DPS MUN 2006

So, another event is now officially over for me.. apart from exun that is
Our school has been organising DPS MUN since 2004 and I have participated in it since the same year, though I went for just one day in 2004.
My contribution in MUN has essentially involved providing Tech Support. Along with Dhruv, I have a lot of "masti" at MUN.
This year initially I had decided that I would be part of the conference and not just support staff and was very serious about the simulation and training programme but somewhere along the way lost interest. So anyways, I was USG for Information and Computer Services. Or CIS as Dhruv likes to call it.

We had a total of 7 people for CIS this year-
1. G
2. Dhruv
3. RG - Hes da man
4. Manas G
5. Kartikeya Ashthana
6. Sahil Bajaj
7. Kanika Singh

The first day was rather boring for us, as we got no work. Oh by the way, our work mostly includes typing out the draft resolutions for the delegates and providing any other kind of tech support required. So, the first day was mostly spent playing games on Sid's and RG's laptops. Sid has the PowerBook by the way(its a mac, dont ask). The highlights of the first day were-
1. RG's "mun"walk. Hes da man
2. Nobody recognizing me coz I was wearing a suit with a senior turban as Vibhu calls it. That was fun.
3. Mrs. Chona checking on us in the Business Center. Aashish Manchanda was playing Tribes 2 on RG's laptop when she opened the door to our room(Yes, we even had our own separate room) and Manchanda still did not realise. She saw him playing and commented, "Taking a break, eh". Yes, a break at 11:00 in the morning and the conference had just started at 1030.
4. OO.. and I totally forgot to mention. RG had a killer look. He came in a Black Scorpio(He rides in Style) with black tints, a black suit, completely set hair. and best of all, Black Shades. Total Mafia look.

Day 2 was a little bit better as we had some work to do. But, the delegates have horrible handwriting so it took us a while to understand what they had written in their resolutions. There was one such case where "drug" resembled "dung". Anyways, Our room got even cooler by Day 2. We decided to turn of the lights and I had my supercool JBL iPod speakers. We turned it into a mini theater. And of course, we played. By day 2, I got very good at Carmageddon. We smuggled 2 bottles of coke into our room coz the coke at IHC is too blaady expensive. Not a big deal, but the whole idea was just funny.

Day 3.
Again there wasnt too much work involved coz it was the last day, and most of the committees were trying their best to finish the topics. Dhruv, me and Adarsh had breakfast at All American Diner(AAD). My Chilli Dog was good. Dhruv's Chilli Double Burger was good. Adarsh's Vegetable Hoagie was a waste of money. And then after one hour Adarsh says,"Actually, it was good".
Anyways, Our MUN closing ceremony video didnt play coz well.. it didnt.
The closing ceremony was fine.
Tanya Puri won best delegate. Probably the only one from our school.
In kartikeya's words,"Humare school ka katta ho gayi".
And by the end of MUN kartikeya was just drunk.

MUN was the funnest ever this year specially coz we had fun people in CIS.

Other things at MUN this year include -
1. Dhruv putting a used Duracell battery in a glass of water
2. Ankit Srivastava not knowing where Cuba is. And then we made him believe that Cigar is the official currency of Cube. Basically, he said a lot of stupid stuff. But hes got the spirit to take it as a joke!
3. Our very intellectual conversation about Button Flys(Flies) vs Zippers.
  • Tanya says,"It hurts when things get stuck in it(Zippers)"(Shes obviously experienced the pain)
  • And Vibhu says,"Button Flys result in Ripples".

I cant remember anything else right now
