DEEPWOODS – 2017| Memories

DEEPWOODS – 2017| Memories

INTRODUCTION

I am P. Hannah Margaret from the Department of Philosophy.

I wish to give my thoughts on Deepwoods 2017 - something that I enjoyed, experienced and utilized in this year’s Deepwoods!

I’m so glad that I’m going to write this essay based on how my English professor taught me about the five-paragraph essay writing. But this is not about five-paragraph essay, but a structured essay.

THE FIRST DAY

When I entered the first day of Deepwoods, I was quite fascinated and surprised with the majestic entrance decorations with VIVO’s balloons and dolls, by the by, up until the quadrangle which was adorned with the Red Bull carpet.

The stalls and the programs are as follows. From various college many students came and participated in various events and won prizes. Here are some of the events that happened on Day One of Deepwoods 2017.

BRITISH COUNCIL

First and foremost, the one thing that I liked the most about Deepwoods is the British council Library’s Stall, where they conducted spelling test as sample. I was willed to join in that spelling test, I won in that and got an I-pad holder as a gift. And I was  also told to fill up the feedback forms and mainly asked whether I have interest in attending English level test. I really got interested in it, as the way they treated was in a kind manner. They motivated me to apply for the examination they conducted.

WESTERN DANCE – QUADRANGLE

The foremost program – the cream of the day - started in Deepwoods in the Quadrangle - the western dance. Many colleges participated in the western dance. And I really enjoyed well with all the performances put up by the Colleges. It was a different feeling for me. By that second, I felt that my mind was absolutely free. Also, the stage and the lighting works were perfect. And the sound system, without any single trouble, was really awesome.

ETHNIC WALK

Soon after the lunch break, started the Ethnic walk, which was performed by many other colleges. They performed so well by walking in different styles and the way they wore the different kinds of dresses looked simply majestic. This event was also conducted in the Quadrangle.

WESTERN ACOUSTICS

This western acoustics took place in BISHOP HEBER HALL outdoor stage where many participated in the event, and sang well with musical instruments. It motivated me to achieve my dream of becoming a professional singer and musician in life. This event was a real crowd puller as well.

STREET PLAY

This event was conducted at the Bell Tower which was good and I was really impressed by the way students from various colleges acted and spoke so bold and so clear. From various college many students participated nearly 10 represented from each college. Their costumes for the street play was well-suited and appropriate that gelled well with their topics. They mostly took the topics like the present politics in Tamil Nadu and women’s role and how women struggled in earlier days and how the status of women has developed and secured. I loved that event – and I totally forgot myself as I remained stunned there, watching the entire event from beginning to the end.

OTHER EVENTS

There were many other events like creative writing held in THOMAS HALL and the poetry writing in the same venue. Script writing was conducted in the SELAIYUR HALL, Event reporting in the EXAMINATION HALL, Face painting in ZOOLOGY TANK , Painting in BISHOP HEBER HALL , Graphic designing  in the EXAMINATION GALLERY ,Sketching in BISOP HEBER HALL, Street soccer in ST.THOMAS HALL GROUND and finally EDM night in the QUADRANGLE.

LIKES AND I ADMIRED

I was happy with the cooperation of my colleagues and the outsiders who performed as well as the audience who were listening and enjoying the program. I had a great time to enjoy each and every program with my colleagues after a long time. And the very big thing is that I got new friends from many other places. Me and my friends as a whole enjoyed the different kinds of food placed in the stalls.

We even more enjoyed the various events such as creative writing, script writing, poetry writing, event reporting, face painting, graphic designing, sketching, street soccer, EDM night and selfie contest in which everyone took part and had a valuable time. Many of us were encouraged by winning many prizes like selfie sticks, VIVO dolls, VIVO bags. Securities were appointed in many numbers to take care of the students and visitors. It made us feel more safe and comfortable.

DISLIKES

Most of the events went out of timing and it was not started on time. The number of trees that were uprooted due to the storms made us feel unhappy. Even though the MCC had recovered from the mess created by Cyclone Vardah, still, we could not enjoy the shadow of the trees which we badly missed.  

CONCLUSION

Each and every program that was performed on the occasion of this year’s Deepwoods was well and good. Me and my friends feel so glad to say that we are MCCians and we are so proud to be a part of this institution and also like to thank our college Principal and Bursar who permitted to have this Deepwoods with great fun. And a big thanks also to all the Professors and my colleagues who made those days more entertaining.

THANK YOU!!!
