The postgraduate students of the Oxford College of Arts had a ball of a time recently, when the department of mass communication and social work organised a cultural programme called 'Waves 2012'.
The students showcased the best of India and its myriad colours. It was not just the students who were actively involved in the programme, though — the faculty members were equally enthusiastic about the show and even participated in it.
The programme gave the students a chance to showcase their talents. It began with Nandishwar, the director of management studies and Sharada Ajit, the principal, addressing the gathering and motivating them.A host of events had been lined up for the day — from a dance recital to an ethnic show, it had all the
ingredients of a complete entertainer.
In the mono-acting event, a few epic characters were depicted, showing that the students are still rooted to their culture.
The ethnic show, which saw the students wearing the traditional attire of various states, reinforced the concept of unity in diversity and the much-awaited mime drove home a strong social message.
The day also witnessed a repeat performance of a prize-winning skit. A medley of tunes and a riot of colours marked the song and dance events, that set the mood for the programme.
The teachers of the college were not far behind and surprised the students with
their beautiful voices, great sense of humour and much more.
Pavan, a mass communication student, says that the programme brought the
students and teachers closer.
"We would like to have more activities like these, that bring teachers and students on a common platform. We were very happy to see our teachers perform for us, taking a break from their regular teaching," he says.
Ruja Pokhrel, a third-semester MSW student, notes that the event gave them an opportunity to make new friends and interact with people from different
departments.
"The programme was a coming together of two departments. We all enjoyed performing for the receptive audience. We are looking forward to more such programmes hereafter," she says.
Sukrita K, a first-semester mass communication student, adds, "It was an
interesting event, filled with enthusiasm, and gave us all a break from our hectic
schedules. It was a day for all of us to showcase our talents and also learn many things".
For students and teachers alike, the event provided a much-needed diversion from their busy schedules. Fun-filled and full of surprises, the programme saw the students of the two departments bonding with each other as well as their teachers.
