IT’S THE TIME TO DISCO…

Trichy, 12th April: As the days went by, PGP1 and PGP2 were counting their days together here at BIM. Everybody wanted to make the most out the time they had together by snatching every opportunity to enjoy and making every moment memorable. Party, treats and fun were the words ringing in the campus every night with only a few days to go for the completion of the academic year. Thai, Sangam, Jenny's, REC dhabba, Kannapa's, and Azeez biriyani shop were the places all BIMites were flocking in with their buddies these days. Everyone had a treat booked up every night celebrating the placements and their time here. While Guys had fun the whole night outside, girls had a great time inside. They enjoyed and entertained themselves inside LH, playing games, music and so on.

The whole year flew away in wink of an eye. Every moment from DAY 1 here, starting with the ice breaking sessions, MARWAR, foxtrot, BIM Talkies, Thanksgiving, Diwali, Christmas, new year, republic day, volleyball tournament, Yorker 2006, Holi, Farewell was full of fun. PGP1 will definitely miss the 'mokkai' sessions during the teatime in the night and 'quests' in the CC. On the whole there is definitely going to be a space left by the seniors which will stay empty even as the rooms and places are going to be occupied by the juniors the next year, as the selection process is on for BIM23 batch.

LADIES’ NIGHT OUT

Trichy, 12th April: It's said and felt that world ends for LH when the gates close at 9:30pm, but enjoyment was at its peak on 27th of March night. The occasion was the 'LH' night, an exclusive event unplugged. The themes were given to the PGP2 a day before so that each team (each room) could decide upon their costume for the night. The stage was set into action as each team came out displaying their themes, which were 'Hawaiian', 'Unity in Diversity', 'Movies', 'Tribes', 'Halloween', 'Fairytales', 'Patriotism', 'Colours', and the 'Siamese ‘triplets’. As the groups made their entry, the request and the songs dedicated were played which carried specific messages. The entry of the 'Tribes' group was a dance performance for the song 'Jumbalakka' which gave the perfect start for all the actions to follow. The first round of ramp walk started, where each team marketed themselves trying to impress the judges for the day's title of 'The Lost Room'. As the first round ended, homemade' bhel puri was served to all with rasagullas and cool drinks. Games followed. The first game was 'Shipwreck' as each person had to convince the captain 'why she should be given the life boat'. The captain was none other than Faiza of PGP1 and the various personalities who participated were 'Aiswarya Rai' Sumashini, 'MS Subbulakshmi' BOSS- Thenral, Premananda' Arthi, 'Micheal Jackson' Thilakavathy and so on.

As a full round of 'Shipwreck' was done, fun started in form of 'relay' which had 'lemon on spoon' to be passed among the players. This was the quarterfinal, while 'sack race' was the qualifying round for semi finals. All the teams took part with high spirit and two teams qualified for the Grand finale. The teams were 'Hawaiian' and 'Fairy Tales' who faced the challenge of dressing one of the team member as "Chandramukhi"(a celebrated horror movie character in Tamil). The air turned electric as the two chandramukhis, Anitha and Deepthi Aswani, danced for the song "Raa raa", and tried to impress the judges with their classic performance. In the meanwhile, the show was interrupted by a commotion outside the LH gate. The uninvited always-curious 'guys' were trying to grab the girls' attention by honking their cars and bikes, which were parked on the other side of the LH gate. The girls too responded to them by playing the song "Who let the dogs out???" As they retreated to their dens, 'The lost Room' contest resumed.

The final round had intricate questions directed towards each person. Many secrets were unravelled as the questions from the audience were fired at each participant. As the last round turned interesting, a few of PGP1 girls were also pulled on to the road. Then the judges, Valambal, Yazhini, and Pallavi of PGP1 announced the much-awaited results. Room '83' was awarded the 'The Lost Room'. The winners of the contest, Hawaiians received a bowl full of chocolates as the prize, which were shared between everyone. And to end the show, the girls hit the dance floor at 2, which went on till 3 p.m.

The credit goes to both PGP2 and PGP1 for making the show a great success. PGP2 took pains in dressing up for the show and keeping up the spirit throughout. PGP1 worked hard as the show was planned just a day before. Right from purchasing the necessary items for making the bhel puri, to decorating the LH street, high involvement was seen in giving our seniors a pleasant and an enjoyable party, which will be cherished for years to come.

Siya Bonga: BIM21 SAYS GOODBYE

Trichy, 12th April: BIM21 finally leaves the campus today. The batch that will always be remembered for the honors it brought to the Institute. The batch that will always be remembered to have achieved everything what others believed was impossible. The batch that will always be remembered for the friendship and bonding among the batch mates. The batch that will always be remembered for what it was like. The batch that will always be remembered for the Thanksgiving party they threw to their juniors, BIM22. The evening started with some really delicious delicacies that were served in the special tents that were put beside the East End Gardens. Since the evening coincided with the Telugu New Year eve, UGADI, the menu was specially given a spicy tinge.

Sudhan and Indu played the anchors for the evening. The theme for the evening was Siya Bonga, which in Afrikaan means ‘Good Bye’. Dr. Jayasankaran and Dr. T.V. Subramaniam graced the evening. The evening started with each of the lecturers being invited to come up onto the stage and deliver their last lessons to the outgoing batch. While some of them asked the ‘almost managers’ to use what they had learnt in the class room, the others simply bombarded this by referring to these classroom lessons as garbage and asked the outgoing students to be practical and just use common sense. In short, it was a good infotaining session for the audience.

This was followed by the cultural events that were staged by the groups of the students of PGP2. The highlight of the evening was a short 2 minutes dance by Pari, the 4- year-old daughter of Santosh, PGP1 who is visiting her father these days. Audience was also entertained by the dance performances by GK and Group, Spice Girls & DJ and Aparna. The skit performed by the members of ‘EPP’ group tried to add some message to the otherwise masala evening and was widely appreciated. The screening of some videos showing how BIM21 spent its 2 years at campus that were framed by the kalai-com followed this. Videos showing different groups of friends like Mavericks, EPP, Navratnas were shown. The highlight of this screening was the notorious activities of Aruloli that had been captured.

As usual, the evening came to an end with the dance floor. The evening was definitely a memorable one. All credit goes to Kalaicom members who with the help of Messcom members arranged for such a nice party.
