"This story only inspired to get the Coordinator post for DalalBull next year. No matter what happens or who coordinates the event, I will make sure next year, Dalal Bull gets the spotlight right from day one. I will write about it next year."
-Sujeetha (Myself) a year ago.
I am glad that I could get to coordinate the onsite event this year. This year's experience was the pinnacle of all my extracurricular activities. I am talking about Dalalbull, an event in Kurukshetra which is about simulation of stock market. There is both online and onsite event of Dalalbull. The online event was coordinated by shanketh, one of my classmate.I organized the onsite event. For the onsite, we had 5 organizers just like last year. 2 girls and 3 boys from same class. But this year it was from IT dept. Last year it was myself, usha, thanu, rajesh and pradep who did the organizing work. This year it was prathyusha, gayathri, ramki, rahul and ganesh. The work started by first reviewing our last year software, then fixed some bugs. The organizers this time did a wonderful job. The ultimate experience was the volunteer meet. Dalalbull, being an event which involves the maximum number of volunteers and the largest hall in college for venue, solely depends on volunteer's enthu for a good show. We arranged at 2 the meeeting in 111. But only after 2.30 some volunteers entered the hall. One person who I really should mention is dharani of second year computer science. This junior had super contacts and arranged like 100 volunteers(first and second years, both girls and boys) for the event in just one phone call(slightly exaggerated!). In the meet, I really understood the difficulty in making all 100 people listen to you. I understood the difficulites of the faculty. After the meet, I completely lost my voice but I gained confidence that I am still the same good old speaker who used to get prizes for debates and state level speech competitions. The hall 13 where the event was supposed to take place was just getting ready for the computer installation after the Contraption event. When my hostel curfew got over, my work still continued. Myself, kalpu and abi went to first year block and conducted an informal meeting there. Then finally on first day of the event, I heard as usual the night was a nightmare for the guys.
So the day started by first setting the computers, this time we had 30 systems like last year. Some juniors helped to set up the LAN to all computers. This time there was no problem with LAN wire at all. Thanks to vishnu and the juniors. I forgot to mention about some of my friends who helped me the most in conducting this event. Abi and kalpu spent their time with me by helping me in every aspect I could think of. The onsite event had a great help from thanumalayan. For record, he is not the coordinator, but off the record he is one of the coordinator. He helped me by staying in the hall the day before the event. Thanks to vicky for arranging the lunch at the hall.
My voice was completely out by the end of the day. Finally we had a successful event. No fight, no complaints.
