Late last night, I got a mail from Microsoft India about a small promotional video we (the Imagine Cup India finalists) have been working on. For those who don’t know, the contestants made a small video for the Imagine Cup to be used for promotion on college campuses around the country and may be elsewhere? Of course, any promotion that this event gets is good It’s an exceptional event and a great platform for students like me to do what they really like.

Last week, amongst our submissions, we did the necessary recordings for our video. I have a few pics of it that I’ll put up sometime. I’m wearing my Messenger Plus! Live Script Developer tee and yes, it was a coincidence. I came directly from college after a long day of submissions I haven’t received a copy of the video that fellow team mate, Noel cooked up but I’ll just get a copy next time I meet him

Getting back to the point, the email I got at 2:06 AM today had the Imagine Cup ‘08 Anthem attached. I must say, the music is pretty awesome I love it! Nice catchy music. Pretty good lyrics and nice vocals. Its totally theme based and switches between English and Hindi. It makes references to programming and the environment (the theme for this year’s competition). At first, some of the former seemed funny but honestly, the song overall is great. I’d like to know the guys who actually sung the song I presume this song is going to be played at the finals in Bangalore in a few weeks time A job well done. This is labeled as a premix so I’d love to see the end result along with the other things they are planning
I don’t really mind putting it up for download along with some of the pictures we took the other day but I’m not sure I’m allowed to share the former and as for the latter, I prefer doing so with all the pics from that day

My tickets are already here Also, my vivas are still going on! So back to studies and then to continue with IC work
