<p>The campus of Baldwin Women’s Methodist College recently came alive as the students hosted ‘Chrysalis 2013’, an inter-class literary, fine arts and cultural fest. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The event was spread over three days and was open to both PUC as well as degree students. <br /><br />Both the participants and spectators had a great time during the fest, putting their best foot forward to showcase their talents.<br /><br />In the literary section, events such as caption, essay and poetry writing, ‘What’s the Good Word?’, crosswords and pick-and-speak were conducted. <br /><br />Students who were interested in IT could take part in competitions like ‘IT Jam Up’, a quiz and even a game of Pictionary based on the subject. <br /><br />Artistically-inclined students were spoilt for choice — several fine-arts events were organised, including mehendi designing, cartooning, vegetable impressions, eggshell painting, bindi designing, face painting, ‘Art from Waste’ and flower arrangement. Interesting competitions like nail art, poster-making, window display and soap art were also conducted.<br /><br />The students had a great time selecting which events to take part in. <br /><br />The best part about the fest was that it gave the degree and PU students a chance to interact with each other. <br /><br />Besides this, there were also cultural programmes like vocal solos, a fashion show, group dance, folk dance and even mime. <br /><br />Each class participated as a team and there was a lot of healthy competition as to who would win.<br /><br />The union members, who put in every effort to ensure that the fest went off smoothly, were delighted with the result.<br /><br /> Priyanka, one of the cultural secretaries of the college, says, “I enjoyed this a lot and am sure that all the participants and teachers had a great time too. Everything went off well as planned — we’re quite happy about it!” <br /><br />They also admit that they learnt a lot in the process of putting together the fest. While Ashika, also a cultural secretary, labels it a ‘learning experience’, Evangeline, the president of the college, says, “It was a fabulous experience of conducting 36 events in three days — in coordination with the cultural teachers — in a short period of time.”</p>
