Pragyan
Hey Algae.. What is it Pragyan? inquired Ganesh on gmail as I had my Status message as Pragyan 2009.
Since its holiday time, I have loads of time to read blogs, to write blogs, and besides other things, to keep in touch with old friends.
Our Tech Fest…. I replied.
Reminds me of my college days, continued Ganesh, an 2008 pass-out of a prestigious private college in Tamil Nadu. I was a part of the Guest Lecture Team in my college Techfest. Our techfest meant more to us than anything else.
I could see this guy lost in his old days. I could feel the pride in his eyes.
Have a Look at the Pragyan 2009 website, I said as I typed www.pragyan.org
After a few minutes,
Hey, Do you people outsource this website work? asked Ganesh.
Now, It was my turn to feel proud. It was the time to declare with a smiley that it was our Techfest. OURS. We did every bit of it ourselves. The posters. The Website. The Videos. Everything. And we did it like professionals. I didn’t say much.
All I said was, we do it on our own. 
In fact, even I’m partly involved in it.
Oh! So you did it? he was surprised.
Not just me. We work as a big team. Almost every NITTian is involved in the organization of Pragyan.
He wasn’t in a mood to project his techfest as something cooler than what Pragyan is. So he continued with the plain truth, Ah, Well… We used to outsource our website work. Even now I guess it is outsourced.
A sense of satisfaction replaced the feeling of pride. I felt more happy than proud to be a part of a culture which believed in the true meaning of a student fest. Students should make it work. The culture of Pragyan. Celebration of Technology..!!
Thats when the proud, satisfied and happy heart of mine wanted to shout - NITT Rocks…!!
