Backwaters 2006 - A phenomenon
It's not often that I get kinda senti...But Backwaters 2006 must be one ofthe best fests I've been a part of...The cul-nite was a manifestation of so much talent that it gives me great and immense pride to be in a batch like PGP09 and an insti like IIMK. Just about every non-IIMK participant I talked to was bowled over by the performances.
Indian Ocean was the icing on the cake. I've been to many rock concerts,and I enjoyed Indian Ocean more than most of the others put together. No jostling for space, people stepping on toes, struggling to see the band members etc. IIMK's gotta be the only place on earth where one can lie on the grass, take as many pics n videos as one wants,smoke during the show,and talk one-on-one to the artists on stage!
A special thanks has to go out to the BW committee. This year the work for BW started very early(Sep,I think). I think BW 2006 will become a starting point for many more BW's of even grander scale and popularity in the future. Composed a lil poem abt Backwaters yday,which I'm pasting below:
Performances n parties n contests galore,
Talent that u never knew existed next door,
If in the end you weren’t left baying for more,
And crying yourself hoarse ‘Encore, Encore’,
Then u aren’t in the right B-school, u bore!
B-plans for the nerds and parties for the rest,
A chance at cul-nite to give out your best,
Pros like Indian Ocean playing at request,
Pride certainly wells up in the chest,
When I say-“Man, Backwaters was MY fest”
It’s not about the courses or the degree or the jobs,
Just the experience of being in IIMK rocks.
When memories of CG and CP fade,
You’ll still remember what a blast Backwaters made
