The first dew of spring: IEBT CALLING......Chapter 1:

“Excuse me sir, may i come in?” enters in a room filled with seniors, takes the empty seat at the corner and notices everyone present in the room. Wow, the bhaia with the French beard looks scary! This is was my first general body meeting of IEBT. God! Every1 looks so matured and works like a pro here! The bhaia with the French beard is asking us for ideas regarding the jobs related to a trip, going to be organised by IEBT! Terms like “publicity”..... “Sponsorship”....was always heard on tv relating to some movie project or the launch of a huge product in the market! I mean i can’t bargain with any shopkeeper for nuts how do they manage to get such huge sum of money from them???When ideas were asked regarding the publicity someone said “FACEBOOK”....WOW! We couldn’t get any cooler than this!!! IEBT will be organising it’s technical fest named “symbiot” sometime in march and before that we will be conducting a “pre-symbiot” fest where we would have one “non-technical” event and one “technical” event. Again, the bhaia with the French beard asks for “innovative” ideas. Mukta ma’am comes up with an event where one would have 2 recycle the goods by making a working model or something! Bravo! My brain starts racing at an astonishing pace......you know “life is a race and if u don’t run fast you will be like a broken unda”!!
The first thing that came up in my head was “gaming”....the best way of attracting students towards our fest! Create our own server and have a online “W.O.W” gaming competition! This could come under the “non-technical” event and when i heard the word “sponsorship” somehow McDonald’s popped up in my head. Though this could be a sign from my roaring stomach that it was hungry.
No, but seriously if we somehow go 2 Mangalore and get McDonald’s and KFC to sponsor us our fest could be the biggest attraction of the town and imagine the huge outbust of manipal kids hungry for a zinger burger.....IT’S MAGNIFICIENT!!!!!!
All this going on in one end of my head while the other end says “man!!! I m working with a real working committee, conducting trips ,national level fests, managing accounts n what not! I feel like such a KID beside them!!!!!” admist of all this kritika ma’am calmly comes up 2 us n asks “haan toh how much do u know about symbiot?” And we managed the instant answer “NOTHING” ... she briefly explains the fest and puts us on the sponsorship team. We will be working under our seniors, handling small dealings. The meeting ends and now begins the making of life size project!!!! Waiting for my first endeavour.....
To be continued........
