Inchoation 2.0

After having been made to believe that our orientation program is jinxed, the relief of having conducted a successful event can’t be put down to words. But more on why the event almost got canceled later.

We started our preparations about a week back when we got to know of our event date. Since every society in college wanted to conduct their orientation programme before others, there was a clash amongst the presidents and dates were ultimately decided through a lottery system of picking up chits. And when it’s left to luck, you know what happens. Hell, something had to go wrong. We ultimately had a choice between two dates – 3rd(which was too early and possibly a holiday due to Ganesh Chaturthi) and 18th(which was a bit too late).

No marks for guessing, we took a blind chance and started preparing for 3rd. Special credit goes to our president for that. We christened the event Inchoation 2.0 (Thank you Aastha for such an peculiar name, it’s irresistible and Thank you Garima for giving it a techno-savvy feel) Here’s one more compliment, the Dean said – “I claim to have a very good vocabulary, but I have not heard this word before..”

So we began with the basic publicity. And then started deciding the events we were going to have. Somebody came up with the idea of launching a movie club at the orientation programme. Nandu prepared a fun Crossword, other rounds like Voice Recognition, Dubbing Scenes, Picture Quizzes were also finalised in the next few days. The idea was to keep the event simple, and host it well.

I must mention the second year students, especially the girls who toiled away days and nights to make sure the event is publicized well. Little did we know that the event was going to be such a success.
