Neat Whiskey, Dirty Socks - Winner Declared!

Like every thing good, NWDS '09 has come to an end. In terms of user involvement, this event has been a thrilling experience. Such has been the participation and involvement of college students and alumni, that we are already considering more such college focussed events.
We launched this event with a vision to bring the latent college talent to the fore, and to serve as a platform for the alumni to re-connnect with their college and re-live the days gone by.
As we sign off, we are happy that we were able to achieve quite a part of this. There is a special prize of Rs.5000 this time for a college song, sponsored by a group of senior students who thought that the song reminded them of the past. The college is no other than DA-IICT, and the song is "Open Doors" by HTB. Congratulations guys, you rock! We hope to see more of such generous contributions in future editions of NWDS.
And after having tested your patience enough, we now come to declaring the winner. Needless to say, it was a close call between the colleges. We did not involve a celebrity judge this time to let the enormous college enthusiasm solely decide the winner.
It gives us immense pleasure to announce that the winner of Neat Whiskey, Dirty Socks '09 is Symbiosis Pune, and the Best College Song 2009 is "Confusion" by Prosody.
Congratulations guys, you win a cash prize of Rs.10,000!!!Prosody - Symbiosis, Pune
