Zephyrix'07 Uruvaana kathai.......

It all started one month ago. We have planned to conduct this as a Mega Event. Since we are in our final year we wanted to make it. Even when we were in our II year we contributed to our department symposium. But last year we were not allowed to involve in our symposium activities......Kaalgal kattappatta Ottap panthaya veeran pol irunthom.....But this year our Hod Mam gave full freedom......She handed over the responsibility of conducting the entire event to us.
We listed 10 events and we formed the respective committees.

The next step is to name the event. We wanted to change the name that was given for the past 6 years. The name must express softness. So we started thinking.........The word "breeze" came to our mind.....But it so common.......The equivalent word for breeze "Zephyr" is catching. We added suffix and framed "ZEPHYRIX'07" after having a long discussion. The other names that were suggested are "ARMAGEDDON", "FUZORZ".

The name "Zephyrix" does not express challenge. So while designing the poster we added the
"Rubik's Cube" which expresses the challenge. The poster and the logo were desingned by our GFX committee.

For getting sponsors we formed a team and they tried their level best. The next step is to prepare the questions for the events. All the event members were very much involved and interested in making this event a grand success. So all the event organisers worked hard and gave ideas to conduct it in a different manner. We got guidance from the ssn college passed out students sorry friends. Each and every part was properly planned. Mahesh,Mama,Vijay took the in charge of Dumb-C event. Raja,Boopathi have taken care of the Ad-Zap event. Babbu and Samba were the organisers of the Quiz event. Me and Dhadi took the in charge of conducting the Debugging and the Programming event. Siddhu took care of the Gamming Event.

All of us had only one thing in our mind. That is this event must create a record in the history of Sairam. We set a target of 800 participants. Boopu gave ideas for the presentation. Each and every part of the event has been properly planned and arranged accordingly. Ramanathan took in charge of the printing work. Even the id cards were printed in a different manner. Myself and mahesh started marketing in orkut. All of us changed our profile name and photo.

Even the day before the event all the students were busy in their work. Many unforgettable incidents happened which i don't want to explain. Eventhough the organisers of Zephyrix'07 were working hard to make it as a mega event. This was the only thing in our mind for the past one month.
