Rendezvous'13 : IIT Delhi Fest- 2013

         IIT Delhi being one of the renowned premier institute in India for technology organizes a cultural fest called Rendezvous. This year it happened for 4 days and all were fully fledged with competitive events, pronites and lots of masti too. Competitive events included music, drama, quizzing, fine arts, fashion, literary, dance, digital arts, debating etc.. Pronites included many bands from various parts of India like Parikrama, Agni, Farhan Akthar live, Bandish. Hoobastank band from Hollywood also performed.

         The pit stop from various sponsors and the small games held by them to involve people and to promote their products added more flavor to the fest. Those include Force India, Wild stone, Nokia, Hero, Skull Candy, Bose and some more. These are the ones who contributed money to the fest. It is estimated that the budget for this fest is around 1 crore. Most of which is spent on bringing the bands.

         The only difference in IIT fests are the kind of contestants it gets are better and the amount of money it attracts is more than compared to rest of the Engineering colleges. The main attraction in this fest was Hoobastank and Farhan Akthar live concert. But there were many other programs which was well appreciated like Shankar Tucker orchestra, Qawali, Sufi Qawali, Parikrama band, Agni band and few more. Thanks to volunteers for making this possible.

        Personally, I enjoyed a lot. I got in 2 of my B.Tech friends to enjoy the occasion and they also enjoyed it well and appreciated. Since it was a first fest for me at IIT, it was a special one.
