Edition 41

'TIS THE FEST SEASON
Pratik Anand, 1st Year, COE
A window of sunlight dappling on my face
brought about a sense of urgency. Comfortably
uncomfortable after the winters, I realized that
this was not the soft gleam of early morning in the
spring - this was the aureate precursor to noon. I
needed to rush to college.
The throbbing Open-Air Theater in the fest was
something unprecedented to me. Anywhere one’s
eyes went, there was a colorful crowd continually
rejoicing. Deluges of people flooded around,
chattering and squealing and taking pictures. It
is a strange concept. Lively moments captured
and made permanent. Permanent into these
photographs, when there could be an eternity of
these present moments- a band of friends meeting
after months. The nerdy videogamer socializing.
The bookworms taking a much needed break.
It all somehow energized the world around. The
everyday giving way to the exuberant fest.
The University was alive. More alive than ever.
POST-ENGI BLUES
From occupied breaks and
untimely Engi team meetings to
a carefree 3 day extravaganza,
from feeding the ghost of
attendance to becoming no
less a ghastly being on the
EDM night, you’ll surely be
ecstatic during the fest. But as
soon as the hangover of the fest
starts receding, the clutches of
routine life would drag you out
of your fairy tale and the pile
of assignments and files would
reach an all time high. Before
you even wake up from your
beauty sleep, you’ll realise that
midsems are already dancing
a macabre on your head.
These are the post-Engi blues
Gul Asnani, 2nd Year, COE
that catch you completely offguard.
The only thing you have
in your hands right now is the
beautiful experience that lies
before the blues.
So make sure you don’t miss
a single beat played. Make
sure you don’t lose sight of a
single spectacle. Make sure
the post Engi blues have a lot
of reminiscing!
