This festival of Holi is undoubtedly the most fun filled and boisterous Hindu festival. It is an occasion filled with unadulterated fun, mirth and play and of course colours.
The evening started off with alumni members playing holi with their batch mates. All participants smeared colours on each other with a good deal of revelry and zeal. Colours were chosen by the Alumni Association – red, green and pink the selected ones. ‘Go green’ being an important message, the Alumni was particular about choosing it. Pink, conveying love was significant.
