The end of month is here and we just realised how far we have actually come.
From a time when we didn't even know what the name of the event should be (most people don't know where Orion is in the sky)... we have reached a position where we have enough stuff to fill 10 volumes of encyclopedic happenings just for Orion.
Its been a long long journey. Like when we arrived from our holidays and decided to create Orion 2010 over coffee and samosas, to now when coffee and samosas have become staple since meals are a luxury.
A few guys in the team have not attended a single class for so long, the batch welcome's them with folded arms and the professor looks at them with suspicion (new guy...or old guy with plastic surgery?)
We have come far!

Orion 2010 - is feeling hungry!
Our baby Orion 2010 is feeling very hungry.
Is feeling hungry by the day and needs more food i.e. cash. Though initially set to grown into a small 4.5 lakh toddler it looks like it will become a 20 lakh jaggernaut.
And so we are now out to hunt... with nothing more than great will, a strong spirit and the support of some 4000 odd alumni, students and faculty.
Wish us luck!

Orion 2010 - back online!
Looks like we will be getting the website online soon!
And I bet you, the graphics guys have come out with something really good.
All these days to sweat, work and constant key crunching will now bear result.
GENTLEMEN! You may take your bows.... and a bath for heaven's sake!

What a tough day!
Boy did we guys have a tough day.
A couple of million meetings with a couple of million coffees.
Our systems have been deprived of sleep and sanity... ok maybe the sanity did not exist. But sleep... is something we all miss.
Quite a lot of work was done, a few success and a few let-downs. But the fact that we are working for something much bigger than ourselves, keeps us going a little further each day.
We have discovered more about ourselves, our team mates and the big bad world than any other case study in the world can simulate.
Looks like Orion 2010 is paying off... for some of us!

Our Internal communications Team - Orion 2010
And now for the most powerful Duo, the likes of which, SIMS is yet to see.
These guys are the real rockstars of Orion 2010, the guys who manage all the crazy amounts of live real time data, lists, calls, mailings and basically anything that lesser mortals feel incapable of.
Presenting
Anupreet Singh - A guy with the smile and spirit to have us unilaterally name him "Happy" though lately the sobriquet "The Smiling Sardar" seems apt. Beware of the smile - it hides behind it a though professional. A guy who brightens and giggles the place up effortlessly, one knows work is done if it's been given to Anupreet.
Sharon Chandy - They say that if you were the only one dying of thirst in the desert and decided to write a letter to your loved ones, you could expect a tap on your shoulder from someone who might just say "I think that sentence requires a comma over there". That someone will be Sharon Chandy. With professional standards that can only be matched by a thorough bred, he brings with him quality years of experience which are badly needed.

Happy Republic Day
Hey guys... Team Orion wishes you all a very Happy Republic Day.
We celebrated ours with the National Anthem, the Flag Hoisting ceremony and finally with cheese croissants, pancakes, mushroom and cheese omelettes as well as some great coffee.
Not very Indian, you may say about our choice of food, but we assure you that our appetite was as Indian as it can be.

Orion 2010 - Logistics Team
We just formed a very talented team of guys to do the dirtiest work possible for Orion 2010.
The Logistics Team.
Akanksha Sharma - The tiniest chick on campus is by far the biggest terror when it come to work! A real slave driver.
Kartik Jha - The fastest, smoothest talker in the kingdom of the fast & smooth talk. This guy plays with event logistics like he plays with words.
Kapil Satish Mehta - "The guy" when it come to getting any work done on campus. From your tap water to your tap beer, he can get it all done. A real cucumber cool fella.

Change of name - Part 2
The HR guys caught us near a really dark alley and brandished the most fearful weapon of all... a very fat book on HR.
They wern't too happy about their event getting a name change. Apparently they felt HR can never be connected to MIND GAMES. Had it not been for the big fat book we would have giggled ourselves crazy.
Anyway after we were released, we came up with new name. And somehow the name just seems better for the crazy HR game made by the equally crazy HR guys.
The Interpreters.
Now if you may excuse us, we need to dress our wounds from last night.
