The month of february is usually the most awaited month in college. We have our two main fests Engineer and a cultural fest Incident. Seniors kept talking about it the whole of last sem and the hype was building and we couldnt wait for the month of feb to start. Feb begun on a slightly sad note as we had the small matter of mid sem exams but we crossed that hurdle and we were ready to have a blast. It didnt exactly work out that way though. First up was Engineer and that is Boring like hell. It was all about geeky robotics stuff and boring seminars by boring people for students who dont want to be bored . So you can imagine how engi panned out for me. Since engi was dead boring i was looking at inci to add some spark into my life and oh Boy it didnt disappoint!!!! Incident was amazing .There were a lot of events in which even i could be interested in participating( quizzes mostly and yes nothing involving robotics :P).
One of the best part of inci was the basketball events . There was a regular basketball tournament plus the extra 3 point shootout and dunk competititon. Obvs Nitk was the most favoured team( not in the girls event , mind you. MCC girls were heavily favoured there for very obvious reasons, so much so that people decided to go to the western musicals a bit late because of the MCC vs BMSCE match). The 3 point out shootout was won by nikhilesh of NITK but what was surprising for me and really really really impressive was when the captain of the MCC team finished second beating tons of guys . Women are catching up with men i tell, its a bad sign :P. In the regular tournament there was a lot of drama as well. two matches i rememeber vividly was the semis and the finals. THe semi between josephs and jain was pure class. Josephs leading 57-55 with 3 secs to go and what happens next is unbelievable. The no 7 of jain just chucks the ball from little over the halfway line and the ball just goes in drawing gasps and shocks all around . He rightfully received a standing ovation after that.Jain scripted a dream story with a surprise victory over a strong and grossly underperforming nitk. During this time girls from bangalore colleges who were all over the campus made many nitkians have second thoughts about joining this college. The night shows were obviously were people had a blast. Be it the eastern musical, western , fashion show, DJ nite and the concert by Ganjawalla . Attendance was great and it was a big hit. A band called evergreen performed at western musicals and i really thought they were good. They played two covers of maiden well especially "burn".
But the marquee events , what people are still talking about , were the fashion show and the concert by ganjawala . The fashion show was really not a fashion show in the typical sense because people go to a fashion show to look at clothes but 500+ nitk eyes were only fixed on women from ramaiah and manipal modelling the clothes lol. Much to the shock of everyone around it was the boys team with their amazing costumes who win it and i think it was the right decision even though i dont want to beleive it :P. Dj nite was sad! Even though nikhil chinappa came, I discovered that techno is very very monotonous and doesnt have much range. Are electric and techno the same and could anyone spot the difference????? And everyone said kunal ganjawala concert was reallly good ( I didnt attend though because i wasnt well which has been the case this whole semester :( ) .As for me i participated in lit events , mostly all quizzes and all though i didnt do that well since my quizzing standards have drastically dropped from what it was once i do promise to return next year hopefully as a better quizzer. Incident was amazing . It stayed true to its tagline as we were rightfully left "beyond expression". Can't wait for next year!!
