Acclivity, at times, seem to lead me astray...
Somewhere very far, too far even to figure out...
Life's still not got an exact meaning...
Life's a dream....

KURUKSHETRA '07
The inter-college inter-disciplinary mega technical symposium of College Of Engineering Guindy, KURUKSHETRA, the first of its kind, in the history of CEG, came to bare sunlight, on the 4th of January, to kick off the new-year (2007) in a style.
This 4-day symposium was filled with lots of inter-disciplinary techno-management events, robotics, papers, projects, lots of technical demos, programming contests, games taking place at various venues within CEG campus. The campus seemed like an ‘opportunities fair’ with people meandering in and around to get into some venue, and have their presence felt. The place was buzzing with value-adding exuberance.
All laurels and accolades to my colleagues. Hats off to them. The magnitude of this event was twice that of TECHOFES. It was a painstakingly planned mighty event. To add burden to the shoulders, this was the first time such a big (costliest-ever in the history of CEG) event came forth. All great minds of CEG congregated and came up with innovative ideas, ingenious plans that nurtured this KURUKSHETRA. The tag-line goes like this “The Battle of the Brains” and this stood justified at the dusk of the fourth day.
The main plus point we had in managing this mega event was that, we had split our work into groups and worked towards its final shape. It was split like, one group would be working on Hospitality (guiding and helping the guests and participants right from the start till the end), one other group on events planning (preparing a well-planned schedule. Ensuring no events clash and ensuring their smooth running etc), the other one on marketing (getting hold of sponsors, informing colleges those that are within the proximity and those that are remote) and so on and so forth. This helped us a lot.
Regarding the events,
All events kicked off in style and ended fantastically. Events like FUN WITH PHYSICS (conducted by my friend Rakesh) pulled crowd in excess. All others events also were no less, attracted a decent crowd. There were some informal events like Crosswords, Su Do Ku (that were simultaneously taking place) which added ebullience to this lively technical funda.
It would not be fair, if do not mention about the event for which I was one of the CO-ORDINATORS of. This event, called the DALAL BULL event, was a stock-market event (Rules: Rs. 10,00,000 (don't get astonished, it's virtual money!)would initially be given to all participants. By judiciously utilizing these money, he/she has to have a motive of profit-making, by buying and selling shares of various companies (along with their share values), that were displayed on large screens at the venue. The winner is obvious. The one who has achieved the maximum of all). This, being a ‘no specific-dept.’ management event drew in maximum crowd. The venue was bubbling with buzz. This event proved to be the largest of the events at K ’07 (as we call Kurukshetra ’07 for short). This 3 day event kicked off, with a chaos, unlike other events, as we had to overcome a healthy crowd. To add fuel to fire, some of the systems, that contained significant data, went down. Bystanders within the campus were found criticizing on this event. After a somber start, this event gradually accelerated. The crowd’s magnitude started bloating. We, learning from the mistakes, adroitly managed the crowd with ease. At the end of K ’07, our event got hell lots of accolades. Thanks to the initial errors that we committed.
This K ’07, the battle of the brains, on the whole, was a well-executed “program”me. The fastidious colleagues of my college, for their sweat, deserved lots of credit and earned them too and are geared up for an even LARGER magnitude K ’08 and an even bigger DALAL BULL event.
K ’08 – a mightier battle.

The making of TECHOFES '07.
The annual Cultural Festival of College of Engineering Guindy, TECHOFES which sets the stage ablaze during MID-FEBRAUARY, did the same this year (2007) too, between Feb 15-18.
This 4 day extravaganza featured variety of entertainment. Blockbuster film (as they call it), Fashion Show (Don expect much from it. It was damn dry.!!), Light Music (rocked!), Variety Show (Fine one..), Choreo-nite (enticing..) to name a few. There were lots of miniature events too, that were taking place on all 4 days at various venues in our campus, loaded with heaps of fun in them. On all four days, campus was bubbling with exuberance.
Coming to the making of this magnanimous event,
This event needed a well planned scheduling and careful execution, as its magnitude was quite massive. The greatness that lies within us (my college dudes) is the unity with which they sweat out to make the occasion a success. They give their everything, to ensure that, this turns out into a proper shape. Everything was well planned. Very Well executed.
But the days they sweated were really tough. Bunking classes to get hold of sponsors, inviting chief guests (since, this being a cultural, actors, actresses would be the best fit) to grace the occasion, arrangements for stage, acoustic settings, Keeping venues equipped with necessary requisites, informing the press, arranging for stalls, Using rhetoric in arguing with film distributors (Film must also be latest. Old films find scarce crowd – another feat to be achieved) to avoid fleecing exorbitant sum, informing caterers for snacks, invitations for all the staff (It must also be ensured that invitation reaches each and every staff or it’ll turn out to be problematic.), hospitality for all the participants and guests and many more…
The event was very well executed.
Coming to the entertainment part of Techofes ’07,
Day 1: Some, not very well known personality, declared TECHOFES ‘07 open on the dusk of the 15th. It was followed by a movie, that featured a 3 hr entertainment. (The density of the crowd contributed more to the entertainment than the film’s theme!!!)
Day 2: VASUNDHRA DAS concert rocked the stages on the 16th. Venue was bubbling with ebullience. John Britto’s dance company (professional choreographers) entertained us, in between her songs.
Day 3: This day’s morning featured with a lots of trivial fun. Evening – Fashion show to kick off the dusk buzz. Guys were in full attendance (as though, they’d been craving for this for long). Disappointment!! Upset!! Dismal performance by the girls on the cat-walk. (My college, CEG, was the worst. Others were equally bad too). Variety show followed this, pulled back the squalid and torpid crowd, back to an aura filled with fun. It was a fine performance. Lots of colleges in and around Chennai had come ‘all the way’ to our campus and enacted a good variety show.
Day 4: Choreo-nite set the evening stage, of the final day, ablaze. A pyrotechnic experience. Profusely gifted dancers from various colleges did their part exceedingly well.
The event, tout ensemble, was a great success. United effort of my pals, patient and dedicated execution of an ingeniously planned programme, finally, bore FRUIT.

Redressed & Renamed..
It was probably, some kind of VICIOUS CIRCLE, he (Verdant Barrens), was undergoing. So, i thought, it would be wise, if i redress and baptize him, with a new name.
He was proving obsolete, outdated, was proving futile. He has changed now, as you could see. He desperately needed this.
ACCLIVITY LEADING TO INFINITY - LIMITS TRANSCENDED.
Welcome! Here comes.... this sapling afresh, with a motive to experiment and explore life beyond INFINITY.....
