an amazing journey comes to an end...
The third post of my blog was long due,especially after some encouraging comments flowing in after the first couple of posts...but my busy schedule prevented me from letting the thoughts fly,much to the disappointment of many bloggers,especially my ever-curious wingies(one of them created a blog just to post a comment on mine!!)...and just when people had started nurturing the notion that i have quit from blogosphere,here's a new post to prove them wrong...
As the saying goes,"all good things must come to an end"...so has my association with Spring Fest-the annual cultural festival of IIT Kharagpur....a passion it has been for the last four years,ever since i was a volunteer in SF'03-perhaps the best fest Kgp has seen till date...this long association has brought out the best in me and at this juncture,i feel that i can say "i've given everything i could to SF"...
i still remember the statement of Rana during SF'03..."the sight of people enjoying in a fest where you've played a significant role,provides you with a feeling of satisfaction that is unmatched!!"infact,i've always looked upto the team of SF'03 heads...Rana,Saket,Saunak,Satwik,Balan,PG...a deadly combo!!!and why i say SF'03 has been the best in recent history is that twas a 5 day fest...and was pulled off in great fashion.we tried our best to make SF'05 bigger and better...and even though we might have come close,we couldn't eclipse the memory of SF'03....
the lessons learnt from SF are for life...you face some of the weirdest situations ever....what do you do when you learn that the host for the fashion show can't make it owing to a bout of diarrhoea and the show is due to start in an hour's time...while lighting the candle during the inaugural evening,you find out that everyone had been so stupid to miss out on arranging for the matchsticks!!!
i would be missing those several nights spent in the gymkhana,missing the company of those whom i've worked with all these years...infact,i've had the pleasure of working with some of the Gods of SF....osama,dwivedi,podu,manas,apro,ssg,adi,shauryada,maxi,somani....the list is endless....i thank you all...
tis been a great experience...and for all that i am today,i owe it all to Spring Fest....the true spirit of youth!!!!
(P.S: there's perhaps lots more to share about SF,but that's best done over a mug of beer!!!)

all that i can say is that hard work you'd put in had to pay off :D. three cheers for aalu da :D
SF'03.. cant forget it !! A word to all final years.. lap up the last few days of the best time of your life.
abe aloo...really refreshed after readin ur blog...i've my own memories abt sf...and i tried to relive all of them this time...and i think that sf'04(my SF ) was the best. well anywaz we can certainly talk abt sf over mugs of beers...and i think we will ....:)
@reshma: in the next few days you would find this blogger sharing his experience of being at the helm of student affairs...
@whoami: hard work it was...and such compliments really touch the heart...thank you buddy!!
@ayushman: couldn't agree with you more...
@daku:you've been one guy whom i've missed all throughout SF'05...thanx for being by my side in SF'06...surely we'll talk bout SF and other things over mugs of beer in the near future!!!
a lot was expected from sf06, after seeing the unending tempo of alu da , but in the end i think sf05 was much better. Better luck for ur future alu da !!!
well ... i would rate SF 03 and 05 on par ... it was great effort both years!!
and ya ... kudos to you ... i know you have given a lot to SF ... rock on!
SF memories are probably the strongest you carry from your Kgp life... very aptly said, Alu :) Though I don't think you can say your association has come to an end... next year sanyas lene ka plan hai kya :D?
And then there's this thing about Alu and beer... I thought your preferences have changed ;)
hi aloo ... it was a pleasure to read ur blog and honestly it was no different from what i had expected ... crisp, heart-felt and to-the-point ... i agree with most of what u have to say except for the SF '03 part ... but then u have to accept that SF '05 will always be close to my heart :D ... after all improvements are the name of the game and i thought we gave KGP a whole new standard to look forward to with SF '05 ... but then that's history ... it would be hard for me to forget most of the times i had with u in SF over the years ... but then that's all we'll have to carry us through next year ...
Hey aalu.. Every end is the opening phase of a new begining..!! You have no idea of what the Future has in store.. and these memories will give you all the inspiration u'll need to keep going !!
All the best aalu..!!
