A Day Deep in the Woods..: Dec. 07/2006

It's the time of the year when MCC gets into a different kind of frenzy altogether... It's neither the Margazhi utsav nor the Yuletide spirit, but it's something on a higher plane - higher in everything... in creativity, in crowds ( and crowd management), in canteens etccc and the C list goes on and on and on....

Yea... I'm penning my thoughts on the first day of this lovely cultural extravaganza at our own Madras Christian College...

The Advert in the daily newspapers was the cynosure of all eyes, and soon all roads started leading to MCC...

The first day of Deepwoods was more of an aesthetic treat than an intellectual one.The edifice of Samson, ironically with wings on his back, tied to pillars, in snow white was a treat to behold. The entrance was a bit different compared to the past couple of years, the threshold being adorned with hues of pink and white, quite obviously part of the hutch campaign.

Entry was restricted to students having their id cards on them. Participant colleges started trickling in one by one, and for the first program at Thomas's, AD-ZAP ( where i coincidentally happened to be the adjudicator) we had around ten colleges.It was a crowd unparalled in the recent past for the first day's events.

Students were at their best when it came to organisation and discipline.The quadrangle was overflowing on all sides for the mega event of the day - the Fashion show.To sum up, it was a lovely day worth every penny spent, deep out there in the woods...!
