"Curtain Raiser" to ALCHERINGA'08

For the first time in the history of IITG, we are having a Curtain Raiser to Alcheringa'08 and that too with a blast!

This will include following events to be showcased during the last day of our dear "Manthan" :

• The curtain raiser - a peek-a-boo in 2008 Retro edition
• A Dance performance by 'Cadence' the IITG dance group
• Mr. & Ms. final year - the biggest attraction!
• Our favourite- "4th year nite"

A coffee with the 'Convener'...

Today I went on a coffee with the 'Convener', the man!! The man supposed to be the 'sultan' of the most happening thing in IITG. Soon I realised my biggest misconception. No, he's not that happy(I thought) rather he's busy making others happy. Be it the team member's 'busy'-ness or sponsor's laziness(I suppose the Admin work hasn't started yet), he's the one who gets a feather added to his cap of million responsibilities.
But team...team is full time active...then where is the problem??
...dedication??

Hats off to designers!!

'Patience' is the word for designers... I realised this recently while I was sitting with the design team'08 today. An uncountable number of "suggestions" from everyone who passed by, over the design of Events Brochure which will be released soon, and that too with a pinch of uncertainty over what they want. Half said and rest half expected by "everyone" to be understood by the designers. Despite all, they sat their 'kewl'... pressing 10 keys at a time, changing 100 colours at a time and managing 1000 "layers" at a time..(I learnt this term 'layer' the same day, it's something in the Photoshop :) ) Finally after million surveys and incorporating 'valuable suggestions' by everyone, we got the main page of the brochure finalised. While I was taking a look at it, I realised that the designer has tried to portray Retro in today's colourful GenNext..but then I soon realised, is it necessary that everyone think it the same way??...
think you'll answer this better...

REVEL in RETRO !!

So friends, at the time when Team'08 has just started the work, not in full fledge though, but still significant developments are taking place daily, in each team which are enough to worry about something or the other, and when whole IITG is busy awaiting Manthan(2 weeks away), I'll look dumb to post something at 4.40 AM. :)
So, cut the crap, enjoy the release Poster!
Get ALCHERised.. :)

Just to mark an achievement, Publi team'08 has gone active well on schedule with teams sent to Gangtok, Darjeeling, Kolkata, Patna etc. regions already.
