Hybrid Hues '15-'17 AIIMS, New Delhi | Page 14

W 12 Lajja Patel 3275, Batch of ‘16 ell, to a nerd like me, the word ‘Pulse’ always brings to mind the ECG recording - P-QRS-T. e basic outline of the fest Pulse wasn’t any different. For me, it started with the practice for P wave. I had to play the role of a mom, thanks to my growth hormone, of Ayushi and Chitrakshi, both of them my seniors. It was inspirational to see Boka work so hard to organise the program and I had a lot of fun working with the Scenes people but what fascinated me most was how perfectly normal Homo Sapiens transformed themselves into Homo Neanderthalensis as soon as the food arrived. No battle could have been more intense than the �ight for a piece of Roti. One of the good experiences was working with Varad and Utkarsh to make PULLS. One shoot I will never forget is when they shifted a block of the ceiling to put phones in there for an interrogation room like effect. Creativity and practicality at its best! It was also interesting to understand why and how a 20 min video can take almost a week to make. I can never see the �lm industry the same way. anks to basketball, I get compliments for looking much �tter than I used to. I had lost all the extra blubber I had acquired during the last 2 years of entrance preparation. I also got to learn new skills in basketball, meet lots of seniors and click sel�es with Floyd. My team also went to Siri fort to practice where we were always defeated by 12 yr olds :P Even after a good amount of practice, we lost the very �rst match in Pulse ( I wouldn’t say that was very unexpected). For me, the QRS peak would have to be the lit nighters. I love to play games which check both knowledge and logic. Password, taboo, etc provided a perfect blend of that. I had a great time with seniors having similar interests as mine and I have come to admire them a lot. Winning two lit nighters and getting 4 am treats were the icing on the cake. I think the most wild part (and the T wave) was helping organise Fash. Fashion industry is something I know almost nothing about. Fash gave me an insight on how seriously some people took all these beauty pageants. I had a wonderful time getting to know all the girls and why their passion was this. One advice for guys – makeup can be extremely deceptive ! e MRC, the delicious food at the stalls, doing security checks, entering the star nights with a swagger while there was a huge crowd still waiting to enter were some of the other memorable experiences. All in all, pulse provided me with what I had expected from college life – new adventures and new experiences.
