The other side of the Institute
One of the prime reasons that has made IIT Bombay the most sought after institute is its rich student life. Student life at IIT Bombay has evolved over the years, having been shaped by some of the brilliant minds of our country (our alumni). A major part of the student life on campus revolves around the balance of academics with extra-curricular activities. Cultural activities have always been an integral part of the latter. A stay at IIT-Bombay is surely going to teach you the importance of developing a hobby. Some of you might already be into cultural activities, which you perhaps pursue during your free time. But here, we have enough avenues to encourage the beginners and the rest too.
Well, look no further, the seven colors of the rainbow; the genres of cultural activities beckons you. Participate, learn, and evolve.

Street Performance in Bollywood Style
The 4th IIT Bombay Film Festival was held from 28th February to 2nd March.
The primary aim of the FilmFest was showcasing our film-making talent which was fulfilled by the unaccountable appreciation recieved from the students as well as the Celebrities. Even the unconventional pre-fest publicity, which included Live motion graffiti (We paint with light), street performance in Bollywood Style (Hazraat) or changing hundreds of Facebook profile pictures to Film Characters was fabulous.
This year we had an impressive line up which not only allowed us to interact with very talented and successful professionals, but also showcase the best of film making to the institute.

Nihilanth : A wonderful journey.
The Nihilanth journey was a good one. A fabulous one rather. It all started way back in the summers, when Omkar and Aviral started making the bid. This was no ordinary bid, one had to woo the most premier institutes in the country with this one. The standards had to be high, the quizzes par excellence, and the quizmasters special.

This year, a Street Play Workshop was organized under Paathshala, to introduce more students to the raw and pedestrian, by socially relevant and effective form of theatre, street play or ‘nukkad naatak’. A street play is very different from mainstream theatre, mainly because it is performed outdoors, and not on a stage. A street play usually targets a crowd in a public place; the actors perform with audience on all sides. It takes up socially relevant subjects, mainly the issues that plague the society.
The workshop was open for all, but it had a limited capacity of 20 students. The 20 students were coached by the popular actor Lalit Parimoo (of ‘Shaktimaan’ fame), and his associates.
The aim of the workshop, apart from training the students in the art form, was to build a street play production, which would be IIT Bombay’s entry in the Street Play Competition at Mood Indigo, IIT Bombay’s cultural festival, to be held in December 2012. The students worked hard with Lalit Sir, and finally, after 12 sessions, the street play was ready.
The team hopes to win laurels for IIT Bombay with their street play.
