JOIN USThe students of PES College, Bangalore South campus, recently held a week-long interdepartmental cultural fest called Kashvi 13. A spectacular event, it brought the students closer to each other.
The purpose of this meet was to bring out the hidden talents among students and get them to know each other better.
It also gave the students a chance to show their creative ideas.
The cultural programme began with ‘cooking without fire’ and many students came forward and participated in the event.
The young chefs were seen trying to get a perfect balance of taste with ingredients like fruit, biscuits, milk etc.
The participants were judged on the basis of their presentation skills and taste. Events like collage, drawing, card-making, ‘mystery box’ and debate were also held.
Kavya, a student, says that ‘mystery box’ was one of the highlights of the fest.
“This event portrayed the fact that waste products can be useful in some or the other way.
Participants were given things like plastic bottles, old newspapers, cardboard and ice-cream sticks and the result was stunning.
While some tried to create a beachside house, others made a village dwelling.
On the second day of the culturals, we had an event called ‘Amnesia’, where a student was called upon by the judges to answer a witty question.
It was a great start to the day and we had competitions like dancing, singing, antakshari, rangoli, ‘Tom Dick and Harry’, ‘JAM’ and a treasure hunt over the course of the day,” he explains.
Participants of the dance and singing competitions were coordinated, stylish and a delight to watch.
The icing on the cake was the treasure hunt. Bhavana, a student, says that it was great to see everyone dressed up for the occasion.
“The last day of the fest was the most memorable as all of us were told to dress in ethnic wear.
The day began with an invocation and a beautiful classical dance by one of the students. Later, shields and certificates were given to all those who emerged victorious in various competitions.
We also took out time to have two more events such as ‘mad ads’ and a stand-up comedy act, which left the crowd in splits.
Every student loved each moment of this wonderful event. It was a great platform for all of us to showcase out talent and improve on it,” she sums up.
