Rewinding to the last weekend of January 19th and 20th, 2024, IIIT Delhi hosted "Jashn-e-Odyssey 2024." I had the pleasure of being there, and now it's time to spill the beans on this fantastic experience. Here is all that happened:

There were many events taking place simultaneously, and in this post, I will be highlighting a few of them.
