After the grand Alumni meet in January, February in Pantnagar couldn’t have been less happening. On the twenty-fifth day of this month “Razzmatazz-The Techfair” was organized by the students of College of Technology, in the college campus.
            Preparations for the fair had begun long before in the first week itself. The students were all charged up and were burning with a sense of challenge and competition during the bidding session when the stalls were being auctioned. The enthusiasm of the students knew no bounds. By about nine in the morning all the stalls were ready glaring with hoardings and posters of their respective sponsors ranging from the leading fashion brand to the leading estate agency.
            The Techfair was inaugurated by the honourable vice chancellor cutting the red ribbon. Other colleges of the university were also invited. There were numerous stalls, but the hot favourites were the eatables’ stalls. The smell of ‘chat’, ‘bhelpuri’ and ‘chinese food’ filled the air and acted like an appetizer even for overfilled stomachs. Ice-cream and cold drinks stalls entertained the largest number of customers and made huge profits. The game stalls were no less. Stalls like ‘matka phod’, ‘lucky 7’ and ‘housie’ also attracted a considerable number of students.
            The most happening of all was the request stall, managed by the final year students. That was the day and medium to say anything to anyone publicly! The day proceeded and as all good things must come to an end, it also ended. But it ended with a bang- a jam session in which students from first to final year jammed in and had fun.
By the end, the stall owners either ended up profiting or losing, but it was definitely an experience to remember and recollect.
