EQUILIBRIO 2K14- THE GRAND CLOSURE!
The entire day was mostly devoted to the final rounds of most events which took place over the past two days. The day kicked off with the Paper marble roller coaster event- Chute-the-Chute. It witnessed heavy participation of over 30 team of 4 students each. The much awaited talk of Mr. Shubhendu Sharma, TED fellow, followed soon after. Mr. Sharma spoke about a novel concept- 'Stop making lawns, and Plant a Forest instead!' The talk was witnessed by a packed audience of over 400, and was followed by an interview of Mr. Sharma by Glen Savio Palmer, the Festival Coordinator of Equilibrio 2014.
The talk was followed by final round of all the quizzes- Inquizitors, Sports Quiz, Vigyaan, and Incroyable India, all held in the auditorium.
The flagship event of Equilibrio, the land rover, started off at 2 PM, and had the finest examples of mechatronics in action. However, even the heavens shook to the rhythm of the Battle of The Bands, which started at 3:30PM at the open air stage. The bands performed with energy and fury, playing popular hindi rock numbers, sufi rock, as well as heavy metal tracks of Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold.
The event ended with a formal vote of thanks by Glen, Followed by heavy partying by the Students in the Fun zone Technozeala. The honourable director of the Institute Of Technology, Prof. Shailendra Kumar, congratulated the students for their efforts and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
It was a mixture of emotions for the equilibrio student team, happiness of having completed such a successful fest, and sadness of everything ending. Nevertheless, The zeal and fire to excell never ends, and will forever be on display through events such as equilibrio 2k14.
