Tatva Rocked!
It was 9th March, One day before Tatva...
Everyone was revved up, 18events over 2 days! Preparations were on full scale!
Meanwhile, We had to get the T-Shirts collected for the Fest on the very day....T-shirts came.. looked cool:-)
Got a great deal on em too..MSEB said that current wouldnt go on teh 10th.. Life seemed perfect...
The robotics tracks were setup, LAN games were installed & tested;-)... everything was fine...My Photo was in the Mid-day dated 9th March;-)... So that was one cool thing for that day...
It was 4:00pm.. The Raymond dudes arrived to setup their Banners & Hoarding all over the college... The chaps were setting up a huge 26x12 foot hoarding in college. They arrived at about 7:30pm... It looked awsum... I was in college till 1AM along with Prem & Parik monitoring the whole thing...
Headed back to hostel & got some shut eye..
Woke up the next mornin, it was 8:30 AM... The morning was affirmed by the high pitched resonating yelp of Neo... #$%^#%$#$ Neo!
The day of Tatva had arrived!
The plan for the day was:
I get a call from them at 10:00AM saying that they were still stuck in Andheri.. & they still hadnt reached the Chief Guest's Residence!!!
The Guest of Honour(GoH) had arrived at 10:15AM, perfectly on time...We then took the GoH to the princi's cabin. While the princi & GoH were chatting, we were wondering how things should be planned..
It was 11AM, the Raymond Grooming Workshop people had arrived. These chaps were still in Andheri!!!
Problems had begun...The GoH & princi were ready, Grooming Workshop Staff was ready but CG wasnt there!
Well, I did the most logical thing I could do then, & got the inaugural postponed.
At 11:45AM, finally the chaps arrived with the Chief Guest(CG)... We welcomed the CG & offered him some refreshments, & immediately got things setup for the inaugural...
Got the inaugural started by 12:15PM...I gave my speech:-p haha it was a 1minute extempore.. went off decent...Kunal has recorded 47 seconds of it:-p.. will put it up soon;-)
Inaugural was over... We cleared the audi to setup for the Raymond Grooming Workshop...
It was 1:30pm, The Grooming session was all setup.. The Female writes 'G' 'R', on the white board, when Boom! the current goes!!
Im like "what teh #$#@$#!!!".. the damn MSEB idiots said that current wudnt go! Its crazy time for me! Many of teh events were Computer Based...But as this thing wasnt under my control.. couldnt really do much...
People participated in the Quiz Eliminations(which were luckily Paper based!)....So we had crowd there...
It was 3:30PM, & still no real reply from MSEB regarding the Power Scenario... The Raymond People had other appointments too, so, we got the Grooming Workshop cancelled....
The current finally came back at 5PM! @#$#@$ MSEB!!
Inspite of all this current nonsense we still had a lot of participants waiting back to participate...i guess that was coz of the good prize money:-p...
so, the fest went on till 8pm!
It felt cool at the end of the day...inspite of all this nonsense happnin, I still didnt lose my cool..Took things as they were & made things better, wherever possible...I guess I work well under pressure:-)...
At the end of the day we had excellent participation & collection from registrations were greater than those from the previous year!
Day 1 was eliminations & Day 2 was the finals of all those events...
Day 2 went off smooth... No Power Cuts(thankfully!).... We also had a lecture on IPR(Intellectual Property Rights), which was excellent.
After the fest, a group of us i.e the main organisers all went for a celebration to Vashi.. Basically Hogged!
so, in the end...Tatva Rocked!:-)
Like the saying goes, "All's well that ends well"...
The fest was a result of the hardwork of all the organizers & volunteers...I wanna congratulate them on the great job done! Wouldnt have been possible without u guys!
Great job!!
