It's all coming together
For a young institute like IIMK, as Gaurav pointed out in a way, in his earlier post, there are a few milestones that need to be crossed before the culture of the place comes of age. IIM Kozhikode may not be a contender for the top position in this respect but one of the most important attributes that we can show to the outside world is Backwaters, our fest. Difficult as it may be for me to believe it, this show is turning out to be quite spectacular this time.
There are so many people whose efforts are going into Backwaters right now that it is but impossible for me to even start naming them here. As Jerin told me in one of our daily sTrEAM meetings, we are all charged up right now and can probably stretch ourselves the most during this period when we are neither despondent for lack of hope nor complacent for lack of potential to improve.
Things expectedly got all heated up as we went into the first real exposure to the outside world. The launch of online eliminations to simulation games to be held on campus was not without glitches, as Aditya has already mentioned, but then what's life without a few thrills and last-minute chills!!!
Coming next is addition to my count of sleepless nights (3 and counting so far) and that of almost everyone on the sTrEAM. With 3 more eliminations to go for the finance and operations games and the Mastermind based Quiz, work has been expanding to fill voids, if any. Tempers (especially mine) have started fraying and the need for a sTrEAM outing to Taj is becoming more and more imminent. Before you say, I know that there is lot more to do than while away time eating at Taj and perhaps that is why I am writing this blog post right now, waiting for Qaynat to send the short list for Konsultant, the systems game.
Checking up the answers to the huge number of entries that we have been receiving for elimination games, putting up posters on the campus and sending them to people in different institutes all over India, responding to queries, maintaining track of team registrations (last I heard, there were 8 institutes already registered and many more expected), designing T-shirts, banners and posters, conceptualizing last minute advertising buzz, getting official permissions done, preparing to welcome participants at IIMK, getting the concerts finalized, the dances prepared, the play practice started, the list of task seems endless and it alone can probably fill up this entire post and may be even more. So, till the next time!
