Incident '09

Notice the badge:-

Put simply its a representation of the theme for Incident '09: "Beyond Expression"

What is Incident you ask? Well if thats the case then you missed a hell of a show brother! Incident is the cultural fest of NITK Surathkal and is regarded as one of the best 5-day fests in India. When you have about 4000 students and over 100 colleges participating, you know you are in for a wild ride...

Inci this time didn't disappoint- Check out the official site (Thanks again Kiran for that wonderful website) here.. Use the map and the bot well and you will be getting a trip of NITK (Well, almost!)

I was not present for Day 0 as there is practically nothing on those 4 hours except the Easten Musicals. Speaking of musicals, for the first time ever in Incident history we had a live webcast of all major events and recorded videos of most others. Have a look here for that but I must warn you that the vidoes are huge and need a fast & unlimited internet connection if you need to watch it all in proper manner.

So the next day, Feb 26, was Day 1 (D-uh!) and I had the Ju-Jitsu workshop. As usual NITK followed a timezone 1-1.5 hrs behind IST and I had ample time to get myself a pair of shorts before realising none else had even bothered. Those 2 hours were really great as we were taught several holds and locks apart from a few falls, throws and "Life saving and Deadly" techniques- The instructor's words, not mine.. Oh did I mention I got manhandled by a final year trical girl when we were practising a few moves? *SHUDDER*

Once the gruelling session of Ju-Jitsu was done, I went over to the main building and the Artist Forum had done some really great work there:- 

They also had this art exhibition going on which saw some most remarkable work:-

The last 4 were by a girl in class 9 of school! Talk about talent.. 

More coming up..
