Rendezvous, the annual cultural festival of IIT Delhi. As the name tells, it refers a place where people meet at a predefined time. In this case it’s September. It is one of the biggest cultural fest in India (mother of all fests), people from all over the country come and participates in various events to prove their superiority over other colleges.
To an IITian, it is the most prestigious event because everyone is watching them namely media, their sponsors, other colleges and lastly crowd. Whole responsibility of organizing rendezvous is given in the hands of students. They work as a team day and night without compromising their studies; it is this aspect which I like the most. Students develop various skills which can’t be theoretically understood. It’s the time where students can participate and display their talent to everyone.
A large number of events are being arranged during rendezvous in a short span of 4-5 days. A typical day shoots at 9 in the morning and goes till midnight. One part of events consists of hotly contested debates, quizzes etc., other part have thrilling performances on stage like dance, fashion show, plays (Drama) and last and the most attractive part is the performances given by various recognized artists. Cheering is at its highest, no matter who is performing, what matters is the heart beat which goes on increasing performance after performance. Crowd enjoys a lot in these magical days especially students who always look out for a party.
The only thing lacking here is that you don’t have many options for taking a meal inside the campus, although some special arrangements are being made in order to fulfill “stomach needs” but they are not enough to handle such a big crowd. The result is that students have to wait (sometimes for long) to get their orders.
The security is quite impressive at Rendezvous; the highly enthusiastic students don’t let you enter any show unless you have specified pass (if required) or I-card. It is also advisable to get an IIT boyfriend/girlfriend (not necessary actually!!) in order to get passes easily for you and your friends rather than to stand in a queue in scorching sun for hours.
Everyone (Participants, organizers etc.) is tired after this huge event but are extremely happy after enjoying and collecting those precious moments with them and they eagerly look forward for the next rendezvous right from the time this one ends…….
Such is the aura of our fest “Rendezvous”.
