KAALRAV 2K14 IS ON ! ! !

The Night had come when the students finally got the opportunity to showcase their exquisite talents. Kaalrav had begun! The excitement was reflected in the smiles of the students at the football field.
The Inauguration was welcomed euphemistically by a persistent shower which made the surrounding quite chilly and windy. None of this could dampen the flaming spirits of the SMITians.

Despite the warm welcome, the guests seemed a little displeased with the approximately 45 minutes’ delay.

1. INAUGURATION

Introduction to Kaalrav was nothing but an amazing piece of public speaking talent showcased by seven students who, most appreciatively spoke about the wonders of the world justifying the theme of Kaalrav- Around the World in Three Days.

2. DIYA LIGHTING

Inauguration was followed by Diya Lighting by the dignitaries present, which could be interpreted as the light of hope and wisdom in our lives. The guests were escorted to the Diya by students of the very efficient reception and hospitality committee.

3. KHADAS
Khadas were offered to the dignitaries by the Vice President and the General Secretary of the Student Council of the college as a token of respect and gratitude right after the Diya Lighting event.

4. WELCOME SONG

The welcome song was a wonderful piece of classical melisma. The vocalists were assisted by scintillating rhythms from the Harmonium and the Tabla.
Boys wore Traditional Kurta-Pajama and Girls wore traditional silk sarees.
The clothing wore the feelings of Peace, Harmony, prosperity, divinity which is abundantly present in the culture of India.

5. WELCOME DANCE
Welcome Song was followed by the Welcome Dance. It was grace personified. Using diyas as props, they danced eloquently and marvelously on the beats of a beautiful traditional song.
