V for Vendetta Against Technology!!


THE HINDU, 22nd march, 2006
"During the academic summit launched to kick off the initiative, about 30 teams from various colleges presented papers on insurance-related technology.
The judges shortlisted eight entries and graded them on content and presentation skills.
The winners, Mohamed Ibrahim and Mohamed Kabiruddin, third year computer science students from Crescent Engineering College, had come up with an innovative solution for speeding up the verification process in accident detection.
"We wanted to bring in new technology that will revolutionise the insurance sector," said Kabiruddin.
"The longest process is the verification. It takes days to get back the money," Ibrahim added.
The students proposed the use of GSM technology used in mobile phones to facilitate on-the-spot verification."

FAREFEST '06



I can proudly say that i was a part of the team who was involved in makin FAREFEST 2006 a fantastic show! Guyz, we bet it right, nobody would have thrown a party so big for their seniors at college. Doint it right from the ground work of planning and preparations, the blog, the searching for places...never expected that we would have so very few hurdles in a race which seemed a lot challenging! Anyways, they say when the going gets tough the tough gets going... And it was all perfect and a happy-go-lucky feeling this side, all the time!
