Utsav all the way!

Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!! Just five more days to kick start Utsav, and everyone in Manipal is buzzing with anticipation of what’s going to unfold on 5^th April.

There are so many things to do and so little time. We have to finish getting our costumes and props ready, need to finish choreographing our steps for our dance, fashion show, and the list is endless............

What is Utsav you may ask? Well it is a six day annual intra-Manipal University fest, in which over 20 constituent colleges of Manipal University will be participating. Every college has the aim of getting the highest overall scores in the competition and declaring to the rest that they are the best.

You will never guess the steps that people are taking just so that they can look good and perform well. I was just having a chat with a friend who is taking part in one of the events and she was cribbing about the things she has to do at all times. She has to keep a watch on her diet (which is very hard for her as she loves junk especially Mad Angles and chocolates), she has to wake up every morning at 6, just to go and exercise with her choreographer (and she is a person who usually wakes up just five minutes before class), then practice her dance for three hours in the evening. By the time she gets back she’s half dead and but wait, she can’t sleep as yet because of the assignments that she has to submit the next day. Though she has lost weight (which she loves and flaunts about!!) she’s just waiting for her performance to get over so that she can eat, breathe and sleep again.

Even those who are not participating are involved in some way or the other, some are helping out with the props, some are making sure people stick to the diet, and others are so excited that they are busy dreaming about it (more like looking forward to check out the hot girls and happening guys around).

All in all it’s going to be a show that you wouldn’t want to miss. It gets bigger and better every year (last year was humongous!!!). A fresher batch of people, with newer ideas, more exclusive themes, happier faces and much more to look forward to. So pack your bags wherever you are and head down here to catch up with the most happening event ever.
