Today was the release of Oikonomikos 2004. (The annual magazine by the department of Economics Loyola College) Why was I so hyped up about it? Simple, I had done the layout. I wanted to know what everyone thought about my designs in the magazine. The layout had come out well atleast to my knowledge, yet I was no exemption to the tension that creeps up on every one. The function began with the prayer song (oh why don’t you just release the damn magazine) I simply couldn’t stand the tension. (The fun part is I of all people was so anxious) Then the magazine was released following the welcome address. I was filled with extreme joy because this was my first layout and it had been released (Finally a little drop of tension) Now the principal came out to speak he said, “I really love this magazine not only for its content but also for its layout” (wow Relax dude, I told myself) “It is of International Standards, I am really impressed.” (I had definitely made the principal jump in his seats) Honestly speaking I can’t stand critics!!!(Simple, They keep saying so many things about other peoples stuff but can’t come up with anything good themselves) It had been all praises from then on about the magazine and almost everyone made a special mention about the layout. (They made me stand up bow to everyone over and over again; oh I was starting to get fed up of it.) Then came one of the chief guests, Sivagami IAS who said everything is good in the magazine except why did you have to make all the pages gray in colour. It is hard to read you know( Women if you have a sight problem use glasses) Anyway the function got over and I had a ball of a time eating the special buffet lunch(mmmmmm delicious)prepared for the editorial team and crew who worked for the magazine.
Special thanks to my friends; Johnna who helped me in taking a few snaps for the magazine, and Surya who let me work at his place. (Especially when my mom kicked me out for doing too much of work, and said you need some rest.)
If I forgot to mention someone else in this please forgive me I owe all of you a gr8 deal. Thank a lot for all that you have done for me.
