Today, three of us namely, Vansh Muttreja(That’s me!) , Rijul Jain and Digvijay Singh went to Banyan Tree School for Innova, the actual computer symposium. Spectrum is the collective name for all cultural events happening in that school. I and Rijul came 2nd in Corel Draw event, where we had to draw Phevos and Athena , the Olympic 2004 mascots. Colouring wasn’t possible due to some defect in Corel Draw. I don’t know about Digvijay’s gaming event though. Tomorrow Digital Imaging, WebD and Software Display is taking place. Best of Luck to the participants!

In the midst of Exun, I lost track of Spectrum 2004 at BTS.

Now, we don’t seem to have anyone for web designing as it’s not an “on the spot” event and no one was able to make a website beforehand. For the rest of the events:

Corel Draw

Vansh

Rijul

Gaming

Digvijay

Digital Imaging

Sanchit

Abhijit

We don’t have any software display team also, so that’s sad. Come on, people. Buck up! Keep website templates ready for competitions and those who know VB or VC++, start making some kind of presentable software for SD competitions.

This list is final as far as I’m concerned. All the people mentioned here have to assemble in front of the Transport Office tomorrow morning at 7.30am because they will be going with the rest of the DPS team. Teacher Incharges, in case you need to contact them, are Suman Takru and Prema Pandey from the English Department.

All exun members are requested to attend the Pan Exun Meeting During Break on 3rd November 2004 in Computer Lab No 4.Coordinators please note and inform everybody

Maanick

Well as we all know Exun 2004 ended yesterday and was a big success. Needless to say was the contribution of All members who were present on both the days and also of all teachers and non-teaching staff

Thank You All

As for those who weren’t there, try and be there next time.

Although Exun was a success there were a few things missing.

The duties were a bit improperly decided in case of escorts

What we need to do from next time is assign some duties to the little ones after their escort job is done as escorting is just a morning affair

The ones who did a terrific job

Manas: i would say thats a great effort by someone in 9th to manage the whole gaming event. Hats off

All 12thies: They were all doing some kind of work so well theyre all great

All 11thies who were present did a great job with the registration and all

Dhruv and Suri with the web updates were truly efficient

Udit, this friend of mine never refused any work assigned to him

Akul: he is a sincere chap and never refuses work

Abhijit: this tall fellow is also quite a great person to be in exun especially when we have to put banners

Aayush, Vansh and the rest of the 9thy lot were also doing an exceptional job except for some whining here and there

The only 8thys i saw doing work were Saumya, Aviral and Diggi.

Rahul also did work but with too much of whining

Some incidents from exun

Nisheeth over the Walkie-Talkie says:” We need escorts, We need escorts, We need escorts, We need escorts, We need escorts, We need escorts,”

then he goes ” we have too many escorts, does anyone want any”

Basically for anything he needed, he repeated it till he got that thing so we had to switch off our walklie-talkies till then

Then we had Ankit W. who gave me the idea of making funny noises while anyone was saying anything so we had a fun time with that. I also started playing songs. We also heard “khaike Paan banaras wala”

Three cheers for Exun 2004 and 2005 here we come

I thank my dear colleagues who played very important role in smooth functioning during “the Big One”

Hema Jain, Mohitendra Dey, Ajith Kumar, Mukesh Nagpal, Suji Gopalan, Shalini Harisukh, Manisha Wadhera, Nandini Dasgupta, Sarika Kaushal,

Davis Mathew, Diny Mathew, Joseph, Anup, Shekhar,

Tiwari Ji, Vijay, Shankar, Makan and Mahesh

I feel each of them have contributed to make the Exun 2004 – a Big Success

Encouragements:

Most importantly, on behalf of Exun, I thank the Principal – Dr. (Mrs.) S. Chona for providing us support and a free platform to explore new horizons. I also thank the Vice Principal – Dr. Saini for inaugurating Exun 2004.

The chairman DPS Society – Mr. Narender Kumar has encouraged us by accepting our request and coming as Chief Guest during the Event.

The Vice President HCL – Mr. Rajender Kumar has also encouraged us by his presence during Concluding Ceremony of Exun 2004. We thank him for sponsoring “the Big One”.

was actually The Good One!!!

Well organised under leadership of Karan Misra & Maanick Nangia (the 2 Gems of batch of 2004-2005). I congratulate both of them for the BIG success of Exun 2004.

Karan has mentioned everyone’s contributions very rightly – I actually share the same views as him.

People have different level, caliber, style, potential, … and I think the most important what I expect from “Exunian” is “the right attitude” – I think that all of us have. So worry not if your name is not listed below (We love and care for each and every Exun member – each one of you are important to me)

But, think why the names missing – make it up for the next time.

The ingredients :

• Hearts full of warmth & brains full of Ideas
• Creativity paramount
• Zeal to work endlessly
• Ears for everyone
• Ongoing relationships… ever-growing thread with no knots
• Happy smiling faces

One can very well know the taste and flavour of the “Cuisine” Unlimited

The Big One!

So Long and Thanks for all the Paneer Tikka.

Exun 2004 was a certified success. I’m not thanking all the members for it, though – only the ones who showed up and actually worked. I’m going to be making individual references to people in general who I think helped Exun the most, in the order in which they come to my mind.

