DOWN THE MEMORY LANE
MADHURI INAVOLA (ETM, 2012-16)
CLUB INITIATOR
OUR FIRST PRESIDENT
Artista, a memory very vivid
and unforgettable. A part of
my life that I will hold on to for
ever. The main intention in
starting this club, was to
showcase and bring out the
artistic talents of GNITS
students and staff. I always
believed, trying new or
different things, that will give
you a chance to learn and
explore more. Also, my main
interests were art's and event
planning or management. So,
out of such thoughts I came
up with Artista.
Starting this club was not a
slice of cake. To begin it, me
along with my ardent support
Sowmya Sri had to prove that
this club will be a successful
effort and also show beyond
doubt, that we will be capable
to organise and provide
precise platform to our fellow
mates. One person who
always stood beside us and
guided us throughout this
process was Aparna ma'am.
If not for Aparna ma'am
Artista wouldn't have been
possible. Her encouragement
and guidance helped us to go
forward and taught us a lot on
how to lead and organise
better for which I'm forever
thankful.
I personally believe that,
every person should have
some sought of interest in
living life in more beautiful
way than living through a
routine cycle. It's not just to
earn, eat and sleep - it's
that life where we all have
to, have a thrive to live it
with more enthusiasm. At
present most of them might
have different hobbies and
unique ways for relaxation
but, are we seriously
dedicating time for
ourselves on regular basis
is the question. Research
shows that people who are
more successful in life (be
it in terms of wealth, health,
fame or anything else) are
ones who also maintain
some hobby. So as to not
get driven, by the regular
schedules and to bring out
some time, for the hidden
talents of GNITS students
in the field of creativity,
ARTISTA has been
initiated. The club
intentions were to organize
various events which could
serve as a platform for the
students and staff to let out
the art in them.
The first event held by Artista
was a four-day exhibit of all
art works done by the
students of GNITS, called
Galleria, held from 26th-29th
January, 2015. I must say, I
was absolutely astonished by
the response of the students
with their creativity and the
gallery was filled with
paintings and other art works.
The gallery was given, much
positive feedback and
impressive response for all
artworks alike, but
undoubtedly the major
attraction of the show was the
portrait of Smt. G.
Narayanamma. I am
extremely thankful for the
remarkable contributions
made by the students of
GNITS, and all those who
appreciated the effort.
All this was just the beginning
and now, today I'm always
super proud whenever I hear
that my juniors are taking
Artista to the next level. Other
day, during the Alumnae
Celebrations TU TURNO-19,
I have personally experienced
the way, team Artista was
organising events and their
creative side and I was
absolutely blown away by
their amazing work.
All the best in all your
endeavours!
