I’ll try to keep this one short because I have an OOAD exam tomorrow and I haven’t really done anything.

Abhiyaan is Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering’s (Navi Mumbai) Technical cum Cultural Festival. I’ve not been attending for the past 2 years for different reasons but this year I had to, considering I was the event head of LAN gaming. We had over 165 entries for our event and that’s quite a lot considering not even the Technical Paper Presentation event, which is supposed to be the crown jewel of Abhiyaan drew that many entries despite what I believe was a Rs. 10,000 prize for each branch’s winner in that event (and there were 5 such branches I believe. Comps/IT, Electronics and Telecommunication, Instrumentation, Mechanical and Chemical). It was indeed hectic with 47 entries for NFS (an event I was in charge of).

Excuse the insanely ghastly time but I just completed my first resume about 10 minutes back. I just thought that if I can stay awake till 3:15 AM in the morning writing a resume, I can surely write a blog note to remind myself about this a few years down the line. This is where it all started. Your first resume is exactly 2 pages long, consists of 2 fonts in 3 different sizes using 3 styles of writing and is a 18,548 byte long docx file having 671 words (or so says Microsoft Office 2007 :P)

Just a note to future me reading this one, you didn’t have a crazy flash urge to write a resume 1 AM in the morning. You needed to have one for your mock interview scheduled at your college on Friday. Even though its only a mock interview, hope the mock panel doesn’t mock you and hope it actually gives you the mock job

Time to sleep and pull a rabbit out of the hat when I (hopefully miraculously) get up at 7AM in the morning for a 9:30 AM Microprocessors lecture. Thanks for wasting one and a half minute of your time that you’re probably never going to get back Be sure to waste another precious 30 seconds writing a bitching comment about this Round numbers are so much better than fractions
