Got the TARGET

It was around 3 O' clock in the evening. I was explaining about the Yii framework structure to Poorna. Suddenly sankalpa and Janitha came and said "ඒ ඉවරයි ඒ project list එක දාල ඒ ". I was wondered and was very keen to know whether we have got our first selection approved. We were thinking that there will be no chance of not getting the project which we bid 1st. But what a shame..! They have assigned the 2nd choice of ours; not the 1st selection. Sankalpa was bit angry and shouted at us and said that we should go and talk to the lecturers. But I and Janitha was on a completely different idea. We two said that we should do what they have allocated for us, it is not our duty complaining about the allocations. At that moment poorna was scared like always and was silent :p

However we got to know that two other groups too have been given our project title. We were thinking that why they have done that. After having a small discussion with the group members, we decided to go and meet the allocated supervisor for our team. After meeting her, she told that our client is not technically educated enough so that we have to question him and gather the requirements. And she gave us some excel sheets and a word document which has been sent by the client. She said that we will have to complete the website in the 1st semester and they are expecting something like mobile app in the 2nd semester. And more importantly she told that they recommend PHP as the technology. It was our expectation too to do the project using PHP. (But unfortunately we cannot use PHP to develop stand alone apps ;) ) Yes...! Later we came to know that the client is not expecting a website..! It is just a desktop application. You can know further details about the client and the 1st meeting with the client in future posts.

After all, that day we came home and studied the documents which has been sent by the client. At the first moment we were scared to death as it was filled with hard calculations, formulas and accounting ( which I hate the most!).

We thought that this project has allocated for three teams as It is a hard one. Anyway we made up our minds to accept the challenge and went to sleep with the intention of meeting the client as soon as possible..! And we did that. Next post will tell you that story. It may be the funniest part of all... ;) See you soon..
