Spandan @ IIIT!!! Let's Log Out.... @

Wo man.. Had a nice weekend after such a loooooooong time...

Last week was a hectic one, but the nice part was that it ended on a great note.. Spandan, IIIT's annual "culturals" (if u can call it that - it is more like IIIT's annual 'everything')was held over the weekend.

My week started with the NFS (Need for Speed) competition, where I came in 3rd (he he).. Then came saturday.. The college was bright with orange colored Spandan shirts everywhere... The treasure hunt event started at 10 am. Pradheep, Kamya, Sonal and I teamed up. I called up Abi and asked her to come.. Konjam neram scene potaa that she has to go to work. Appuram she too joined us in full formal clothing (It was the first time I saw her in formals).. At the end of the 9th clue, we were ahead with 2 clues to go and with a 45 minute lead.. And then we blew it.. we got stuck in that clue and we didnt win :( .. Congrats to Gopi's team that won the event...

The same day we had Dumb-Charades (Dumbsi - for all us localites)... This time it was Pradheep, Abi, Sonal and I. I did the miming and the team was really great, given that this was the first time we played it together - they were able to understand most of my mimes... The first movie's name was "The Incredibles", the second was "Home Alone", the third was "From Russia with Love".. The fourth movie was fun.. I had to act out "Meet the Fockers"... I wasnt quite sure how to act it out... Yeah Yeah... I heard you.. I ultimately showed "the symbol"... but being very nice people, my teammates couldnt decipher the name of the movie.. :). But the funniest part of the entire show was when a friend of mine was asked to act out "Anaconda". The poor fellow thought it was some pre-historic ape man and he acted out like one.. No one in their wildest dreams would have guessed he was trying to act out an "Anaconda".. Man, that was funny...

That night was the Programming and Algo contest.. This time, Abi and I paired up and Kamya and Pradheep paired up and we made a team of four. The questions were very interesting and we got some good solutions for the problems... I dozed off at around 2 in the morning but Abi was awake till 6 and so were Kamya and Pradheep.. These guys again got up at 8 or something and worked on the code.. I leisurely got up at 11 after Abi sent 8 missed calls and 2 sms'.. Well, we ultimately could upload only 2 solutions before the 1 pm deadline...

Oh yeah.. I totally forgot.. We practiced for a dance, but we couldnt put it up because of lack of preperation.. Velai romba adhigamaa irundhudhu last week.. So, andha plan veenaaapochi!!

The culturals went off nice.. Donny's guitar (Bow!!!), Gaurav's song (Bow!!!), Pankaj's Congo (Bow!!!), Arshad's telugu song and Srini's dance were all lovely....

It was probably the best weekend for me @ iiit!!!

    We (Gopi's team) did not win the treasure hunt. We lost it in the last round :(. The junior guys (aditya, arvind, siddhartha, gurmeet) won it.

    you started off with "Wo man.. Had a nice weekend after....." . I thought the first 2 words were actually "woman" and was deciphering it for a long time . And yeah ...I did come up with some "crazy" solutions .Sorry machaan ...unnai thappa nenuchitain ;-) .
