TThe three-day cultural week at the Mount Carmel College ended with a big bang recently.
![]( "Glamourous: The fashion team of Mount Carmel College.")
The cultural extravaganza titled, 'Vibgyor: The Colours of Life', had 30 associations of the college working along with the student union to bring out a successful fest.
There were more than 20 events and most of the students participated in the festival.
The various associations like dramatics, photography, bio-technology, personality, Indian music and dance, joined hands and decked up every nook and corner of the college.
The campus looked colourful while the food stalls dished out fresh chicken, vegetarian rolls and fried rice along with piping hot cups of soup and beverages. The competitions included 'Snakes and Ladders', 'Spoof a Classic', 'Bio-rangoli', data interpretation and debate among others.
Particularly exciting was the performance by the members of the Western Dance Association. The auditorium was packed with girls hooting and cheering. Association secretary Sakshi said, "It was a great occasion. More importantly, the vivacious crowd pepped up the performances." The Carmelites got the judges to shake a leg as well.
Gayathri Kunte, president of the association, thought that the fest was a great display of energy, ethnicity and magnificence. "The myriad food stalls on the campus dished out a variety of rolls, biryanis and pastries while the accessories and clothing kiosks made good revenue too," said Gayathri.
The MCC fashion team is one among the most active associations. Led by choreographer Mithilesh Nyathappa, the newly-selected fashion team was introduced in their first show titled Tapori... The girls worked around the theme of street style and one saw them strutting in denims, shorts, leggings, topped with ganji's razor-back tops and bright-spots with a rough look. The hairdos matched the clothes.
"It was all roughed up and for once, you can see the models wearing not high heels but converses and boots. The accessories were cycle chains, baseball bats, metal style earnings — all tomboyish, probably giving an attitude to the supposedly 'Loafers' Lane' down MCC campus," explained Mithilesh.
He added that this was also the time of year when the new models are shown off to the rest of the college along with the senior models. "With about six new entries and eight old ones, the total team strength now stands at 14. They will be groomed for the year ahead," he added.
Other popular events were the 'Ice Breaker' and 'Spot Talent Show'. Two excited participants, Srishti Kumar and Knoble Neha said, "Be it rap, beat-boxing, dancing, drama or singing, we have got it all covered," they said.
Meghana H, the cultural secretary of the college, observed, "The exciting environment on campus, dynamic practice and a creative spectrum of learning has paved way for a new and challenging approach to academics. A healthy and lively atmosphere on campus provides students with opportunities to learn, innovate and execute to perfection."
