Dreamt did we…
convention we defied….
an awesome fest we made….
a awesome feeling we had….
worked with a team of 800 …
to make many thousand memories…
these days are gone now … for most, never to come back…
life is listless now and boring….. and jobless we are…
filling these voids with memories.. is what is left…
22 of us togeather… and 10 months time…
did all that we could to bring those three days to life..
Dream on we say now….. and dream on is what we preach …
towards 2k10 we move….. sayonara 2k9… Dream on and good bye …

10 month, 183 meetings, 22 managers, a team of 800, over 30 technical competitions… much more than that on the spot, 22 lakh worth of prises, frebies worth over a crore, over 45000 visitors on those three days, 72 sleepless hours, over a million euphoric moments… and many more problems that we faced….the pleasures of winning .. the feeling of being the best…  Yes this was Techfest 2009 …

Over the next few blog entries i will take you through the way we made the most memorable Techfest till date…

Bye for now ..

October 20, 2008

Its been exactly 7 months and 8 days now that i have been working as a Techfest manager. Working would be the wrong term to describe it since these last seven odd months have been the best of my life till date. Be it the 12 hour meeting (believe me we had one from 9:00 in the night to 8:30 the next morning on the 11th of July when we sat in the Techfest Office deciding names for our competitions) or the ass kicking that i got on my birthday (didn’t hurt that badly then …….. but couldn’t get out of bed the other day) or the DUTCH (ha … hamara OC kanjoos hai ……) treat at the Happy Singh restaurant, I have enjoyed every bit of it .

With exactly 93 days left to the festival, I thought of penning out my experiences till now.  We have been 7 months into building the twelfth edition of Asia’s largest science and technology festival and its coming up almost as we have planned it to be till now. Let’s see how stuff goes on as I continue writing on this blog – the memories of a Techfest manager.

Hope to see you guys around for Chapter 1: A half of the 22 – The Admin
