Last tuesday(july 4th) was the big day when we were supposed to present our POS tagger and chunker in national workshop on AI and come home richer by 4k. We had put in 2-3 days on the presentation and demo. All we had to do was just go there, blabber something, demo the system, collect the prize money,certificates and come back home. Simple.

Now, how can I get soo (un)lucky and have such an unadventurous day? last tuesday happened to be the 4th day of 5 day rainfall that mumbai experienced last week..man, did we have an adventurous day or what? Aniket has a well written account of the whole day on his blog.

That was written as a post on cse.mtech1 newsgroup, so iitb specific lingo may creep in here and there, just skip them.
