OSMOSIS 2006

OSMOSIS - "diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal" - meaning you get when you search for it.

Yes, it is a diffusion of knowledge, Technology in our case. A technical fest @ mindtree is called as Osmosis. This fest will be spread across for around 3 months. It started in October when I just joined. There were lots of competitions held through out this 3 months like paper presentation, patterns and lots to name it including daily quizs. Between it had Antaakshari aswell in its basket to add some flavour to the techies..

And today was the conclusion day for all these and was done in grand style. * * Today fest started at 9AM with the lighting of lamp and our chief guest was CIO of BurgerKing and the speaker was Jnanapeeta award winner Mr.U.R. AnanthMurthy.
* Later there was a morning refreshments.
* Pre lunch there were two session one for R&D Services n the other for IT Services on Technology Transformation.
* A rock band of MindTree played some beautiful instruments during lunch hr.
* Post lunch there was a panel discussion along with paper presentation by the winners parallely and a valedictory which formally ends our technical fest.

There were around 35 stalls throughout the day to share their their knowledge with the visitors. They had lots of competitions n gifts to give away to attract the visitors to thier stalls.

But now our technical was extended with cultural. There was a mindblowing contemparory dance by Abhinava Dance Academy who performed "OJOS" (means brightness) which was specially choreographed for MindTree(tha dha, raasaleela, nigaah, kadam kadam - theme of the dances) followed by a home performance again with a awesome contemporary dance (theme ocean).

one more point I noticed here was, no one was allowed in between any of the talks. Either we need to go and sit before the talk starts or will have to join for the next talk. This was done only to show courtesey to the speakers as they tell !!
