here's the first one....

I always liked reading.. though haven’t been able to read much after coming to IIT…whenever I went thru some of my friends works who write occasionally I always felt motivated to try my hands at writing ..i sat down many a times to give words to my thoughts but I never found the rhythm.. so I thought I should try my hands at blogging..well that’s the least you can do these days..so here i am writing my first blog..

I think I should start by telling something about myself…. I am a second year student at IIT BOMBAY …the first two years have passed pretty fast and I have two left …I have fallen in love with this place..i have made some very good friends here and I have learnt a great deal about life..

Most recent times have been very important for me…I feel very fortunate for being given the opportunity to work for the events department of our college fest MOOD INDIGO…well my department deals with the cultural side of MI and is our job is to set up an enjoyable ,diverse platter to serve to the crowd coming to MI. we are called HORIZONS and we take care of workshops, exhibitions, street acts, professional shows ,plays etc. ..i just love the way my department works because there is no definite way..:)..we have the freedom to think the way we want..to present whatever we feel would strike a chord with the audience..the part that I love the most about my work is that I get to meet people who have been involved in some of the finest Indian art organizations and I get to see great artworks in the form of amazing plays, various shows, exhibitions etc.

very recently ..about a week back,I got the opportunity to see two very celebrated hindi plays-TAJMAHAL KA TENDOR and SHATARANJ KE MOHARE.i liked the first one but when I talk about the second one I don’t have to think even for a second to accept that those were my best two and a half hours spent in an auditorium… One reason might be that I haven’t seen many professional plays but still that feeling that I had when I was enjoying the treat that the play was ,the feeling that I was witnessing something very spectacular,,,it was out of this world…/I would love to rite about these two plays and also about some other stuff that I hv seen recently…but in my next blog…
