Cressida 2k7 was the much awaited event since i heard something about it during 2004. I had an opportunity to participate in it. Marc was the one who wanted to go there in the first place, but he didn’t turn up due to rain,Lol. I had all things planned up and then took one of my friend Vetri for the Event, while Adi accompanied me complaining that he was hardly prepared for his exam.I had told my dad to drop us at Guindy, then we took the train and travelled. We all reached SRM, ate morning breakfast at his canteen, by then it was already getting late for Adi and he left. Now Myself and Vetri were ready to be in action. We really went so early that the place was so quite, i thought no one turned up for the event.
We were directed to the Auditorium which was located in some other street. After all the speech and stuff, Now came back to the Registration counter and saw at least 1500 participants waiting to get their id’s ready. As usual i got the way and space and managed to get to the first in minutes, but stood there for 45mins without getting myself registered. The Registration process was poorly planned for such a crowd and those females writing our info were really slow(felt like at least kicking them once). Then got the id finally from a guy and managed to enter two competitions and finished it. Even to enter the room allotted for us was a tedious task with atleast 10 people trying to push me around(What the heck!).,

Wat we did : Apart from attending the competitions we also managed to get our hands on the Library computers, books and computers in the browsing section. Then slept at the lawn ,ate briyani, visited classes , talked to SRM students as if we were one among them, watching students activities, drank water, roamed around sometime,listening to radio,talking on the phone. helping the students participants in their Treasure hunt competition., Managed to do much more that might stay on in my memory ! ha ha..

Lost both the competitions in the finals with 1 point and 2 points in Web designing and hardware assembling.

The End… (i’ll update it later, thanks)
