Last few days - an update.

Finatics was over on sunday. Although, it was ritualistic yet, had got several complements from friends. I know that more than Finatics they respect our hard work. Thanks Guys! Life is easier to live with your support.

Then, a long cycle tour once again... back to Ganga Canal and ChoubeyPur. Around 36 kms this time with, almost 10km cut short from last tour. Thanks to Atul Tripathy sir and his fellow prof (I don't know his name) for motivating us. Hitting the GT road after village increases heart beat and this time we covered this 15 km distance on GT road without any significant break. Was about to go Bithoor today morning but, feeling tired because of this scorching summer heat. Next tour will be probably in next sem. Till then, exams and summer interns.

A few wars on facebook and e - mail. Internet sucks big time... hence proved. It is information technology not communication technology. In the name of democracy, we fight over FB and e - mail. Where are we heading towards? Internet should be used for information not for putting arguments and disagreements. So, I have stopped participating in these wars.

Anyways, have tough months ahead.

It begins from today. After burning many mid night oils, we are on the verge of launching of Finatics 2010, annual finance conclave at IIT Kanpur. From today evening, there will be no place to sit idle. On my personal level, I am sure about smooth happening of this event. The stage is set, all we need is participation from students. Lets see how does it turn out. But, I am happy that on 11th, it will be over.

Every time I lost enthusiasm, I decided to move a little further and that's how we have reached till here. There were moments when I thought of scrapping this event but, it was terrific to get support from friends especially Chandan, Ripul, Akhil and Chetak. It is rightly said that sometimes the best strategy is to swim with flow. I know, these 3 days are crucial from a host's point of view. But, I am not alone. We are a batch of 42 odd students and I am sure every body will turn out to make this event a success.

Welcome to Finatics :)

Finatics 2010, IIT Kanpur

It has been a hectic month since I arrived here after mid sem break. Never knew that it would have been so tiring that I would plead God to give me courage to somehow carry on. Now that 2 days are remaining for Finatics 2010 to take off, I am desperate for 11th April evening. Please forgive me, if you think that this event has not sucked life out of my days... Yes! It has. A lot of effort has been done in backside to make this event whatever it is going to be. At this moment, I want to sit aside and peacefully watch whatever happens. The biggest challenge is to manage resources as we could not raise enough money through sponsorships.

I don't want to leave neither do I want to continue... what I need is just a calm evening and silence. It is a sin to lose enthusiasm at this point of time. Together, we have brought this event at this point. I can't lose it now, but I can;t handle it also. I will be the happiest one if it happens without any hurdles. A lot of hard work has gone behind this and the success of it can't be measured in terms of participation.
