The first major cultural attraction of the new academic session, the first yearites dance competition, was held on the 30th of August, 2005. Usually one of the biggest hits in the IT calendar; it was no different this time around. The jam packed G – 11 was rocking all evening with the audience too swaying to the music.
Scouts looking out for dancers would have been quite impressed with the quality of performance. In reality, it was just the fruit of hard work that had been put in by first yearites (rehearsals went on till late in the night) and their mentors comprising their seniors. The centre of activity was undoubtedly the girls hostel, with pretty much all the first and second yearites residing there lending an active hand towards the successful conduct of the event.
The results were however along predictable lines, with Chemical engineering students continuing their stranglehold over theatre as well as cultural events by bagging the top honours in the Group Dance. The importance of the ‘C’ factor was not missed out with Ceramics and Computer Science sharing other top spoils. At the end of it all, there were the customary allegations of bias, but, even that couldn’t drown the spirit of the occasion as everyone joined hands and had a real ball. All in all, it was a day to chill out and enjoy.
Next up, is the FACHHA skit competition.
