Aitreya '11

Hail Srishti-ians,


The blog is becoming active after a really long time. But it's finally active.


So, we have our flagship event - Aitreya coming up in the next semester. Unfortunately, dates haven't been finalised. But, since we were able to finalise the list of events, we thought we might as well put it up. Here they are:

• Quiz
• Declamation
• Drama
• Block and Tackle
• Short Story
• Short Film
• Persona
• Spelling Bee
• Crossword
• Treasure Hunt

I guess most of those events are self explanatory or at least familiar to anyone in the literary circles. Let me explain those which are not all that familiar.

Block and Tackle - Oratory event. Given a topic, the contestant has to change his stance on the issue as and when the judge says "block" or "tackle"; "block" being for and "tackle" being against. Pretty hilarious to see the contestant go from one stance to another within seconds :D

Persona - It is a collection of events which has many rounds and is a very motley collection including shipwreck, a written round and others. The full set of events will be released later.

Declamation - Oratory event where you can dress up as a historical figure and emulate one of their famous speeches. Examples include Martin Luther King's "I had a dream" or the all time favourite Marcus Antonius' "Friends, Romans and Countrymen!" .

Keep track of the blog for updates and dates when registrations start.