Shankar Sir

Believe it or not, but, without him, you would’ve had delays, cancellations, missing things and everything catastrophic that simply evaded your eyes because of this man who took care of it all. There are two insanely great things about him. First, he works a lot more than he’s supposed to. Second, he involves himself in your problem and “gets the job done�. There are very few people who can manage this, and for this I respect him and like him. (I don’t know his surname however)

Mukesh Sir

In Exun, you don’t need a microscope to tell who’s working the hardest. Firstly, this man single-handedly keeps track of everything, small and big. Most of the time, it’s the small things that matter more. Secondly, he has a quality that I like very much. Unlike a lot of our members, he doesn’t think that some task is too lowly for him. Whether you ask him to find you a stapler or you ask him to get you Oracle’s 9i software, for him, both of them are important jobs.

Maanick

Whatever people might say about him (regarding ‘Sleeping President’ and all), you should know that Maanick is a genuinely decent person, who was indispensable in Exun. It’s just that sometimes he forgets to take printouts (and thereby dishonours our motto).

Manas

I couldn’t come to see even a single round of any of the gaming competitions, and that wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t trust Manas with the job. He shows much more maturity, being in Class IX, than even a lot of his senior brethren and I should hope he becomes the President of Domain Square next year (that decision however rests with Sir). The fact that no grumbling people emerged from lab 6 is living proof of what I think must have been impeccable organization.

Ishita, Dhruv, Saumya, Abhishek, Bharat

What makes Exun different from the Interact Club is the fact that Exun does stuff, while the IC, even with three dozens ‘directors’ manages to achieve nothing meaningful. People like Ishita, Saumya, Bharat, Dhruv and Abhishek make this possible. Here, they are thanked and respected for doing exactly what they’re told without whining. A lot of people in Exun do work, but they also whine a lot, which makes them irritating. These people are Exun’s crown jewels who actually do a lot of work without making you shout and so, they should be recognized for this. I understand that as one becomes an older and more senior member of Exun, this ability to listen and work goes down rapidly as the ego gets bloated. These kind souls have suppressed that emotion. Dhruv must also be recognized especially for the ‘quality’ of work that he puts in.

Souvik, Nisheeth, Gursartaj

Souvik and Nisheeth come into the category of those who whine (sometimes a bit and sometimes a lot) but nonetheless they do a lot of work. Not just a lot, a WHOLE LOT of work. We need to have one eternal worrisome person like Souvik (the sky is falling down again!) to keep everything in check, a person like Nisheeth with a booming voice and large mass to control 30 people at a time at the registration desk and someone like Gudi to go around and keep everything in check, run extremely fast errands, sing songs and do jigs on the wireless network to keep everyone (but mostly himself) amused. Nisheeth should also be credited with doing a fair amount of organizing and coordinating even though he was never asked to. He believes in ‘We, not I’ and cares about the quality of things going on around him.

Rungta

Rungta is just quintessential to Exun. I can’t imagine Exun 2004 without Rungta and I don’t think anyone else can either. This quiet Head Programmer of ours doesn’t enjoy recruiting members but he does his job nonetheless, and when he does it, he does it well. Also, you really have to have a really big heart to actually come and offer your 15� IBM (thin, sleek, black) LCD screen to Exun for two whole days, knowing that it can possibly get stolen or broken.

Hema Ma’am

She simply completes Exun. Last year, we didn’t have her ‘touch’, the little nuances that miss Mukesh Sir’s eyes always stop short under her careful gaze.

Aviral, Digvijay

They whine just a bit, but they are essential for those little extremely critical messages that the tenthies and ninthies with their bloated egos, don’t want to send. Aviral and Digvijay, along with Saumya, were the fastest and most efficient runners, and were always ready for jobs.

Swati Tuteja

She is one of the quietest, sweetest and most-hardworking people in Exun. I don’t know what I can say more about her, except that she did anything and everything that she was asked to, and with aplomb.

Bhavya Khanna

He did his job just as well as he was expected to do it, with all the dude-like additions that accompany him inadvertently. Brilliant fellow, wonderful job!

Swati Gupta

Excellent girl! We can never have enough people like her in Exun. Intelligent, and most importantly, diligent.

Raman Khatri

A person who I think was genuinely concerned about doing his job, and doing it well. Hats off to “Khatri” at the Help Desk.

Gaurav Misra

A job well done regarding photography today (and general attitude towards life, the universe and everything); I think I had misjudged him earlier. Being out of Digex is probably the best for him, because I noticed a complete change of attitude (towards the positive side) while he was working at Exun, especially on the second day.

Gaurav Maken

I have completely changed my opinion about him. He’s a very nice person indeed, much more than he appears to be. Anyone who thinks negatively of him should have seen him at Exun. He always did what he was asked to, never said “no� and was more dedicated than some of our members also.

Vrinda Maheshwari

Thanks for showing up and helping me write the “report speech thingy� – couldn’t have done it without you at the time, as my mind was clouded with other stuff.

Joseph Sir

He is an extremely active and efficient person, not to mention extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. Most importantly, he always gets your job done.

Judges

A big THANK YOU to J. Apte, J. Jain, J. Rastogi, J. Mittal, J. Mittal, J. Mahajan, J. Mittal, CJ. Wadhwa, J. Gupta, J. Rangarajan, J. Singh, J. Kharbanda, J. “Accompanying J. Kharbanda”, and J. Behoora. A Panda wanted to judge Exun but because of geographical restrictions and low-speed connections, he couldn’t.

I can’t remember anything else to write right now; I had planned to write how Exun 2005 can be better, but that’ll be in another entry.

In the meanwhile Access 2004 is coming up, people please check the previous entry and post comments on it.
