Industrial Conclave, Me & My friends.......

Techniche'11 saw the first successful conduction of Industrial Conclave. I think it's time something was put in black and white(since no one else was doing it....) to commemorate the awesome team that we were(& are), a testimony to the infinite efforts we put in it.....conceptualizing and building it from scratch, the numerous setbacks encountered, the jubilance and the uncountable sacrifices that had to be made. During the process, I made some excellent friends.....friends to stick by.....

Cheers to the team.....

Organisers
1. Shashank Shekhar
2. Vasu Raj
3. Anshul
4. Minal
5. Rishika

10. & me

Also, convener Ankit Khemka & Events head Ashwin Chandra.....whose audacity led to the event in the first place....

The new team for the Industrial Conclave '12 is soon going to be formed. Some of us will leave the team and will move onto other things....but whatever/wherever it shall be...our hearts shall forever bleed for TIC...

Good Wishes to the new team & may you achieve much more than we did....

To the best team in Techniche '11..................

Starting of my Project named 'Doing a Project'

Techniche ended and a feeling of idleness began to set in. So, I along with my 2 other friends, Ashwik Battu and Pritam Sharma approached Dr. Amit Kumar(assist. prof CL) to ask him if he could guide us in any project. Currently in 3rd semester and having negligible amount of Chemical Engineering knowledge within us, he was a little reluctant. Questioning us .... why we wanted to do a project and what we wanted in the project, etc, etc ?....Inside my head I had the perfect answer..."I wanted a project because I had no other job after techniche '11. Culturally, I am a big ZERO and neither am I keen on sports...so total villa...Give us anything to do as long as I could add it to my CV"....Good sense prevailed and my friends said some crap about learning more about ChemE and things like that...while I kept mum(smart me !).
Finally, he agreed to let us work on some theoritical thermodynamics....calculating dew,bubble points etc using different models in liquid-vapour equilibrium(or something similar). He gave us a few things to read, on completion of which some real life examples are to follow...Excited but also a little scared...cause some 3rd sem students also started working on it last year but left it halfway .... apparently it was not easy....
