Come Along To The First Ever ‘Delhi Geeks and Quizzers Meet’
Ankur Banerjee of Needlessly Messianic has come forward and decided that all the geeks, bloggers, techies and quizzers, who are spread all over Delhi should move their lazy asses from in front of their computers and come down to Connaught Place on 29th June, 2008, and have some fun. To eligible for the meet, you must be a geek, that is, in simple terms, you must have absolutely NO life. The meet is open for women too, but I highly doubt anybody other than Uma Damle would qualify for the event.
The point to be noted that there is no age limit for this meet, but the current crowd is from our batch, that is, geeks who have passed out from their schools in 2008, and are looking forward to join a college for further studies (or maybe not). So even though people of all age groups are invited, you may feel somewhat left-out if you are a 65 year old FORTRAN programmer sitting amongst ten 17 year olds who are playing with hacked Chinese phones with their custom Linux distros installed on them.
To register for the event, you need to have a Yahoo! account, so that you can add yourself to the ‘I’m Coming’ list over here.
Though Ankur hasn’t mentioned any official agenda for the meet, but I guess we’ll be talking about random stuff, discussing what we have in common (the tech side of our lives) and our future in college. Maybe we can plan and form some kind of a group which will organise such meets regularly to break the monotony of our very ‘geeky’ lives. If you want to come forward and suggest an idea or have an activity in mind (apart from watching a movie – has already been discussed) that you think we can take part in and have fun, you are most welcome to join us.
For any suggestions/queries, leave a comment on the official Yahoo! page for the meet, or contact Ankur.

Pssst.
Don’t tell nobody …
I’m not actually a Geek.

[...] They had a token system over there, people who were arriving had to go into a small room, enter their names into a register, take a token from the guy sitting over there, and move to the waiting hall, where token numbers were being called by serial. My token number was 155, so I had to wait for a long time before I was called. While I waited, I kept on staring at the poorly seat vacancy status, which was scrolling between different institutes with a set time interval. I also called Sneezy a few times, just to inquire how things were working out at the PDGQM. [...]
