Tech Tricks

Techithon - the name means a technical marathon - was a hard name to come up. There were hours and hours of debate over the name for ACE's techfest when my batch had to start its very first. I forgot whom the credit for this particular name goes to bt its stuck and its the name on every1's lips now...Atharva's techfest is in the 'happening' clique now!!

So why mention this now and here?? Bcos Techithon'07 just finished...and ofcourse if ur a regular blog reader you will kno this post isnt to glorify the fest or to giv post-fest comments!! Its to elaborate on the giant step for student-kind and teacher-kind that I took. I'm refering to my progress each Techithon, enumerated below...

Techithon '05 : Getting CSI's permission for the logo, generally helping to organise it, marveling at Mr. Techithon's event management genius, event-head for Programming, escorting committee member, host for inauguration, participant for GD/PI.

Techithon '06 : Presenting the 4G paper and walking away with the first prize...ofcourse this time with Mr. Techithon marveling at my technical genius (i hope!)

Techithon '07 : Judge for GD/PI, TPP, Ad-Mad World and Debate. Spoke at the inauguration about Techithon '05 - ACE's first techfest (phew! that makes me feel old!).

So the million dollar question : How does it feel to move from being an organiser to a judge? Oh very different! Really hard to describe but feels great. Perhaps i'll make more effort to answer with more clarity if i really was offered a million dollars for this :D

All in all its one more reason to add to why the name Techithon is so special...thats simply bcos it holds loads and loads of memories for me!! From convincing and being convinced that we WILL have a techfest to taking PIs as a judge...I guess I've come a long way...Can't say i'll be a part of more Techithons but wherever I am the least i'd do is surely change my orkut pic for it!!

While we are at it...3 cheers for the Techithon'07 team...it was very well organised indeed!!!
