Yearbook Report 2008-2009

This year the society witnessed a huge change in all aspects of work that it undertook, expanding its reach beyond college walls. Attending Friday meetings at Miranda House and Saturday meetings at Lady Irwin College, Mandi House became a regular affair. Thressy and Jyotsna would have been proud martyrs to our cause that fateful Saturday but damn them terrorists. They planted the bombs at Bharakhamba Road instead!

Unlike previous years, Virasat-2008 was a three-day event, with acclaimed artistes Teejan Bai and Kiran Segal performing their art in our beautifully decorated college hall, along with the screening of the Japanese warrior movie, Kagemusha on the first day.

Our team of enthusiastic second-years, led by a stressed-out Sneha and Payaswini worked together to make this event a success. We made posters for hours at a stretch, cleaned out the messy green room, (thereby unearthing a brand-new mirror!), set up the college hall with carpets ( a special thanks to Piyush, Paurush and Sukhvir’s band of boys), decorated with buntings, diyas and flowers (kudos to Hiba and her creative instincts!). Firmly set on bunking all classes, we extensively publicized the event for days all over the campus and managed to look well-groomed, sweet and courteous despite the pressure. The hunt for sponsorship, spear-headed by the serene Shagun, assisted by Simi, was full of heart-breaks and last-minute ditches but in the end persuasion paid off, and Virasat was organized within a mere budget of 40,000. Of course, our first-years assisted with on-day work.
Never before has the society put in such team-work. Many of our worthy members have gone unnamed but the word-limit is to be blamed. Forgive us friends.
The year ends with the promise of a notice-board for the society to call its own. One can only hope for better times next year.
