……Ours is a technological age where the invariably escalating
competition for supremacy and the juggernaut of brilliant minds have
led to an incredible uplift in the general lifestyle. With a cut throat
competition continuously gnawing at ones confidence, preparing a strong
foundation and a thoughtful creative mind becomes an absolute necessity.
Giving youngsters a perception of invention and innovation and that’s
what our fest namely Colosseum accomplishes through a plethora of events
ingrained in the four days.
Abhivyakti,
an event that welcomed the ingenious with esoteric, eloquent views to
judge their technical acumen at national level. Jugat,
where the skill of disassembling and assembling of intricate machine
parts is tested. Informals, with its series of events brought one into
a world of fun and frolic wherein luck, attitude and some crazy fantasies
were observed. Aurum, a coalescence of
intellect, beauty and creativity designed to test the participants’
wit, charm and panache till the termination with crowning of Mr.
and Ms. Colosseum. Nations, an event
that analyzed ones diplomacy and oration as one represented oneself
as a country’s delegate. Sanrachna,
an event that provided a platform to manifest the innovative thought
of the participants. Renaissance, a series
of guest lectures and workshops as an attempt to make people aware about
facets of life. Ranbhumi, a robotics contest
where one had to set brain free to explore the cosmic field of robotics
pitched against a machine. Literary events like x-quiz
it, lingua franca, biz-czar, sensex and iconoclasm were some
of the most testing events. Various branch chapters also contributed
in the fest and made up the total number of the events to about 47.
Students
from colleges all across India made their way to our college loaded
with all their paraphernalia to become a part of a fest unbeatable in
every aspect.
The four days plunged in the pool of abundant happiness and splashes
of success, were days one would always love to look back on.
Change
is the eternal law of nature, say some. Change is inevitable, say others.
So did our Colosseum undergo a few favourable changes for instance,
the much awaited incorporation of corroboree – the celebrity night
in the fest.
It is our own College of Technology, Pantnagar, known for setting paradigms
of perfection in all spheres of life.
Colosseum’06
will certainly embark an odyssey to broaden horizons and a universal
outlook of the students making themselves zealous and better citizens
of tomorrow. The scintillating blend of these colourful days was an
experience……. over and above everything.
