Three Festivals

Spree 2010 just got over. Truly pure sport. Massive participation (Noida? Chennai? Sri Nagar? We had them all), and some great matches. People even commented about the awesome grounds we have. All we need now are some flood lights on the cricket ground (built with help from BCCI) and the football field (built with help from the Salgaocar Sports Club). We had international players coming in for exhibit matches in various games/sports. And after a hectic day, something to relax.

And this was not the case with just Spree. We’ve had amazing fests this year: Waves (the cultural fest), Quark (the technical fest) and now, Spree (the sports fest).

Rewind to last year: The fests were okay okay. Nothing spectacular. One of them was particular bad. The 2007 batch has successfully pulled these fests to new heights. With a total worth of almost 1 Crore rupees, these fests have set a new benchmark for the entire BITS-Pilani university network.

I’ll be here to witness each of these fests for one last time in the next academic year. Let see what the 2008 batch does with what we’ve given them.

Waves Summer ’09

Waves ’09 wrapped up a few days back. Waves this year was actually a lot better than Quark… with participants coming from Punjab, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and lots of other places. Plus, I had a great time showing magic to people (for no reason)… dusting off the skills after almost an year and a half.

Specials at Waves included performances by Semi-pro rock/metal bands at the biggest competition of its kind in the region (Sea rock), a live performance by Indian Ocean, and DJ Ivan (yes, THE Ivan).

Turning up the heat: Waves ’09

waves_09

Waves ’09 is almost round the corner. Preparations are at its maximum. People setting up trusses and posters. Its overall budget exceeds any previous fest ever in the history (umm.. history?) of BITS-Pilani, Goa Campus… a whopping 26 lakhs. It might not be as great as Mood Indigo or Saarang, but well the Goa campus is upto something… everyone beware :D

And yet another change in the “show” of the campus (after changing ID numbers): names of hostels have been changed. The short, sweet and highly descrptive “CH-2″ has been changed into a long, vague, and useless “Hercules”, the constellation. We had to choose one. We thought of others, like Vela, etc. But well, finally chose “Hercules”.
