After a very long time, had been to office. I even don't remember being to office on sat.... Today had been to work as they made it as a working day ;) because we lost a day due to our tech fest - OSMOSIS. Had to struggle a bit for lunch as it was not a working day for lunchwalas. but still got something to fill my tummy on time.. There are essence of being to work tomorrow aswell.. so catch u tomo with more updates. byeeeeeeeee
OSMOSIS - "diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal" - meaning you get when you search for it.
Yes, it is a diffusion of knowledge, Technology in our case. A technical fest @ mindtree is called as Osmosis. This fest will be spread across for around 3 months. It started in October when I just joined. There were lots of competitions held through out this 3 months like paper presentation, patterns and lots to name it including daily quizs. Between it had Antaakshari aswell in its basket to add some flavour to the techies..
And today was the conclusion day for all these and was done in grand style. * * Today fest started at 9AM with the lighting of lamp and our chief guest was CIO of BurgerKing and the speaker was Jnanapeeta award winner Mr.U.R. AnanthMurthy. * Later there was a morning refreshments. * Pre lunch there were two session one for R&D Services n the other for IT Services on Technology Transformation. * A rock band of MindTree played some beautiful instruments during lunch hr. * Post lunch there was a panel discussion along with paper presentation by the winners parallely and a valedictory which formally ends our technical fest.
There were around 35 stalls throughout the day to share their their knowledge with the visitors. They had lots of competitions n gifts to give away to attract the visitors to thier stalls.
But now our technical was extended with cultural. There was a mindblowing contemparory dance by Abhinava Dance Academy who performed "OJOS" (means brightness) which was specially choreographed for MindTree(tha dha, raasaleela, nigaah, kadam kadam - theme of the dances) followed by a home performance again with a awesome contemporary dance (theme ocean).

one more point I noticed here was, no one was allowed in between any of the talks. Either we need to go and sit before the talk starts or will have to join for the next talk. This was done only to show courtesey to the speakers as they tell !!
Went to a Nokia dealer in GandhiBazaar to buy an earphone for my Samsung c230 phone which was in my pocket. He gave that for Rs.270 and even I paid it through my CC(CreditCard).
Then suddenly it splashed to my mind for a new mob as couple of keys in my current mob were not working. Then checked for a mob with only constraint for a FM. So checked some basic Nokia models which i didnt liked. So then remem an Ad from Motorola of their new flip model with FM. So jus asked for it and I really liked and thought worth for the price.
Okie...the model is named W220 but plz dont ask y d name ;)
some features of it goes like this jus for Rs.3950/-
