Done and Dusted ....

All good things come to an end. The excitement is over for the year as far as KGP is concerned. Spring Fest is over. And so is its techno-managerial relative, Kshitij. What remains behind is a void which I am not sure anything ... and I mean anything ... can ever fill.

Especially so for me as I was so involved in the whole thing . The responsibility of seeing through a fest of the magnitude of Spring Fest is a scary one at best. However, as soon as I was elected to be the upholder of the age-old tradition I felt proud that I was entrusted with the responsibility. Of course there were moments of doubt .... when the sky seemed to be caving in and nothing seemed to be going right, but thanks to the people who were there to share the responsibility I never lost the focus ... and for that I am grateful. SF, as we call it, could never be allowed to suffer and before that ultimate objective there was no space for individual gratification or petty politics. Of course there have been times in the past when the fest has seen both of these and needless to say it was the fest that had suffered. However, the Spring Fest 2005 team did not ever want to have such regrets. Hence, from day one the emphasis was on how to work together to get a better SF. As it happens with any team we had our differences. However these were never allowed to assume a threatening shape. Good sense prevailed in the end and the results are for all to see. A kick-ass fest ... and levels of perfection that we had only dreamed of achieving when we had started off on this long journey ...

The juggernaut rolls on ....
