Take over your fest

Most of the times, it is very difficult to put a name, a figure, an achievement to your feelings and dedicated efforts. Organizing a fest like Backwaters is one such time. For the sTrEAM, which has been meeting every day now for the past one week or so, things are coming to a head. We have always been passionate about the festival but now that it is time to convert that passion into something more concrete, things have started taking a challenging shape.

Starting with the Euphoria concert and our willingness or lack of it, our capability or lack of it to go full steam ahead with it, and moving on to the real organizational aspects of the fest, we have realized one thing for sure. This festival is not owned by just the thirteen of us. The uncountable number of suggestions, comments, and feedback on the site that have been pouring in from both the batches, the readiness with which people have been taking ownership of conducting games at Backwaters, and the support from other interest groups and committees all go on to prove that IIMK is enroute to taking over Backwaters. And are we happy!!!

IIMK student community knows and has been reiterating, much to our pleasure, that their stake in the festival is as big as ours or even bigger. The thirteen of us are merely facilitators (to use Rohit and Aditya's words) who are going to do our best to see to it that everyone gets the right chance to make his/her fest the best in B-school circuit.

So, come along people and fight...for the final frontier looms up in the distance and now is the time to say Har Har Mahadev and charge on the enemy...any and every obstacle that prevents us from making Backwaters a big success.

Let us terminate...with extreme prejudice, if need be.
Let us seek...and destroy, if need be.
Let us annihilate...if need be.
Let us kill...and be killed, if need be.
