Looking forward for TECHKRITI 08 and my first cubing Video

Having great time last year at Techkriti last year waiting for Techkriti '08. This time theme is Rubik's cube! Oh great this would have been my first wish! So what would be my role. So here is the call for all the cubers of India. Start practicing. If everything goes well you may see a cubing event in India hopefully WCA recognized.

Currently I am in contact with organizers of Rubik;s cube event's in US University's which have been recognized by WCA. One Miss Ambie Valdés says they didn't have any problem arranging it other than location. As per the recognition of WCA we would get it easily. It only requires a WCA delegate visit to the competition and there you have the official WCA Rubik's cube championship at IIT Kanpur!
But that was back in US of A. This is India! Will they be agreeing to come here? And supposing they agree, who will be paying for the delegate's trip. If it is us, then scooping out bucks worth up and down USA flight from Techkriti budget will be a great deal.

It has been 3 days and I haven't yet got any reply from WCA officials. Only info I have is from emails from Valdes and another Tim Reynnolds. Both of them say that getting WCA delegate visit is the only main thing. Everything else is trivial (as far as it seems now).
I have also mailed Ron van Bruchem and Tyson Mao who is the same person who taught Will Smith to solve cube for the famous movie Pursuit of Happyness.

And here is my first filemed Rubik's cube solve:

nopes. I use a little variate Fredrich Method. I dpnt solve 1st layer completely 1 corner is left. then do 3 middle layer edges. then 1st layer corner then 4th edge of 2nd layer. finally last layer.

Actually I waste much time in F2L. I need to improve on that. LL is quite good
