Back from the go-down of quilts

ICOSAL 9 at Patiala became a memorable international seminar in the country. The adventure began as we started our journey with the University team (the Punjabi Academy sent a car for our University,it reached at midnight as the driver lost his way!!!!

We were accommodated in an abandoned University flat which was being used as the go-down of quilts :-D

The presentation was not a disaster, as I could not sleep completely during the presentation (instead, I was in a dream-like state)as my head was aching in terrible cold.


Interesting findings from the conference:
1. During the inaugural session, there were turbans of 24 different colours!
2. Quote of the seminar: 'We will not allow you to ask more question, gentleman'- the Chairperson of the session of Morphology.:-D
3. In the abstract book, two abstracts were punched together
4. The best paper: 'Linguistics Analysis of the titles of Tamil Cinemas' :-D


Shall wait for the next ICOSAL, also wait for your feedbacks.
