SN and IG Hall -- Events

Events
 
 
 
ILU/ Rangoli The biggest Gymkhana event... It is the event that everyone participates in (willingly or otherwise) for a whole month. All for a matka of sweets! The ILU part really takes a lot more time (cleaning diyas, wiring them, drawing chatais, etc...) a shortage of man-power on the actual event date greatly restricts plans. However, SN has been doing very well in Rangoli off-late. A picture of the '96 rangoli (3rd position) is given above. 
Hall-Day The one time of the year when you can bring guests to your room (without having to be critically ill!). The hall is decorated with lights and all, everybody buys a lot of food, and the E-TMS very obligingly puts up a performance. Authorities are usually worried about 'uninvited-guests'... so residents have to set up an extensive 'security' system to check for invitations. 
Essence Week An intra-hall event which has only started regaining popularity. It's the one chance for people with lots of tempo and little calli to win prizes (examples are Cacophony and love-letter competition). The week ends with the red-letter day, with junta landing up in the mess in the wierdest of red-costumes.
Fresher's Welcome Just as the name suggests...it marks the end of the OP. Restrictions have now made it very hard to have an OP of any sort... but the fresher's welcome still is the greatest source of entertainment. The mandatory 'catwalk' and 'Mr SN' competitions have always cracked the audience up.
Final-Yr Farewell The final year farewell is markedly sober... ending in massive sento sessions with the final years handing out perps awards. It involves an extensively planned programme, a catwalk, a 'Miss SN' competition and some 'best senior in such and such awards'. This is accompanied by special dinner (where the mess ammas actually put up a good show) and ends in a lot of tempo shouts and dancing.
March Past The only part of the inter-hall sports meet that gives SNites any satisfaction in participating. After practicing march-past for a good three weeks, you have to run about the campus borrowing uniforms from the local school girls. Here again, SN has been doing very well.
