Okay ...
First, the bad news ...
We didn't make it to the final 6 teams of the Software Design of the Imagine Cup ...
It's okay ...
I think our presentation was the best we had given till now and the software was also working properly ...
Only, the idea didnt click well with all the other international judges ...
I'm happy for the fact that we atleast made it all the way here ... and got to present our solution ...
Would have been really depressed if we had got stuck up at Mumbai itself ...
On the bright side, we still have one year to go ... and besides, winning World two years in a row would be kinda hard anyways ...
So, we'll just win it next year ... promise ...
The other teams to make it were Japan, China, Greece, Slovenia, Russia and one another team which I don't kinda remember now ...
I seriously have no idea what the other solutions are ... so, I have no basis for comparison ... but we'll come to know about it tomorrow ...
Anyways, the entire ceremony was like an Academy Award dinner kinda thing ...
We had round table reservations and all the short films were shown on the screen and we had a 9 course "Vegetarian" Japanese dinner ... which honestly, I could not consume ...
Nothing personal ... but except the noodles, which I ate with a pair of chop sticks for the first time ( Yay !!! ), couldnt think of eating anything else ...
Most of the veggie stuff ... was ... just bamboos ... It tastest okay ... no taste actually ... something like boiled wood ...
Anyways, as soon as the entire thing got over, we hit the Indian restaurant and packed some desi khana ...
Thats all for tonight ... just before I push off ... picture of the day ... clap, clap, clap !!!
We'll hopefully be riding that thing tomorrow ...
Comes with its own Roller Coaster ...
Me thinks, Microsoft India is going to pick up the tab on this ;)

Don't Worry, Saurabh. You made it to the Finals. That itself is really really Coooool. Keep Going and Next Year, India would surely Win it, with You.
cheer up dude... gr8 efforts.
I'm glad your team could reach Japan to compete. And I'm sure you'd have learnt a lot this time. You still have another chance, all the very best for the Imagine Cup next year :)
Congrats! Making it to the Global Finals itself is an achievement.
All the best for the next IC!
