Celebrating the year end with a Winter Carnival

The theme for this year's Winter Carnival was Comic On and as always the event marked the showcasing of students' talent. The Carnival, which is student lead, an initiative to empower students in terms of planning, executing and overseeing logistics took place on the fifteenth of December. It was indeed an event that we all looked forward to.

The Grand Stage, as you can see was dressed in vibrant colours and it was the backdrop for many of us to pose upon! Kapil, Anand, and of course, Emanuel were happy subjects for the prime lens, myself included!

But then, I was able to get a few more snaps that were action-oriented towards the theme with 'POW' and 'WOW' indicative of how most of us felt on that day!

The excitement was tangible and there was excitement in the air, the weather was pleasant and everyone had a great time!

There were a few candid moments where the shutterbug was able to capture a few 'Aha' moments. You did not know, perhaps that CLICK was around!

It was a joyous first YUJAN for a few, and you would be knowing for whom it was. The child must have been wondering what all that fuss was!

Remember the Lemmings that were led to the cliff's edge by the Pied-Piper of Hamlyn? Well, that was just a joke, but then proof about how well some lessons are taught. And Rohit Sir should be proud about being such a good facilitator!

The Carnival was also an occasion when we got to meet some of our students who passed out from school a few years back. It was a joy to see them!

Wish many more could have come, though I guess, college and work pressure would have made it difficult though. I remember that Stetson cap one of them wore on Khoj. He wouldn't let anyone else wear it. I wonder if it is still there.

I have heard of smoking guns and gargoyles and monsters and serpents but never have I come across a fuming cup and a Hulk with an eye in its mouth. Nor have I ever seen a toddler grab a book. But then this YUJAN, they were all there in all their resplendent splendour!

Veronica must've been rather peeved to see me in that cutout, but then, I guess it was all about being comic characters in a cartoon-strip! Certainly, it was a moment when we all re-lived out childhood memories of reading comics. Great to know that our young ones still read comics!

The Students' Club presented a good show though! Due credit to Sankal Sir for leading the Student Club. This last snap is for him, hope he likes it.

All smiles, Rita Ma'am and Krishna Ma'am, the sunshine ones, sure it was a great day with the sun shining loud and bright!
