2012 Mega Project

This post is about my final year project. It’s nothing “technical”.

 

We call ourselves “The A team”. Our project title is "vadf".Dont be stunned by reading the title. It’s been 7 weeks and I myself couldn’t figure out why the project title is so. I am digging very hard on it. Hopefully I will get it by the end of semester.

It was a group of 4 students.2 of them worked hard and other 2 hardly worked. We had everything in our project-a funky name, a secret face book group and off course a fantastic team.

In face book group we discussed all big stuffs existing in this small universe and nothing about project. We had a highly motivating image for our group. The group was called Project X because X was unknown. We had also applied for sponsorships. We are still waiting for their approval.

There was equal contribution by everyone.

-They called me a 'programming champ'. But my friends thought i was a Google champ. There is nothing more painful when people say "it’s not your own, it’s a Google product”. I used to curse Google more than cursing friends. I never took it seriously and always ignored them.Ignore the critics as they say.

-Our 2nd project member did everything except project.24 hours was not enough for him. His Google skills were amazing.He uses Google for all sorts of things. He can live without water but not without google. He downloaded all the hidden project related files available in internet. Sadly, none of them seemed to be useful so far.The project name was his contribution.It was he who started a secret group in facebook which we rarely visit.

-Our 3rd project member was a busy and a tired guy. He has mixed emotions. He was rajnikanth in programming. Students from other branches came for his help. He has great contacts. During project hours, he was physically present but mentally absent. Occasionally he visited our workplace and asked “hey guys what’s up... Any progress" and we always said "no”. He just wanted to show us that he was also a part of project.

-Our 4 th project member is a studious guy. He is a angry young man who never played angry birds. He is a perfect role model for all the students out there. He led the group like a real leader and we only didn’t salute him.I will not say anything much about him because he will kick me out of the group if i "praise" him.

It was not a difficult decision in choosing our group leader. It was during my childhood days i heard my teachers telling "rank 1 becomes the leader of the class”. There were three 8 pointers and one 9 pointer in our group. I am not a 9 pointer. So it was decided that 9 pointer will be the leader of the group. But now, we regret for it. Our 9 pointer makes us work a lot. I feel I work for him and not for the sake of completing the project.Neverthless; he was a driving force in our project.

We discussed about our project with most of the lecturers in our branch. Few lecturers said it’s a mega project and few said it’s a impossible project.But we were sachin tendulkars fan and always believed in "nothing is impossible” and moreover we were “The A team”..,,there is no plan B.We were determined to complete the project at any cost.., at any cost. Our first project evaluation went very smoothly and we were successful in impressing the panel. We got a lot of ideas from the lecturers.

We were very friendly with our project guide. He was an inspiration for us. It’s because of our lecturers constant guidance and support, we are able to achieve marvels.

One fine day we did something that no students had done before. It was a milestone. We got accolades from all the lecturers. There was a ray of hope. I told my friends "every cloud has a silver lining" and they said "OK bro., fine... We will see it at night".

Currently,We have stopped working on the project as our 1^st internals is in the coming week.

I wish everyone to come out with flying colours!!!!!!

      ----------------AFTER THREE HECTIC MONTHS------------------

22/05/2012 : the judgement day

"Hard work never goes in vain"

I am overwhelmed to say that we won the best project of 

the year award. It was a happy ending.We never expected a

 prize because there were many other good projects.All the

 credit goes to one of our group member,gk who did a

 exceptional presentation. 

Everyone got reasonable marks as well.But our  project 

leader got more marks than us and that was hurting (anyways

 he deserved it). Thanks to spm for all the cheap book

 bindings he did.He saved our money.Finally ..,,great work by

 

 sk and i wont praise much about myself. 

The project evaluation didnt go very well eventhough we were

 the best project winners.Everyone seemed to be satisfied

 with their marks.

 We also got a chance to  display our project in SRISHTI,a

 state level project exhibition event held in Sahyadri 

college,Mangalore. Our stay in the college for two days was 

tiring band filled with fun.We couldnt win a prize though..

 (Participation is more important than winning the prize )..

 I wish all my project mates to have a successful life ahead..
