Last monday I gave my seminar...

Well I may remind you, in 7th sem, seminar credits only 1 credit points. If u r going to mess up everything in seminar, it hardly affects ur CGPA. But this affects a lot to ur pocket. U have to pay Rs 200/- to all those assholes listening/sleeping/gossiping during your presentation. If u really mess up the presentation, u may get a repeat and hence u have to again give the presentation.

Seminar started with all girls giving presentation one by one. Some gave about VPN, some about surface computing. Our branch topper presented optical camouflage(I can't even pronounce this term). I slept through out the presentation(I did a great favor by not gossiping). One of the girls also chose firewall(windows firewall) and her version of firewall was very unique and unlike other firewalls, it needed database(hmmmm...... ).

But boys were good about choosing topics. I found many of those informative. Stenography , web spoofing , Sandbox technology and CMS were nice ones.

At the end my turn came. Unfortunately I got a completely technical topic, Nmap. I prepared very hard. I read 2 big e books each of nearly 250 pages. I made a lot of experiments, took screen shots and finally made my slide show . Bhakta, Dina and Jari(Abinash) helped me a lot.
Abinash handled introduction and timing. It's because of him I god a very good introduction.
Bhakta did a lot of slide show modifications. My topic was really not suitable for 20 minute presentation. So I excluded all technical parts. now I am ready for my debuting (technical) seminar.

Finally I was standing before 70 students and 4 nearly dumb teachers. Some of my close friends making me feel comfortable. Cute faces were looking hostile. During their presentation, they were looking weird to me. During my presentation, I was looking weird to them(look how Newton's third law holds good when it comes human behavior) . My seminar started with trinity breaking into core system in The Matrix Reloaded and ended in answering to previously set up questions.

Now My seminar is over. i am happy.
