Amalgam' 04 and Amalgam success party :)

When we reached our third year we were the batch who had the responsibility of conducting
Felicity 04-05 . But our profs(actually a prof) did not trust us so they told us to show our
might and so we did. We organized Amalgam'04. We made preperations for lots of batch-wise
events like solo,group dance etc and some skits too. It was real fun. There was also one
Qawalli that our batch mates (Paritosh (our cul sec), Gaurav and co were organizing) . I
too got inspired :) and joined them on the day we were supposed to perform.

The event started with the passing batch's (GDIT2K) skit which was awesome. One of the guys
in their batch became a girl and was really looking like a girl and other guys were trying
to patao him (her) . They finally ended with the Kaante song 'jaane kya hoga rama
re' and showed the nostalgic feeling that we have right now (we r leaving insti in few days).
Then other batches came and performed from 'IIIT's story' by 2nd year (Pati etc's batch at
that time - GDIT2K2) in which they showed how an avg student stays up at night and even a
guard does some form of research (IIIT being a 'research' institute) while sleeping in
nights. There was 'The matrix' simulation by some guys of I dont remember which batch but it
was MTech. Our Qawalli was appreciated by all, people went mad seeing the funny songs/acting
etc. It was real fun. After it got over we had few photo sessions of all the people of
our batch.

After Amalgam's success our profs got sure that we are capable enough to handle Felicity
well and so we were given the duty.

After Amalgam's success some of our batchmates got an idea of celebrating the success to
put more enthu in guys so that we could perform felicity better. So a celebration party
was organized at 'Planet 10' which is located around 2 kms from IIIT close to ISB.
There was middleware project submission the next day , still many people made it to the
party. We guys got together and had fun by playing games like aankh-micholi,
dumb-charades, eating Guavas from the trees inside the premises. The dinner was good enough.
We had a pretty good time there.
