Demise Of The Carnival?
In autumn 2006, the UG2K4 batch initiated a very interesting concept called the Sunday Carnival. The Carnival was started with the aim of proving themselves as a batch (similar to the 2K1 batch and Amalgam). The concept of competitions on a Sunday was a runaway success. People had a blast on the day and the event managed to hold back people in the campus. Over the months, other batches followed suit, and the Carnival became one of the most awaited events every month. Of course, the Carnival was also touted as a run up to Felicity. Events for Felicity were successfully or unsuccessfully tested out at the Carnivals.
Today, it is unfortunate to see that the successful concept is dying a slow death. The number of carnivals and the batches coming forward to do it came down last year. This year, not a single carnival has been held, nor does one seem to be in sight. We hope the people in charge are listening- Students want the Carnival back!
