When many of us went to engineering schools for our undergraduate studies many years ago, we were taught what one would now call 'arcane' (or is it 'archaic'?? may be both!) computer languages: Fortran, Pascal, Cobol and such .... and oh, of course - how could we forget BASIC!! JDKs and SDKs, platforms and frameworks and the -aases of the I, P or S kinds, have been myths to many of us and still continue to be so for some of us lesser mortals. So, it should not be surprising that to get this website running, adding Google analytics and making some changes to our Facebook page have been quite a journey. A big shout out to some of the UC students who have helped out in the process; also see the ISA post here!
We have updated our landing page with the pre-registration details as well as a "Register Now" link. This is also made available on the Cincinnati Durga Utsav 2014 facebook page under the CDU Registration tab. And you can always click on http://bit.ly/1pNaWz1 from anywhere and any device to get your registration going!
Speaking of registrations, as a non-profit organization our approach is to be able to cover the fixed & variable expenses of an event while providing the community an opportunity to immerse themselves in our traditions and cultures. Organizing the annual Durgotsav in Cincinnati for 6 consecutive years has given us a pretty good handle on cost structures. We also feel strongly that as a non-profit organization, we do not need you to pay through the roof, neither do we need preferential tiers of registration fees.
We want to welcome everyone to this annual event, and we have made it as easy and accessible as possible.
To be successful, we need participants to register ASAP, so that there is adequate time to plan and execute this mega event. The rates will go up in just about a fortnight and then will be even higher at the gate, so please take advantage of our low rates now!
Shifting gears, if you live in the region, you can treat yourself to some pandal-hopping over multiple weekends, but please do attend the one and only annual Durga Puja in Cincinnati. Email or call our Conveners, our Registration team members and / or any of your friends who have been to this wonderful local celebration. We look forward to seeing you, so please don't delay!
Meanwhile, we just retrieved this video from our CDU 2013 archives. As one would say - nothing succeeds like success. Enjoy!
