The Second Step..!

Second Semester. Another four months of fun and enjoyment.!! :)

College fests have become a must in a student’s life. A college campus without any cultural fest is like a body without soul..:P. Calling big sensational performers and Hunting for sponsors starts months before the event. After finalizing all the plans, finding the sponsors and conjuring them is the most prodigious task for the students as they bring the value addition to the event. Everyone around the campus tries to run an extra mile just for making their event memorable.

February was the month of the six-day mega techno-cultural fests in IET. Starting with the UDAAN(Forces) , AAKSHANK-(MRIDAKSH  and WAVEZ)(The college event) , KSCOPE (Abacus) and ending with the techno event PHEONIX. From the campaigning to the main event everything was very appropriately managed by the students.

Campaigning: Spreading the Word..!
Our campaigning started two weeks prior to the main event. Campaigning for the college event is very interesting as one gets to go to other colleges, tell students about the fest and  trying to gather maximum number of students to participate. It is seen that posters of the fest are put up at every joint where students hang out from canteens to the entrance of blocks in short anywhere and everywhere..:P

GSITS was our first destination. At first view it felt as if it was too like a private college where students sit in the boring lectures all the time during the college hours and appear in the campus only for the lunch break..:P Well jokes apart We met many different kinds of people in the same campus like the students without any sense of respect and just proposing a girl standing infront,:P  or  just trying to get our cell numbers and many more idiots like dat..:D Same was the case in Swami vivekanand or Truba. Students appeared in huge masses only during the lunch break which was certainly a big problem as nobody was then interested in listening any of such stuff. The most horrible crowd I encountered was of Holkar college .

The most awaited week finally was there. The cultural fest started with the Forces club’s UDAAN a two day event including many daytime events ,A DJ nite(washed away by the rains) and A Fantabulous concert of the AGNEE band(10^th Feb). A poster making competition marked the beginning, the competition was about bringing your ideas about UDAAN on a paper with colours. Though we couldn’t win :P but it became my first holi (with paint colours) :D.and finally It was an amazing experience to hear the AGNEE band LIVE.

AAKSHANK 2k13 was another successful two day college event which overcrowded the DAVV auditorium.  Dances, Plays ,the branch videos ,the fashion show each and every bit of it was worth watching. Sitting in the audi and hooting for your branch was the  total fun..:)

 KSCOPE : (Carnival of colours ) Kscope included daytime events like zorbing,paintball,Burma bridge,Gully Olympics,Bollywood Housie,Lan gaming,Seminars(One on Future Prospects like doing MBA). Managing any event is the most challenging part of a fest which we realized when my gang had to manage a very short event  named Bollywood housie. But finally with hard work it worked.:)

Finding the videoclips and especially editing them (:P) was the part we are going to remember forever.:D

Whether it was 15 th night war of strings (DEVOID rock band) Or 16th night Melophila (Gajendra verma's concert) Everything was worth attending.

The showers of rain troubled almost every night during this 6 day event but the IETians proved that even after working against odds they can make their event a glowing success.:) Today when I sit and think about those 6-7 days I feel like I completely lived every second of those days full of fun, entertainment and friendship..:)

The Annual Science and Technology Festival Phoenix 2k13 “The spirit to create, the brilliance to innovate, the ardor to achieve, the patience to discover, the diligence to instruct, and above all the zeal to be successful”.(Two day event).It included many workshops and seminars on Web Designing, Ethical Hacking, Robotics, Embedded Systems, PGP, Wireless Communication, Radio and TV broadcasting , brought competitions and quizzes with lot of prizes. A complete package of two day techno fun..:)

In the end it’s all about taking a well-deserved break from those boring lectures and these refreshing events certainly did that.:)

These were the months when Pages like IET confessions ,compliments, proposals,Insults were made and were completely overflooded with the posts. Many posts were damn controversial especially those which were posted on IET insults page..:P I just don’t know why people try to compliment or propose using these options and that too under anonymous name.:P..
The month of March was of the festival of colours Holi. The first college holi (and the first holi of my life) .Well it was played in a very wild manner Even with the mud. Definitely it would be one of the most memorable Holi for all of us..:) The only regret is that we couldn’t play holi with our seniors.Anyways the next year it would be a college holi and not a class holi..:D

This was ED sem and so most of the nights were spent in making those sheets and constantly chatting on phone even at midnight.:P What to say about faculties of this sem..? Some were over innocent while some tortured for the complete semester which brought a sense of terrorist nature inside me and I was forced to use AK47 in almost my every sentence..:P E block garden and the games played over there including truth and dare are still remembered.:P

So finally this semester ended with the end of our first year in college (1/4^th of our engineering life) and made us realize that ”Time flies away especially the bit that’s worth living..”!!
