We could successfully conduct the Pre-Mini App Days session yesterday, July 28th 2013. The event was basically aimed for the registered Amrita participants and the new FOSS members in order to introduce them to looks and style of HTML and CSS, so that they could get an edge over others in the upcoming main App Days (04th August). The event started with Aditya's session on HTML, followed by Durga on CSS and an afternoon session on codeacademy. The participants were introduced into the Firefox OS interface and writing apps using HTML, CSS and Javascript on the evening session by Tina and myself. The event concluded with a roughly 45 mins hackathon, in which participants were asked to build up a simple BMI calculator, which many could finish, earning them goodies :)

The Azheekal Trip
The Azheekal beach is located about 15 minutes to the North of the Amritapuri Ashram,Kollam, and when the FOSS Entertainment team, prepared a plan to visit there, as part of Take-A-Break program during the Vacations, we never expected this much fun. We had been planning for this for a while, and it all took place on June 29th Evening.
We left from the Ashram about 5 in the evening, after our tea, about 8 of us, with our faculty in charge and our dear Bithin from Amrita Cyber Security. We invited our Java instructor from Google, Sandeep Ghuman, who was really bit tired after his Panch-Karmas in his early twenties,and his Dutch friend, Mathewlls (as I heard it). Managing such a team was a bit difficult for our in charge, and we understood the same, keeping ourself in our best.
We waited a lot for a bus, which never came, and had to finally go by two Auto's, as the place was near. Being a resident of the Ashram for a year, I had went to the place already, the second day I reached here, and the feelings were mixed.
Introducing Azheekal, the place is famous for its walk-through of about at least 200 metres into the ferocious sea. Ferocious in the sense, we had a Tsunami, hitting a couple of years before. The walk is serene, specially for the calm river on your right side and the waves of the ocean on your left side. It attracts a lot of tourists, and little of native people, as it's a not so uncommon place in Kerala. All we want was an evening out, and we had it.
