Everybody keeps talking about how college is the best part of one's life... I never knew how cool it was till today!!! In fact I had the most amazing time of my life, and even though I might fall asleep anytime on the keyboard... I told myself... I had to put down the whole gamut of emotions I went through today.

Well, you might be wondering why today of all days... what's so special about March 12th?!?! Don't worry people, no more suspense :) it was Waves '09 , the National Level Technical Symposium conducted by the Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineers of the College of Engineering, Guindy ... ( now that was a LONNNNNNNNNG sentence :D )

It's not that this is the first time we've had something like this... but this one was special. :D Started off with me trying to wear a saree and driving Mum up the wall :D Then some last minute rushing around getting all my things together and setting out for the hour long voyage to Guindy :D ( more on my expeditions in another post :D )

Change of scene : Vivekananda Auditorium or as we fondly call it... Vivek Audi :) That was the place of the famed "sorting" as one of my seniors put it. Now let me list out some of the stuff I learnt there:

  • Never let juniors rag you :) I know 2 of them who'd be reading this soon :P
  • Act mad ... but always ensure the door's closed :)
  • Scream all you want ... but check whether the mike's switched off :)
  • Go early for food... I've learnt that hunger can be an amazing teacher :)
  • Don't try dancing in high heels unless you've done it before... you could end up breaking your shoe's heel or much worse spraining your ankle... I ended up with the broken shoe heel :)
  • Always carry spare batteries for your camera.. and do check whether the spares work :D
More thoughts later... :)
