There was an unexpectedly less amount of events that took place. “I was hoping for more events. The ones they organized were fine but, you know, I mean, it's a fest. I expected more,” said Kalyani, a student from ANITS, Vizag. Srikanth, a student of Gayatri Institute of Technology said, “Off all the events conducted, there were only four which were spot events. I mean, I just found out that there was a feast taking place yesterday. I would've liked to see more events in which I could participate. But everything else is going great! The food is awesome!”
Chief guests included Takkuro Tagata; the stars behind the viral video, The Viva, Harsha and Sabreesh and the pop icon - Anjana Sowmya. Harsha graced the stage during the cultural night and managed to do a ramp walk in his humorous persona. Once as a manly character and once in his comical feminine impersonation. “Anjana Sowmya was amazing! She was very majestic. She definitely replaced Kristen Stewart as my celebrity crush. I loved her!” said an ecstatic fan Ankith.
Let's take a moment to marvel at the miracles pulled of by the GIM students. They have managed to wrap in big names such as Kalanjali, 93.5 Red FM, CIMA, Red Magazine among others as sponsors for the meet. They were supported by their faculty, K. Sivarama Kirishna (Principal) and Manjushri Naidu (Student Co-ordinator). Keep in mind however that the organizing committee consisted almost entirely of students.
Now coming to the main part of the entire meet. Cultural Night. Here's what the attendees felt about the cultural night:
“The stage was killer! The colors and lighting was totally new, at least, in GITAM fests,” said Vishnuvardhan, a student of GIT.
