Road to fame.

So here at last my internship project was inaugatated by Delhi Government ministers (alas shiela dixit couldnt come.. ) at IITF Pragati Maidan. It was chosen among one of the best projects among some 20 odd e-governance initiatives by Delhi Govt. The event was covered by all major newspapers and a special mention to our project was given in Times of India bringing fame and pride to all of us. Click here for the link

It was really fun being interviewed and getting our project online. The project and our hard work for last 6 months was well received by the people out there. Not only that our project was mentioned in the thesis work done by a Mtech student in his study of BUSTRAP : A Metropolitan Bus Travel Planner. The project provides the shortest possible route between two places in delhi for the commuters of DTC buses.

Diwali Celebration

So here at last got a stretch of four days of festivities at stretch for diwali and other subsequent festivals. An extended weekend to celebrate the festival of lights and to enjoy with your family and relatives. The festivity kicked off (first day) with celebration in office with the interior decorated with flowers and candles. THere was a best traditional dressed contest to add spice to people's creativity to dress like prospective bride and bridegrooms :D which somehow i missed coz the judges missed my seat.

Then came the big day of celebrations, the day to devour sweets and sweets and sweets. It was real fun celebrating diwali travelling in a DTC bus going to a frd's place for 3 hrs journey (one way) which gonna never forget. Though the time passed thanx to the choked networks of all mobile service providers which messages sent being failed and me still continuing to waste money in expectation of finally sending messages to near and dear ones. It was great fun afterwards celebrating with friends eating ( i must say like gourmet after a never ending journey) lots of good food. And then yet again journey bak to my place. The traffic was choked with people travelling to seems like nowhere but still driving and driving till they somehow reach somewhere.

The bursting of crackers nowadays on diwali has reduced in comparison to earlier years mite be coz of two reasons : prices of crackers reaching sky-high and awareness among students about pollution. But the skyline was sparkling with crackers of all hues delineating constellations of all kind.

So after two days of diwali celebrations comes (third day) Govardhan pooja which is a day for vishwakarma pooja as well. The day's speciality being Annakuta which is a special food prepared to celebrate the occasion of govardhan. Fourth day being fav. of gals with their brothers showering them with gifts on the occasion of Bhaiyadooj. And finally time to relax till monday after lotsa fun and relaxation...

A lil' Love

here it goes ::

right when you think you don't need love is when you need it most
even if you got the father the son and the holy ghost
well there's more to truth baby than what we know is true
ya we wonder round in the darkness
but every now and then a little shines thru
and a little love - just a little love can change it all

Another of my fav lyrics by none other than Bryan Adams. His songs are my all time favs which one can listen anytime anyplace. A lil love is another good one with amazing lyrics with feelings which most of us encounter at some or other time in our day to day life which is beautifully portrayed by these beautiful lyrics by Bryan. Do visit Bryanadams.com for lyrics and songs by him. Waiting to get the songs of his next album 'Room Service'. And since the album released MTV comes up everyday with his recorded concert with crowd swinging and shouting to his music.. ... will come up with more on Byran shortly...

Euphoria at MDI

Euphoria came to MDI for their annual fest Imperium. So it was a night out with couple of friends for fun, music and dance. As usual the event started late as palash is always late to come. The setting was really nice with the weather at its best with nice breeze blowing and sporadic drizzling. The gathering was enough for a good music nite. The band arrived dressed in all white with Palash looking at his best and with another cutie guy in the band.

So the musical nite was kicked off with the arrival of Dr palash and his bandmates with a song which got all of us bored. Later though he came up with better songs. I wanted to hear 'Maeeri' which is one real good song by Euphoria. Soon it also came and left the crowd asking for more and enthralled. Soon he also came up with some english songs (Summer of 69) for that matter and couple of other hindi hits. The event was all the more enjoyable coz of the group (kept dancing thruout even when real morone songs were aired :D ) and the weather.

THe event soon came to an end with most of us left with energy to dance. So thanx to mdi we jived at their dance party thereafter. The energy these b-schoolers were still left with after 3 days of fest and weeks of preparation was at display in their dance party with all of them swinging to the tunes played by the DJ.

As every good thing comes to an end it was time to pack and leave. But the surprise of the evening was in store for us as we were stopped by policemen while going bak. But it was a really enjoyable evening with lotsa fun and masti.
