Fests are Integral part of IITs Life ..!!!

Hi Fellas !!!

Its long very long since i put down my time to write a blog ... Admissions ... Placements ... Bahuth Busy ho gaya mein .... Hope the before line doesn't have any grammatical Hindi mistakes. Ok lets come to the point of discussion ... Fests... yes they are quite common and so frequent that one week or other with one department or other comes up with a fest... Most noted ones are 

  • Spring Fest - Asia's Largest Cultural fest
  • Kshitij - Asia's Largest Technical Fest
  • Saamanjasya - A business fest with Social Cause
  • Anoogoonj - The HR Fest 
  • Samudramanthan... the list goes on and on and on ... Each and every department celebrates its own fest. Boss do not forget this is the "Grand Old Daddy of IITs"
But one thing always wonders me why do these small kids(B.Techs) always tag this Asia's or World's Largest tag to every fest. But i couldn't stop myself writing this .. the way these kids co ordinate and organise ... Awesome is a small word. And here goes Spring fest... Chill Winter... Hot Gals... Non stop music... Celebrities...this time Vishal And Shekar... Rock bands ... Black and Band Competition ...Non stop dance ... hell lot of events.. food courts... 4 days of full Masti ... 


Next comes Kshitij .. this is a technical fest which happens just after one week of spring fest... This consists of eminent speakers and this time a fabulous Laser show and Dirt Biking(Cancelled at last moment) were organized with hundreds of students all over country filling the campus again for 4 days.


Saamanjasya .. this is VGSOMs fest but i was the media head over there. Fun part is going to kolkata for sponsorships and in particular to FM channels, News Papers, Facebook Handling, Taking interviews of guests.. Made some good friends with HRs who came as guests... Also MHRM organised Samvit quiz event .. Ofcourse I am the one handling it with help from Seniors(MHRM)... Point to be noted .. MHRM gals gave hand in between who are supposed to co ordinate with me ... The funniest thing is though they knew they did nothing not even coming to the fest they give gyaan all the time ... Unbearable god... Ok K K ... And the notable event is the sale and display of hand made products right from jewelry to show case items ... A fun filled and fantabulous experience of 45 days ... 


Of course 2010-11 MHRM Initiative of Anoogoonj - The HR fest ... Our department fest with case studies, Quizes.. Guest lectures... Dinners.. Stage Shows(Spectacular classical performance) immediately after 1 week of Saamanjasya... I am appointed i would say compelled to do the hospitality team ... Guess what ... Gals who gave hand in Saamanjasya are working here ... Hmm smiles again ... THe so called "Marriagebles are like small kids ... Name it "Department Love "... it went well me running here and there all the time to receive guests and outstation participants... Again got some new friends and ofcourse HR friends too... !!!

With all the above and added with department fests ... waiting for next academic year to bang in to experience the same .. taking off now ... And sneak peak of next post would be "My Winter Internship at PepsiCo... Stay Tuned"
