Besides these some articles appeared in various net based and print magazines like Outlook Hindi. Also a lot of individuals and organizations contacted us regarding this. It was a really fast moving situation and it was good to be part of its dynamics and to be influencing it.

Another article appeared in Dainik Bhaskar though i am annoyed to see the junk mistakes that non - geek reporters do while writing an article on geek stuff. Other than Rediff almost all the other people messed upon some part or the other of it. The perfection and completeness of the articles was something missing.

In between i had a couple of interviews in local newspapers like Dainik Bhaskar and Hindustan Times so lot of people in my college knew me (not that they didnt know me before it, but now i was in the proclaimed geek category) and infact lot of people started envying me to some extent. But i was happy to see the juniors of mine being motivated to do things so that they can get the fame too (unaware of the fact the it was of no use as such). Some of these people are still maintaining the momentum to do the good work and i am happy to see that.

It was a good experience being interviewed about your work at such an young age. But i thought to myself several times, was the work that we did really all that deserving or was it just a stroke of luck on our part. Infact after seeing all the work that is going on sometimes i think there are more people who need to be brought into the limelight. But then i think probably it was a considerable effort considering that none of the students i see do such things. Anyhow, I guess ... its good to be talked about.
