INFOCOMM:the 5 days:Day 5

DAY5
====
I woke up at 9 and vikc was ready to go.
Anish at breakfast asked us whether we are going to Kalighat and
fortunately he took silence as 'YES'(though both of didn't want to go :-))
We caught a bus to kalighat from ext center and abt 12 we reached there .
Some my face is a beggar attraction and pundas there quickly identified that
i am a non-bengali....fortunately vikc was there with me and he knew bangla...
So i used him to thwart all the pundas away from my sight...It become quite irritating
when u feel that u r being viewed as the most vulnerable person out there.
Anyways we got darshan in about twenty minutes and i must say that kalighat is the worst
managed temple i have seen in my whole life.
Lately this bribery and money thing has come in to prominence where the duration of ur darshan
depends on how much money u pay to pujari.....I think this thing is ruining the hindu religion and
i think its high time that government shud centralise the trusts of all mandirs in india.
Anyways after aour lunch-cum-lassii...we headed back to infocom and did some more
masti.....lots of ppl were more interested in admissions and aspirants were viewing us
as if we were demigods......it was embarassing to say atleast.
We wound up everything at 7pm and headed back to KGP in a sumo singing songs
and cherising memoirs.In the way ,we had our dinner at sher-e-punjab.

By 10:20pm we were back at KGP, the place where we belong.
It was really one of the nicest experiences in my whole life.......
The memoirs will remain with me till i die...

INFOCOMM:the 5 days:Day 4

Day4
====
Today also we spent most of our time talking to (?) and participating in quizzes spanning over 5hrs,
We got good crowds each n everyday at our stall and we had to even say no to
student consultancy....ppl seem genuinly interested and we colleted lots of contacts...
It was turn of reddy to win a dvd player today and ram again missed out:-(.....his damn luck..
By now quiz master also started to recognize us and used to crack jokes
about ram's bad luck.....ram by now must have collected arnd 50 prizes and was now
giving cds free to absolute strangers!!
I took pics of the all the chic stalls (who all knew me by now!!)using Dr. Mandal's
digicam .....some were amused and some just smiled for the pose..
We wrapped it all up at 8 and we were invitedfor a dinner by a fellow quizzing enthusiastic
who was very impressed by ram's prowess.Mr. Bhowmik had a nice family and a cosy
apartment ,he was a management freelance professor and had plethora of experience
he worked in TOI,DALAL STREET,XLRI etc etc.....nowadays he is working for a NGO.
He gave us some fundaes about life and carreer as whole and by the end of dinner
i was very clear that i am walking on the right path and just have an ideal approach
to live life....he was particularly emphatic about the happiness in life and the small things
in life which give u happiness.It was really nice to see a management guru to display
the summary of all his life and work experience.
After that we went to 89 cinema and caught a late night show at 10:30 pm of
'Neal n Nicky'.I will give the review of the movie in some post later.
So we came back and after watching some highlights of match ....went for the slumber.

INFOCOMM:the 5 days:Day 3

Day3
====
Day3 started with an awesome breakfast at Ext center and we left for INFOCOMM at 10.
I also now started to participate in quiz and started winning some prizes ......at 3 pm raddy and
vikc came to join the fun and i won my DVD player at 3 pm(with the help of ram!!)...
Ram was unlucky not to have won a dvd player in all the 17 quizzes he attended!!
Me and vikc then started the talk with the chics and consistently did it for two hrs...the thing with the buisness exhibitions
are that the chics don't know anything abt the product ...so ur talk invariably ends at a point
where u can ask her name,place of living,which firm she belongs to and then if u want u can make the next move...
At 5 dhali also joined the party and me vikc and dhali went off at 5 to victoria memorial,
park street .....had a lotta fun outta there ...the trams,the swaying james bond movie kinda auto rickshaws and friendly
kolkatans are all now the memories to cherish.
I bought a new pair of jeans...and we checked out the musicworld there...
Came back at extension centre,had nice dinner and went to our cosy cottages......after bhatting
sessions till 1am me and vikc decided to sleep anticipating another b'ful day tomm.

