Infofest Day 1

Being here last year, it was but natural for us to make sure we made it this time too. We cannot miss infofest!! Its a tech event very well organised and sponsored!

We reached late at 1.00pm on the 1st day ...... not because we were willing to but unfortunately had our 7th semester vivas that day. Reaching late has to be bad somehow and we lost 5 valuable points for not being there in the introduction session! We knew that we were at a disadvantage but did not lose any hope.


We had our lunch which was really very good and .... there was our 1st event!! One team for Deep C and another for Tux - o - nomy. Very nice C questions was asked for deep C and Deadly linux questions for Tux - o -nomy( y deadly you'l will soon come to know).These were the preliminary rounds . We cleared in Deep C but had bad luck in Tux - o -nomy(there's always a next time i guess :) he he).


After that we participated in 3 marketeers and web weavers.Our team rocked for the 3 Marketeers and were sure to qualify.But what about Web weavers?? The team was not quite sure coz they had answered tux - o- nomy better then web weavers.But when the results were declared we were surprised we qualified for web weavers and ofcourse for 3 marketeers too!

Then was the 1st round for Deep C.Our team got prepared for it and were raring to go!A C program related to continents needed to be executed.Our team was successfull in that and qualified for the final round which was code review.

Then came one of the most awaited moments of the day .... the seminar of none other than Mr. Pankaj Jalote. He is the author of various books like Software Project Management in practice .. etc .We saw him for the first time in reality.His seminar was just too good and the entire crowd appreciated it.

Everyone was very tired after a whole day of exciting events and fun.But the organisers had more to provide us.They gave us refreshments .... tea and samosa.Well have to say this to the organisers "Hats off to u!".

Oh wait!! i forgot one main event!! Grey cells.Puzzles were put every hour on the notice board and participants had to solve them and put their answers into the grey cell box provided at the reception. A person having the correct answer would get 5 points which would be counted for one of the finest individual events "The Aristocrat".

Well this was day 1 .... coming soon with day 2 so don't go away!! Its hell lot of fun.
