NITTFEST 08


Everywhere the internal fight is more gruesome and valiant, and the spirit of the warriors is unquestionably high. Our inter-departmental cultural, art and literary fest NITTFEST was no different. It would not be an exaggeration to say all the teams put up a brilliant show.

I don’t want to glorify NITTFEST over here. I want to tell about its conduct. Our dept came third fighting all the irreversible mistakes committed, when too many steve bucknors got into the judging panel. Tell you what; anyone in Nitt would agree ours was the most unlucky dept. If things went by audience poll I am dead damn sure that we would have won hands down. One particular department (perhaps because they learn to communicate) seemed to have an exceptional channel of communication with the judges. The judges seemed to understand and admire every other thing these ppl did. Whatever it is, I don’t wanna write too much on this coz the spirit is still high out here.

In particular, our movie spoof, music, choreo deserved better treatment!! I bet the judges of spoof dint have a clue what Troy is. They also had no clue of what Trojan War is or for that matter who Amitabh Bacchan is… I saw those ppl laughing their heart out for our performance and staring blatantly out of place at the Hindi skit by chem tech. the result: no eee in any positions, chem tech gets a prize!!!! Choreo I don’t know what the hell happened to them. Archi was the only better team. How did ece get in from nowhere?? And what on earth got the two Sarang winners of my dept no prizes at our nittfest? Those judges at music show had no clue of western music… and there were many more of such decisions like the one at zen gardening.

At the end of the day, it’s fun all the way. It was fun before nittfest, no amount of indecisive judgments could mar our spirit during Nittfest, and what a celebration was that after Nittfest… such a wonderful team. Seniors and our batch, we had a wonderful communication. So many new friendships forged in these few weeks. It was a fest to remember for life. That’s the spirit of my dept.!!!

And yeah, my new avtar in marketing team was cool. First time marketing, it was fun convincing and negotiating with people, bossing around with the ppl at stall, and the satisfaction of finishing off all the money settlement today itself!

Overall, three days filled with fun! Lot learnt, many new friends. Sometimes it seems funny how a person seeing whom I wouldn’t have bothered to look at, has become too close in a matter of three days!!

Once again a spectacular show put up by my batch mates vk, pooch, sappai, abhi and the rest and our seniors in particular anand, vishwa, punit, shaan, bong, kutty, deepika, gulji,…hey the list will not end any soon..So let me stop with this…

And yes, to all Steve Bucknors out there, our dept will be set to face you all in next Nittfest!!!
