Hi friends.
Time for a new post. People want it interesting. What to give, what to give, what is most interesting, what will people enjoy the most.....oh yes, let me do this one on fests, I think people will like it.
So here is a new post about the most awaited time for any student of any college, i.e. fest time. This is a time when whole college environment changes drastically to a positive environment of fun and excitement and even the most studious students leave their rooms to enjoy the awesome change outside (I guess IITs are different as I was still able to spot 2 students; rather maggus; mugging in their rooms!!). Talking of IIT, most of them hold 2 fests, one is cultural fest (such as Spring Fest of IITKGP, Mood Indigo of IIT Bombay) and other is technical fest (such as Techfest of IIT Bombay, Kshitij of IITKGP, for fests of other IITs; click the link given at the bottom). There are so so many activities going on during fests of IIT that sometimes we actually want to attend many of them at the same time :)
This year I had my first technical fest Kshitij from 21-24 Jan which is claimed to be Asia's largest technical fest of any college :) (Proud to be KGPian). But a fest with only technical events will be boring (as we lack technical knowledge :P), so we had a few cultural mega-shows in this fest (They actually kept the fest alive for us). For most of the first years, Kshitij is just observatory as they are still to learn something. But still some of the first year students participated in some events as they had knowledge beforehand and also outperformed (my roomie Ranjith participated and won second prize with Rs 15000 in a team of 4). Mostly students coming from outside are interested in it.
Events of Kshitij included Guest Lectures by eminent personalities due to which DC Avanti came to our college for display! (I was so excited for its just one look and it happened so well in Kshitij that I even clicked a selfie with it! I am greatly thankful to it :)) There was an event of robowars in which heavy robots fought with each other (hilarious to watch those heavy metal innovations fight in a transparent glass cage!), Code-o-Soccer in which my roomie participated (I personally liked this as this fetched me a pizza treat from my roomie :P). An exhibition of robots was also organised which showed a head band which manipulated our brain reactions, a robot which showed various dance moves, Indian robots which did push-ups and head-stand! The workshops included workshop by Google, Microsoft and other top companies. The cultural events were held in an open air theater which was new and pleasant for me, shows included a comedy show by East India Comedy (it was fabulous, was unable to control my laughter on their puns), a dance performance, a show by electric violinist from UK and a magic show by the finalists of America's Got Talent! All were just superb to watch :)
Well that's all for my experience of technical fest which proved to be a great time for me.
