My first company technical festival!!!

Yesterday, on the 30th of January, 2010, a software company named Zensar organized what they called as the first ever technical festival - Zenspark 2010 for students by a software company. It was a fun filled event with a lot of real life tips given to students. However, this article is not intended as an advertisement of this event. But, it will state my experience of that day.

We reached their Kharadi campus at 9 in the morning. After a quick registration, we were led to their open air amphitheater for the opening ceremony. There were speeches by the MD of Zensar along with some other people. Then we went to the competition venue. Their buildings were named by the names of the mountains like Alps, Himalaya and Rockies. The entire campus was very aesthetically designed with a lot of greenery. The entire Zensar Team of Excellence(ToE) worked hard to conduct the events like Testing(the one I took part in), Debugging, Problem solving, PPT building and a host of other non-technical events like Mad Ads, Entrepreneurship showcase and photography. The competitions were awesome. Later, we had lunch in the airy cafeteria. We roamed around a bit in the campus. There were a lot of impromptu quizes going on and a lot of prizes being given.

A lot of colleges from in and around Pune had participated. There was a seminar on "Emerging trends in technology". In the evening , there was a prize distribution ceremony after which a band from the "Idea rocks India" competition started playing. The students and the organizers both let their hair down. All in all, it was a very good way to spend a Saturday which would have otherwise be spent at home mindlessly doing nothing.
