Access 2008 *huh* over.

So, finally I'm here with my post talking about Access 2008.Though,I'm a bit late but my reason is that my power supply box(in CPU) got burned on 17th while I was away.So,the engineer didn't come on the day he told and I had to wait for a whole day without my computer.

Anyways talking about my 2 days at Access 2008 at Modern School were great and I made the most of it as it was my last symposium in 10th grade.Day 1 was rather uneventful as I had to wait for around 4-5 hours or so from the morning for my event.I met Abhinav a.k.a Quicksilver from DPS Dwarka and he introduced me to one of his friends Anuj from DPS Rkp.

Then me and Pulkit wandered throughout the school and explored every nook and corner of the school so as to pass our time.The canteen was great,infact,it was one of the best I've ever seen in any school and the food out there was good.The lunch organised by the school folks was just okz, not much worth.And to pass time we even did some lame photography(which I'll post later in a photographic post about Access 2008).

Then, we had our event and I guess, I did a good job but I think others were better than me thats why I didn't went on to win anything.

Day 2
Today was our(Me and Pulkit) day because today we were here for our mainstream event in which we somewhat specialize,i.e.,quizzing.We went in for Junior Quiz prelims and did a really superb job and we were sure that we would surely make it to the finals and we actually did.I was feeling good and then after it was announced officially,it began a series of calls to tell the good news to family and friends.After that we had our lunch.Again it was okz and I didn't eat much out of nervousness.Then began the finals and we're in lead in the first round then I don't know what happened to us in 2nd,3rd and 4th round as these rounds proved to be our 'bald' phases. Then in 5th round,we missed one of our direct questions which was : "What does Intel stands for?". I knew this answer but a certain aura of confusion,lack of confidence or nervousness caused this answer to slip out of my mind and the time limit just finished and we were just left showing a 'shameful' smile because its a basic quizzing questions and we should have known it. And now,this question has been in my mind and soul for the last 2 days and is haunting me constantly because if we would have answered it we would have made a podium-finish.But, atlast we came 4th and this rank proves to be a jinx for us coz of Exun 2007 where we again came 4th.

Anyways I came back home and slept.
Then next day went to school and took my papers and played basketball and then in the evening I watched I'm Legend.Its a great movie.A must-watch.

Eve of Pre-Boards

Hey Hi.
I just a small petty break from my pre-boards prep for my S.St paper.The syllabus is just so vast and I think I'll be lost in this 'inferno'.Anyways,I won't waste much time about cribbing about this.The point is simple I wasted a lot of time in the past days and now I'm somewhat regretting. ;)

But let me just give a quick but (un)necessary update about all the stuff thats going on in and around my not-so-interesting life.
First of all,the Mumbai attack.I mean the operation are over and now the blame game between politicians and intelligent agencies is going on.But I won't go into details and make my blog a target for all the political critics.
Then,on my personal front,tomorow onwards I'll be having my Pre-boards and I'll try as much as possible to come here and keep on giving a short and peppy update of how's it going coz I won't be able to write long posts on interesting topics.Also,I'll hopefully be participating in Modern School's "Access 2008" which has been postponed to 16-17 December. Yipee..Atleast my jinx of all symposiums will (hopefully) be broken,at last.

And yeah,yesterday I wasted around 1 hour or so to find this not-so-beautiful theme but I liked it to some extent for its dark shades and it matches my mysterious personality. HEHE. :)
I guess it'll surely be appreciated by all,but I'll surely change it as soon as possible.

So that was a nice lil' update,though I wanted to write a longer post on something more interesting but as every scratch card says "Better Luck Next Time".So, I'll also sign off or all that S.St stuff will surely take me down on the ground.

DPS dilemma.

Hey hi.
These DPS society folks have put me in a big dilemma because they have scheduled all their IT symposiums (which I always long for) at the wrong time, i.e., they are all scheduled at such a worse time of the year when there's the pressure of IInd term exams and this exam fear feels like a sword that's constantly pricking on my neck and will fall anytime.

See there's DPS Mathura Road's event "WARP" on 19th of this month.Then, there's DPS Vasant Kunj's event "Code Wars" on 21st November and then after a week or so, there's this big mega event of DPS R.K. Puram "EXUN 2008" on 29th and 30th November.
I really want to be a part of all these.Last year,I gave DPS-VK's event a miss because of some reasons,but I went to DPS-RKP and WE became the finalists in the quiz,though it wasn't exactly a 'podium-reaching' attempt.So,this time I want to go there again and (try to) relive the magic.But the climax is that its on 29th and from 4th December onwards I've my IInd term exams and the first exam is of Social Studies.I guess the name is bold enough(literally and figuratively) to make you understand,what I wish to convey.That's not a problem,though,I'll somewhat try to cover up the syllabus beforehand.But the biggest problem is to convince my folks at home.
Someone please help.The same scene is there in every 'Techeez' member's household.

Also,there's this event CORE of DPS -Dwarka,I don't know when is it,though and we haven't got an invite from them.So,thats out of question.And yeah,there's this TCS IT Whiz Quiz on 11th December at IIT delhi,but that's totally out of question because on 12th,I've my science exam and it'll surely be taking the shit out of me.

As a conclusion,I would just like to advice DPSites to keep their symposiums in October like they always do.Please don't mind.This post is not aimed to show show any disrespect to DPSites.
