Technopreneurship @ CBIT

Thus the curtains come down on t-summit.

The event was construed in the hope that it would be the one-stop event showcasing the best entrepreneurship talent in the state, but sadly the event hardly took off this year. Last year it had modest beginnings, with quite a few teams and participants from outside the city turning up and trying to showcase their skills. It was a success in more ways than one for a first time event.

But this year, the event besotted with problems(as someone mentioned it) could hardly manage anything more than a couple of brickbats for the overall event management. An event that is supposed to showcase the best in entrepreneurship and management has not a single guy from the MBA school taking active part(not that MBA @ CBIT is something to boast of).

Most, actually all of the events had the freshies and the 2nd years joining in the fun. Most bunked classes for the event and ended up getting screwed, thanks to the pathetic organizers. Some events were bad and some worse. Overall the general impression that i could gather is that the event was kinda mediocre(I'm being very generous here).
My contribution was to an event called E-challenge which had this innovative round on buying and selling. People bought items in an auction and then ran around the entire breadth and width of the college to sell them in a virtual market. I made the initial questionnaire that helped filter out the 'unworthy' junta. The event was a success(i have to be good to this event else i wont be given my certi:( ). And i guess i have to congratulate all the guys involved in it(means me :) )
The good part was i was allowed to take part in the same event(this is CBIT man. anything goes :P ) the selling part was fun with us flirting with the girls(who were the buyers) big time(i was amazed at the heights i could reach). But it did help and i sold quite a few items big. Thats quite a brief overview of the event :)

The previous post pretty much summed up my impression of t-summit but this event was kinda a make up party, i would say. So i guess i had to write something good about them for my own selfish needs :p

Yeah, guys, decent screw up! Could have been much worse ;)

p.s. if its of any use, heres the link to the dumbest site ever www.tsummmit.org

Of douchebags and screwups

This year has been kind to me atleast when quizzes are concerned.
Especially when i consider the fact that i made it to the Tata Crucible finals beating umpteen b-schools. The prizes were good too. Then i also made it to the finals at the Pre-spring spree quiz hosted by NIT-warangal. Not bad at all. Then at the Cognizant thingy, i missed out on my offer letter by a question :( i always do that, dont i :(

But then came this campus quiz at my place.
trust my luck to land me in the worst place.

It was supposed to be a business quiz, which sucked in ways that are alien to any sane quizzer. To say that it was a major fuckup wld be complementing the moron (i have to be nice on my blog, shldnt i :) ) who hosted it. actually a douchebag wld be a more apt description of the guy (or was he a gal :-?? i dont want to knw)
It was an utter waste of 200 bucks :( i cld have watched 2 movies or atleast hogged a couple of subs, which makes it all the more painful.

The moron thinks a quiz needs a case study round and then he doesnt inform us beforehand. His gang of gutless wimps were informed of the round before and thus they had time to prepare themselves for this round. Come on what kinda quiz actually has case studies and crap. I'm sure any quizzer would be dumbfounded at what the levels of quizzing in campuses are now falling to (atleast at my place)
Then after 10 minutes of arguing with the guy, about the nuances of holding a quiz, i had to concede because the rest of them were all ganged up against me. Then starts the round. I straightaway copy the concept of a Rocket powered Hand Glider which won a couple of mates an offer letter from Cognizant. The point was we didnt know the absolute technical details of the thing and so we were kinda screwed but in the end we did defend ourselves very well. The 'gang of gutless wimps' headed by the moron then started questioning me, about all kinds of crap completely unrelated to the concept and thus i stage a minor walkout.
Then the next group presents something, which has me laughing my ass off. i start to question the guy when the moron steps in and starts defending the poor gutless wimps.

And thus disgusted i have no option but walk out on the guys(or gals) and at the end i made sure the guy overheard the choicest of expletives i could gather from the corners of my mind.

Well i am not the best loser but losing out in an event which called itself a 'quiz' and was just a complete hogwash and an utterly disgusting plot aimed at making money is repulsive. Should have demanded a bloody refund from the sluts >:P

Disgusting pieces of slutty character, wimps,lacking any sense of sanity! u guys do deserve the cake for the organisation of a bloody spineless sucky "quiz".
Adios asswipes. yuck !

p.s i think i might after all be kind to u. i'll ensure u guys (aka wimps/sluts/douchebags etc.) are given ur 15 seconds of fame in the newsletter :)

it hurts and it hurts bad.
there have been times when things havent gone my way. i have to admit, i'm not the best loser in the world, but never before did it hurt so bad. There have been dozens of instances, when i havent been upto the mark, be it in my efforts or dedication, but then i knew i deserved what i got most of the times if not all.

This time was the one time, i wanted it so bad, and i know i put in a lot of effort. Effort that i wouldn't have normally thought myself capable of. It was one whole week, i fucked up everything, that week, and little did i know then that was the week of fuck ups. It pains me when i think of it.
The worst part is i still cant put a finger at what went wrong. It could have been much easier, had i been able to decipher the mistake. I spend nearly a couple of hours brooding on this, and i'm lost for answers. they elude me.

There were times before engg. when i thought this was the wrong line to be in, and most times i console myself on that, but deep down i knw the fault is with me. Its me i guess, who needs an introspection. Times when i've blamed the whole world for every one of my failures are now a distant memory.
Never before, did failure hurt me so bad and i have no idea why this hurts so much. I am at a loss for words to describe the lows after this. Its pathetic and i'm surprised, that i let it matter to me so much. I wish i cld forget everything, but it aint gonna happen and i have to live with it.

Not once, not even, when i got that rejection letter from NUS or when i lost at ESPN, did i ever do this. But this time, it hurts and i hate admitting this.
But as i sit in the balcony still pondering, i cant hold back my tears any longer
