OK.. Don’t judge me yet.. I had my reasons..

Anyhow, to continue from where I left off, next was a presentation by Kenney on the Campus Blogs Initiative..

Or as Sibi called it “Kenney’s ‘push’ for Campus Blogs.”

And this is what that looked like :

And then it was time for the best session of the day..

Which looked something like this :

And, somebody should tell those hotel people to pack more salad next time… I mean, like, jeez !!

Anyhow, due to prior commitments, the author of this post had to abscond from the venue, with what little sanity he had left..

Kenney is rumoured to have looked like this when he found out :

Anyhow, no matter how it went for me.. The techies are still there gossiping about the next Windows version that is coming out..And other techie related stuff..

Eg :

“Dude, like, do you know what Sergey said to Larry?? Like, whoa.. !!”

(Dramatised version, not actual event.)

But, I guess the non-techie contingent (me) has had enough..

Hope somebody else keeps updating you folks..

Over and out..

(Sigh)

Now I wish I had listened to my Dad and gone to Enggineering School..But, then again, oversleeping on the day of the entrance examination didn’t help much…

Session 2 :

Programming Paradigms by Mr. Prasi (??)

Confusing question of the session was regarding the barber in the hypothetical village…

Debate on Twitter :

Kenney : Can a barber shave everyone who does not shave himself, but no one else?

Jr. : Since there is no such thing as a perfect shave, I guess he has license to go around shaving everybody…

Yes, I dint even understand THAT..

Logical question of the day..

Why am I still hanging around??

Though it is God’s Own Country, this even had no features of the usually morbid and never-on-time events that his land is famous for…

I got here on time, and surprisingly enough, the event started on time as well..

Anyhow, first there was an introductory session, when everybody came and introduced themselves.. And I realised..

“OH GOOD GOD, I’m the ONLY non-techie here!!”

But, i continued to sit here itself..

Next was a presentation on startups by this spectacled guy.. Anyhow, dint catch his name.. But, this is what he looks like from behind..

Then it was Mr. Shalvin’s turn to amaze… I’m like completely lost right now.. Are these people talking English or what?? Asp.net? What is that? Sounds like a kinky, low budget Hollywood action movie…

Anyhow, this is what that looked like..

And YES, I’m still here…

Check back to see what happens next..
