The workshop

The International Workshop on Riverfront Development was organised grandly, there were experts from fields and students from other institutes, and girls , cute ones, and  air conditioners and all, transforming the corridor into a convention hall. And they, guests had special food, while we made peace with the same old mess food. The 'international' part of the workshop was the same old white man from the Melbourne who will probably be stuck around here for few more days, and two online presentations through Skype, one from Iran, and the other from Germany, obviously I didn't have time for all those doses, so I just skipped the events till the cultural performances at evening. The band performed AR Rahman's Zariya, kinda messed it up with lack of syncing and poor audio mixing, followed by classical music inspired from Blah blah Usthad Khans, which again was ruined by an untuned Sitar and bass less Tabla. Nayana and her team finally rejuvenated the night with their classical - modern fusion dance. I was watching the reactions of the white man all the time, and he clapped only for the dance, though he remained almost poker faced all the while.

We were all already excited with our submissions getting postponed due to professors being busy trapped in the events. We kinda marched to the stage after the events and danced to Lungi Dance, and random songs while 5th years sang their heart out, until director had to call the volunteers to calm us down.

A memorable evening indeed!
