3rd February - Fabulous Friday !

18 days to go and TROIKA 2012 is already creating such ripples all over the festival calender that we sincerely hope the world doesn't see its end by drowing in those!

Today's highlight was the culmination of BOGGLE MANIA . The four day long event saw participants working on every possible lead that they got from the various images that served as the problem statements. Some very interesting replies made the moderators go about their jobs heartily. But it was way more heartening to see contestants putting in effort and be right on target.

The results for BOGGLE MANIA are as follows
Day 1 winner : Tushar Gupta
Day 2 winner : Vineet Agarwal
GRAND FINALE :  winner    : Dipesh Gogia
                               runner up : Sagar Dang

Meanwhile MIST continues to sweep people off their feet. The infectious event is becoming a cult already with participants possessing an irrepressible desire to work their way out of every trap. For once, we do think MIST makes Delhi's winters even more exciting (pun intended !).

2nd February.....

Inching closer towards grandeur, Team TROIKA is working its heart out at the moment. With each member putting in his/her best, TROIKA is all set to become one of the biggest things happening on the event calender this season.

MIST continues to be the showstealer with the best young brains across the country slogging it out amongst each other to win and satisfy their respective deserving egos. The moderators play the perfect naughty hosts hellbent on bringing presumably dormant brain cells to exhilerating life.

The day also saw the organising of Mini Todo En Uno. Four rounds (including prelims) were contested in total and the winning team got the chance to be fast tracked directly to the final stage of the main Todo En Uno event of TROIKA !

 

Also, after a lot of anticipation..finally the TROIKA banner was put up at the Clock Tower..

Undoubtedly, the SHOWSTOPPER! :D

Troika VIBES....

Days to go -> twenty, fun in store ->aplenty!

With Troika getting shape and prospects as bright as the noon sun, life at DTU campus is on a roll right now!

Yesterday's highlight was the kicking off of MIST amid huge fanfare. With questions that stare right at one's face in respectful mockery, participants are set for a tough yet exciting adventure throughout. Number of contestants is skyrocketing with 5000 participants knocking at their brain's cortices already and new ones adding with each passing minute.

Mini LUMOS was another event which was organised yesterday as a build up to the main LUMOS event of RADIX. The participants showcased their technical acumen in the form of their autonomous laser following robots. 

Through the events, the long awaited TROIKA vibes have finally been added to the DTU environment. Talk about vibes turning into vibrations!

ENVISION
Where the virtual unites with the real!
The very word emphasises the degree of creativity and innovation this event involves. The entire concept of creating your own software is quite intriguing. Not only does the event grant you an opportunity to discover the latent visionary in you but it also exposes you to a whole new level of competition and expertise. And when the best and innovative minds pit against each other, you can’t ask for anything better.

So what’s in store for the software geeks? !

Ingenuity – An event free from all rules and regulations. One has complete freedom to craft a
software out of one’s imagination. It is simply to gauge one’s creativity, daring and inventiveness.

Dexterity –Where you’ll have to design a software keeping in mind certain specifications. Yeah..so
it’s a more formal and “go by the rules” kind of an event.

BRING EXCELLENCE, CREATIVITY, AND INGENUITY TO YOUR CODING!







DESIGN PRO
The name speaks for itself. From animation to web designing , poster making to on-the spot billboard designing, you can bet this will be the ultimate test of your creative grits. What you'll need is not only the technical knowhow of softwares but also that creative bent of mind that gives you an edge above the rest.


It is said that “creativity is all about making mistakes and art is about knowing which ones to keep”. So this event allows and rewards you for the mistakes you make, the errors you commit and the weird yet innovative designs you come up with!!

Therefore if you are skilled with a dreamy mind and have the will to learn and commit errors, this one's surely your cup of tea.

So what are you waiting for?!!

Come with your wacky ideas and paint the town in any color you desire!!

ETHER AVATAR

(..HEAVY word :P)

The very first thought that comes to mind…………

Ethers feature C-O-C linkage defined by a bond angle of about 104.5°. Yeah yeah, dear old Chemistry. :D

But in TROIKA, the event not only provides a platform for those who love to flaunt their geekiness(as they do in college for the whole year ;)) but also for the mango people to prove their prowess. All that is required is knowledge (which not at all refers to what one has crammed from their books so far). No need to be the book worm or the teachers' eye candy to win this quiz…just knowledge in the fields you choose will do.

So….get ready to face challenge!

Ever got beaten at your own game?

 

TODO EN UNO

The first thought that undoubtedly comes to mind (and surely everyone's) is what does ”todo en Uno” actually mean…!!!

It means ALL IN ONE in Spanish (courtesy Google translator :D).

A quiz with all possible puzzles, codes, logical reasoning……it has all recipes for sending your grey cells tick-tocking all the way!

For people who don’t believe in bookish knowledge, this one event appears appealing for the only prior knowledge required is how to test your mind to its limits!

The rule is simple. You are given the toughest problems and you got one of your simple pens and sharp brains to show how good you are when it comes to every code possible in this whole world…. 

The search for the 'Jack of all Trades' is ON!

 

Meetings...Meetings...Meetings....and a whole lot of fun!!

CORPO meeting for IEEE at 5 pm in TW1GF1…Even those without contacts can come.’, read the inbox of the first years in the corpo team . So finally there was an opportunity for people to build company contacts. The meeting started with Aseem sir highlighting the importance points for the team. Then they were taught the golden rules that the seniors had framed from personal experience. :P

And after some time ..our dear chairman took the 'gyan baantne ki kaksha' upon himself. The meeting ended on the note: ”So, all of you start looking for contacts…we are sure you will find them”. And this time too, more than a few were left wondering, ”karna kya hai???”

A meeting was held on Friday for the TROIKA '12 Publications team members...called by our sweet team head Anantika ma'am. We were basically 'enlightened' about our role during the event...and were also allowed the liberty to freely take digs at our seniors (*Devilish Grin*)... :P

But, we love you dear sirs and ma'ams!!! :D

And where we are concerned, TROIKA is going to see two major publications: the annual magazine 'TRIGGER' containing the details of all events in TROIKA, and the TTT, which is where the happening gossip of all the 'masti' in TROIKA will be contained.

As the fun continues unabated, and everyone is working hard towards a single point agenda of achieving 'FEEL', TrOiKa is the ultimate amalgam of professionalism and AWESOMENESS!! :D

Hoping to have loads to report,

Sincerely

The Publications Team! :D
