It was an evening of Gladiators’ talent put into action; it was a fitting conclusion of the various sports competitions held over the weeks, and it was a night of celebration over good food and dance. Photogallery of Sangamitra 2010Click on the image to enlarge
Sanghamitra is an intra college cultural and sports event that gives the students a platform to showcase their talents. There was competition, fun and action as everyone got geared up to cheer their teams. A range of games – Table Tennis, Chess, Throw ball, Basket ball, Kho Kho , Badminton, Cricket, Volleyball etc – brought high voltage to the campus , a much needed spirit before the exams kick in again. Section H2 came out as the winners of the series by winning the team events of Cricket, Volleyball, and H4 followed them as the runners’ up by winning the team event of Basketball, Throw ball. The Finale evening reached its zenith with singing, dance programs, fashion show and a rock band performance. There was entertainment, creativity and humour in the mad ads event. The DJ party and sumptuous dinner extended the verve. It is memories like these – being with our friends, egging them on to go the extra mile in a sport, commenting alongside them on a cricket match, getting them energy drinks as they sweat it out, applauding song and dance performances, in short, indulging ourselves to glory – we would remember, long after we pass out and perhaps, meet each other sometime. For these are rare moments, coming as they are, when they are much needed, bringing fun, joy and laughter in their wake. As the axiom goes, happiness vanishes the moment we realize we are happy. When we get occasions like these to indulge so much that we forget we are happy, we better prolong them. Another day at Great Lakes comes to an end, I wonder how much action happens here in a day, how much talent resides in our campus, indeed, I can hear someone say it again – “The action has just begun |

The first edition of the internal cultural festival – Sangamitra was organized on the 3rd of September. This was the first fest at the new campus on the outskirts of Chennai and everyone was looking forward to it. Despite the rains that decided to strategically come down a few mintues before the start of the programme, people were still upbeat and optimistic that it was a passing shower. And that’s what it was. Photogallery of Sangamitra 2009Click on the image to enlarge
The first performance for the day was from the school children of our Karma Yoga Project who were invited to come and deliver the invocation song. The students from the school were in awe of the numbers in the audience and the college amphitheater itself. Next, we had a rendition of a college anthem composed and written in tamil by our own students. Uncle Bala was his usual exuberant self and was really happy at the preparations done in such a short time and shared a song with everyone and was delighted to be present at the function. The day progressed with dances such as Bhangra, Garba, free-style and even Salsa. As always, the dances were lively, and had the audience cheering for the performers who dazzled us with their moves on stage. The students had also put up a hilarious play which was based on the Mahabharata, but that was where the similarity ended. The second play of the day, which was a tribute to all the fine professors and staff who have helped the students, was hilarious to the point where even some of the staffs present were in splits. It was all tasteful and in good humour. The highlight of the evening was the mime performance by our very own students that had the audience amazed as to the hidden-talent amongst us. The programme culminated with the debut performance of the Great Lakes Institute of Management rock band, ”The Straight F’s” who energized the crowd with classic rock songs and left the audience wanting more. The rest of the evening was spent burning up the dance floor, music provided by a DJ from Chennai. At the end of it all, the students went back very contented at the great show put up by their fellow students and are eagerly awaiting the second edition, to be held early next year. |

Sangamithra happened on Saturday 28th July 2007 @ MGM Resort on East Coast Road, Chennai. A lush green, open aired area played the host to the event. With clouds looming there was a chance that rain may play spoilsport but thankfully they stayed away until after the event.
