The joys of winning!!!

Lets hav a little flashback for this...remember the TPP and PPT that we wer preparing??!! the paper finally got selected for the final 10 and then came the intensive practise sessions! Reading and re-reading and byhearting some parts of the tpp, understanding others, getting used to the slides, learning each other's part also to synchronize slide clicking...phew its a wonder we actually managed to get thru it all!!

Then there was the part abt printing 2 hard copies of the paper. My tpp partner insisting on professional digital printout only...so wasted good 2 hrs at the printer's. Also another 3 at L'oreal getting myself presentable for the presentation!

A complete dress rehersal later we wer almost ready to face the judges and audience. The first day of Techithon with first 5 papers being presented caused us to re-evaluate our preparations! The next day of Techithon, the day of presenting the next 5 papers, the day we wer to present our paper.....the D-Day!!!!

What was most touching to see was the overwhelming crowd of supporters tht had gathered exclusively for us. Armed with atleast half a dozen digicams and camera cells they wer waiting as if we'd unveil 4G itself! Ofcourse the Millipede paper by SP team was too good and our hopes of winning dampened a bit!

But my tpp partner really does perform well under pressure and i got hold of my confidence and courage too out of thin air....it went 'like a dream' as the saying goes and we even fielded all questions successfully!!!

The results wer declared and the 1st prize goes to......4G : THE FUTURE OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS!!!!!!!
