Long time since I posted anything. Anyways, the semester began with the usual enthusiasm, with many of my friends taking vows to sincerely study for the rest of the semester to come. And it wasnt rocket science to guess what was to follow a week later.... ;) . Anyways , the curriculum this semester covered many topics of my interest....like Finite Element Method, CAD/CAM , Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and Automobile Engg. This time we have 2 really good teachers taking RAC and Auto classes for us. Learning under them is quite an experience.
Pragyan was scheduled to be held from 12th to 15th Feb and I was supposed to manage the Prelims round of Tux Venture. Prelims were scheduled to be held on Feb 1. Around 2 weeks , before the event we had a wonderful surprise. Gurudev was supposed to visit Trichy during the last week of January . I was thrilled to hear that. The next week we tried to convince the Secretariat to schedule Guruji's visit to our college, but with no success. Guruji suggested us to meet him during the satsang which was to be held in the city. That made sense , since a look at his travel schedule these days can give headache to most of us. Around 5 days before the maha satsang, Dr. Babu who was incharge of the whole event met the director and a few of us regarding the participation in the mahasatsang. The task was to reach out to as many youth as possible and confirm their participation in this event. The catch was we had only 1 day to cover around 50 colleges in the city. Dr. Babu with all his enthusiasm convinced the Vice Chancellors of the 2 main universities, namely Bharatidasan and Anna , to send students for this event . Within 2 days the 10 of us reached out to approx. 50 colleges and around 2 - 2.5K people in the city. The Director guarenteed participation of around 600 students from our college itself. Kshitiz and SK volunteered to ensure participation from our college. A lot more happened , even during the day of the mahasatsang and days prior to them , all that sometime later. However, my event prelims date was right around the corner and with all the time put in the AOL work it was really difficult for me to set even half the target questions for the prelims . We decided to write around 300 questions but managed to gather around 130. Thanks to Sathya,Sanket and Akhil who did a lot of the work themselves for this.... (I managed to set only about 52 questions .... :( ) Anyways , all s well that ends well , the event gathered a nice response with around 130 registrations and participation from a number of colleges. ...
Bye , gtg , class at 920 ...
Jai Gurudev...
