REPORT WRITING ABCD ABCD, the technical symposium, held true to its tagline- The stovepipe there was, the best there is, the best there ever will be. A throng of students from various colleges flocking the campus. The able coordinators lead them through registration and to the paper presentation lawsuit which kicked off the day long extravaganza. The quizzing event had many students attending the preliminary event but besides a few reached the final. The final was a suspenseful experience with cut-throat competition and a tie break win.Being from the computer science dep maneuverment, the students proved their mettle in the code debugging event, which was lauded by all the participants as an fall out of the ordinary approach to the competition. Mobile app development and digital art gave an opportunity for non-programmers. We also had non-technical events like Dumb charades and Adzap where students channelled their inner actor. Shipwreck and JAM events attracted many. The great est looker however was full toss, an indoor version of cricket, the surprise event of the day.The success that we saw was not without reason. So, it would only be befitting to mention the long but rewarding journey behind it. The planning started out small, with the class representatives drawing up the budgets. Soon, all the students were pitching in with the organization of Kranti. Procuring sponsorship for the event was a disclosure of sorts. We learnt a hard lesson that every rupee has to be earned and nothing comes free. Despite the scoffs, refusals, doors shut on our faces, we managed to get a whooping amount of two lakhs.The event brought out a whole new notional side of the students hidden behind a facade of technical expertise. The walls were laced with authentic Indian art like warli and madhubani paintings. The boys erected a look-alike model of the Vivekananda memorial- a fitting centrepiece. The official website of abcd was built from scratch by our in-house technocra ts. The state of the art creation showcased our theme beautifully and enabled students to register online. The experience taught us to work as a team and we came to respect each other.We played off each others strengths temporary hookup respecting our own shortcomings. This resulted in an efficient and organised event that went along without a hitch right up to the valedictory function. Participants filing out, the charts pulled down, furniture restored to their normal arrangement- the day was coming to an end. We were swarmed with a multitude of emotions. Relieved the event was over, euphoric the event was a success, sore to our every last bone, a little sad that brio was back to normal, one thought unified us all- the day was going to be etched in our minds forever as the epitome of our college life.
