4th Sem!!(yet another flash back!)
Well i'm back again and back with yet another flashback ,ya the 4th sem.
It actually amazes me as to how i get the inspiration to do out of normal stuff(like updating my blog) during exam time.Well lets not worry about that and get back to business...ya ..4th sem..here we go again..!!
Ah! 4th sem started with me missing the first 2 days of coll, yup we (me,nari,kannan,srivats,siva and sathish) were enjoying the end of our so called semester vacations in beautiful kodai! and wat a time we had!!
So i returned 2 days later to find out that we had Thanasekar taking TOC(theory of computation) and he was also our class advisor! wow!!
Well since the 4th sem was a little more eventful than the other sems I refrain from rambling about the academics part of it..lol!!
Ya the 4th sem was really eventful, and in I never attended most of the classes and lots of events kept popping up and we had loads of fun...
Whenever i think about the 4th sem the one thing tht hits me the most is the ESPN champions of the World quiz !!lol!!
This post will be filled primarily with our experience in tht event!
and the other thing tht strikes is the event Kurukshetra!! the first time CEG conducted a tech fest!!! and it was amazing..me and Srikant went all the way to Hyderabad to publisize the event and all..!!
Well coming back to ESPN...We saw and ad in ESPN calling all college students who love sports and want to quiz....I told nari abt it and we were like game to go ..just to check it out and be a part of the whole event! We mailed ESPN to ask them for details and we got to know that the prelims for the event took place in 4 centres across India....(bangalore,Mumbai,Delhi,Kolkata)..ya no Chennai...:(:(
We decided to take a chance and were game to go to bangalore to participate, thats when kalai and srivats also decided to come......so the 4 CEGians set off to bangalore to create history!!lol lol!!
AT BANGALORE:-(espn prelims)
So me,nari and srivats arrived at bangalore on a sunday morning(kalai reached earlier). The prelims was slated to take place at 12'o clock or somethin at some St joseph's college.We dint know where it was or the address of tht place........After spending a fortune on autos and transport we finally managed to get ourself to that place.Kalai was waiting for us there....The prelims started me and nari in 1 team ..kalai and srivats in another..our hopes of qualifying were a pretty low when we saw amazing teams from the south..people who had done really well in the espn school quiz and all...The prelims actually went pretty well with us scoring 1 point less than kalai and srivats.........
At first the ESPN people said only 3 teams get to the TV rounds so both of us dint have a chance as they finished 4th and us 6th!..but it was a strong performance nevertheless....taking this in our stride we enjoyed the evening at bangalore..(full SIGHTseeing!)and caught a bus out of bangalore to chennai in the night!!!
THE PHONE CALL:-
After the whole bangalore thing was over , we were back to our original routine and 1 fine day...nari calls me and tells me.."machan srivats got a call frm espn da..it seems they r goin 2 delhi da! we missed out" after talkin 4 hours on the ques we shud hv got right we left it. after 2-3 days i get a call frm ESPN saying they have decided 2 take 6 teams frm each zone and thus we were thru to the national rounds!!!!!!it was amazing 2 teams frm the same college qualifying out of bangalore and to top it all up we were the only team from chennai!!
So..we finally qualified to the national rounds of ESPN ..wow!! our joy knew no bounds.......
PS:- all about Delhi in another post!
