Rangoli and Illumination @ IIT,Kharagpur

IIT Kharagpur is a place to behold during the festival of lights:Diwali- The whole week leading to the build up of the great day sees a flurry of activities across all hostels, in every nook and corner of the gorgeous campus, ultimately culminating in a breath taking display of lights and reverberating with the sound of multitudes of crackers....
The camaraderie between the students become visibly distinct as they vie with the rest of the hostels and gear up to provide the most outstanding display of lighted "diyas" for "thier" hostels.. The sense of competition is there, no doubt, but what takes the cake away is the ultimate fun in being a part of a "mega" event of sorts...It is actually reminiscent of the "unity in diversity" aspect of India as a whole- what with its confluence of people from different places,cutting across different societies,working together towards a common purpose...
Although i must admit that i did not contribute phenomenally towards the event, i had witnessed the best part of it...and this is something that i would remember for years to come.....
And the day i am writing this particular post is actually a prelude to the big day....Tomorrow(actually today,considering it is 3AM in the morning) is the day when the whole of IIT Kharagpur will be in its full glory...More updates on it very soon....
