<p>Time and again, college-level fests have proved to be a platform for budding talent. And every year, freshers wait for this opportunities to get noticed and show what they have to offer. <br /><br /></p>.<p>St Joseph’s College (Autonomous) recently held its intra-collegiate fest Pratibha 2013, where the students made complete use of the platform provided to them. Moreover, the fest was not just a day-long affair. Held across the week, Pratibha 2013 had events ranging from literary, theatre, music, art, drama to other cultural activities. <br /><br />Every little detail of the week of entertainment was organised by the student council and event heads. It captivated the entire college right from the first-year undergraduates to the final-year postgraduates. Adeline, the cultural secretary, says, “As cultural secretary, it was a big responsibility on my shoulders. With the help and cooperation of the event heads and volunteers, the fest was a grand success. It was a good way to start the year.” <br /><br />Preparations and practice started weeks before the fest, especially since this was the fest that every student looked forward to. <br /><br />The college mock-rock team amused the audience with their comical acting skills. Other events like ‘Junk Art’, where students had to create something out of waste; photography competition and even searching for the ‘Mr and Miss Pratibha 2013’ kept the students occupied. <br /><br />With over 12 on-stage events, the fest had a fitting finale with the college fashion teams taking part in an ‘ethnic walk’. They flaunted their attire with grace and poise. Madhuran, a student, says, “Pratibha was well received by all Josephites. I was happy to see a lot of participants. During the grand finale, it seemed like an inter-collegiate fest.” <br /><br />While Ryan Peter, another student, adds, “I was overjoyed to see students actively participate in various events. I feel it was organised very well.” <br /><br />The second-year BVC bagged the overall winner’s title and third-year BCA were the runners up. Tushara Panicker and Dickson Eugene of second-year BVC were declared ‘Miss Pratibha 2013’ and ‘Mr Pratibha 2013’ respectively.<br /></p>
