Infofest Day 3

Day 3. The last and final day of Infofest 2007. Fortunes (literally :-)) could be won or lost. Who will keep their cool and be there at the finish line unscathed? We sure wanna!

Luckily we could come in leisurely today. No events till 10am. We were greeted with some very welcome breakfast. One thing has to be said, the organisers are leaving no stone untouched in the hospitality department. (They even promise food as an incentive for attending the seminars. Maybe if they had to enforce a point system, there would have been more audience.)

First up was the debate (tete-a-tete). We cleared the prelim round yesterday and were through to the next. There was worthy competition especially from Chowgule College. It went smoothly and I'm happy to say that Rahul and myself won the 1st prize in the debate. We had also placed a joker on the event... so, JACKPOT!


There's an interesting thing I noticed about the organisers of Infofest. Every time you see one of them, they are wearing something different. I mean, first it was a skirt... 10 mins later the same girl was in a salwar, and 20 mins later in a saree! Amazing... How do you guys manage that???

Tech Twister is going on and we're hoping for a win. Oh wait a sec... here they come... AND THEY HAVE COME ..... third :-( But, we are proud of them and as a team we will rise like the Phoenix and be there to meet the overall trophy.

Time to sign out... I gotta go for The Architect. But before that, I want my lunch! Better rush otherwise there may not be any left (just kidding, there's enough for all).

In case I don't get a chance to post again before the event ends, I just want to say that Infofest has been a very interesting event. The organization has been good, but maybe you guys could try to get more participation next year.

We're hoping to win, and if we do, everyone's invited for the post party (hopefully sponsored by the organizers :-) )