INFOCOMM:the 5 days:Day 2

Day2
====
MOdi was frustrated by now and to some extent me too(neglection of authorities can take heavy toll on u).
Anyways day-2 was much smooother modi and ram went off for quiiz at buisness world which used to give a
prize for every questin correctly answered....ram the wizkid in quiz was an instant hit there brining prizes in heaps..
Me and Ram attended the CM's meeting at Hyat together and i believe modi was a bit frustrated due to
this thing.
Some differenecs abroke out between modi and ram and modi told us that he wants to leave.
By now it was very clear that presentation was a kid's work.Modi's departure signalled the
entry of an angel in the form of "NASKAR" an official from SRIC.He made our rest of the days
one the most memorable days in our lives.Travelling in car became a norm and i phoned reddy to
come along with VIKC.That night Naskar arranged the diro's room for us to sleep and i
must say the room was pretty impressive,just the thought of living in the room was gud enuf for us
to get excited.....the day after we also got to meet the director and IT minister of bengal.
Slept like a baby that day

INFOCOMM:the 5 days:Day 1

DAY 1
=====
The first day me modi and cram reached station at 4:30 am(tittering teeths....brrrr).
Reached KOL at 7:30 caught a taxi and reached extension centre.We came to know
that we were not alloted a room in luxury of ext center but some other place.Without
breakfast we left for INFOCOMM.To our utter dismay we found IIT's stall in education
segment and posters were all lying on ground in rabble.
The Officer from SRIC freaked out and pressed the panic button...we were given a different
stall after all the head-banging.Still lots of problems, the officer seemed to be all at sea
about how to plan the stall look.
In came PPC and as usual he handled the all nuisance with aplomb.
I had my breakfast in between....but i was seriously wishing i shudn't have come by now.
I had a lunch with PPC later and got to meet the man in person...for the first time.
I left the stall with modi and cram at 5 and came back to room for much needed sleep.
The room can be described as shabby at best,the facilities were horrible.
At 7 mithun somehow figured outmy room's address and i was woken up from my deep slumber.
We went off to the city center mall......roam arnd there for sometime along with
his childhood friend(a very good guy)Mitro cracking jokes and njoying window shopping.
After that we headed off to a chinese rastaurent, and after dinner and pastries and icecreams,
I headed back again to room thinking about the ordeal i will have to go thru tomm.

INFOCOMM:the 5 days:Introduction

It was just one of the things that my major motives of staying in a winter were fullfilled in first seven days itself....i landed a lucrative internship @(i won't make it public)...then first time i managed a decent atthi as my sgpa in a semester where i touched book for may be two or three days at max :-).
Life has been rewarding lately,and the luck seems to be smiling on me.
After the paid bangy trip,INFOCOMM presented me to live life to fullest in KOLKATA for 5 paid holidays!!I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who stepped down at last minute from the core of my heart;-).The rewards were the fun,new contacts ,exposure to corporate world,improved presentation and marketing skills,chic-watch/talk,4 cds,2 books,1 digital calendar,saving of atleast 500 rs,incentive of 500 bucks,lots of fond memories and a cool DVD player!!!
So here we go,

Project eval......

I just was expecting that there will be some serious scruitinity of what we have not done.....but there happened a lot of questioning of why we did this thing?I was flummoxed by the way things went and i was wishing my guide desperately to be in panel.I believe that you must have your guide in panel so that if idea itself is basiaclly a wrong one at root,then he shud be the one who shud answer,as he was the one who basically sowed the notion...and we are just gardeners of the plant that has sprang up to life ....doing all the regular work and putting effort in idea,believing that the notion is absolutely correct.

What's worst that just after the macabre viva ur partner claims that ur english is worst in the world?He blames u for ruining the viva and tells that u r not worth a penny?It really hurts....

I tried my level best...and put my 100% in the project.
As far as the blames go ...i think they were said in the heat of the moment.
But what i wud like to emphasise that dude u have some serious problems and come sometime when i will honestly tell u what u need to change in urself......

signing off.....
gotta ask guide tommorrow abt the ideas of pdg
I think its high time that now we should split the project.
