaushik Barolia should be the Mascot for WCNagpur 2017. As WordPress community is extremely diligent in their efforts to keep WordPress secure just like Maratha folklore, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj did by fighting against the odd ones.
Premanshu Manghirmalani
2nd one is awesome.
After reading the descriptions and idea, I understood everyone’s story behind it, hence, sharing my vote in options.
In order.
I liked
1. Mukul Chaturvedi’s Monsoon Wapu
2. Mukul Chaturvedi’s Postman Chaapu
Postman. Because he represents all the people that this camp stands for and not just a city or a state.
My vote goes to Aastha Vijay, Pune. Her Wapuu is enjoying the Zero Milestone.
I think second Wappu looks awesome and very interesting! ☺👍
