Lit@H2

Lit @H2 iitb !!

So the end of another year of LIT, and I'm glad to say that this year was a happening year as far as the Lit department of our hostel is concerned. We have many awesome Lit seniors who will be passing out this year and surely we are going to miss them for the years to come. As of now, we are second in the LIT GC, and still have a chance of bringing the silverware home (though a very slim one). But we atleast need to seal the second position by putting up a good show in the last GC event to come. Tremendous enthusiasm was shown by the seniors in LIT over the past few months. Here is a look back...

Intra hostel Events:

Scrabble workshop:

The year kicked off with a scrabble workshop conducted by the most experienced in the department, Gautam Hazari. The event saw around 20 people (which is quite good, since the insti scrabble workshop had a turn out of only 15). The zeal with which the workshop was conducted & also the enthusiasm of the freshmen was just amazing, with all the bachchas learning the tricks of the trade in the process.

Scavenger hunt:

Without any doubt, this was the biggest event of the semester. Planned by Audi & Ghaza who conceptualized the event completely, it was a great hit in the hostel. The hostel had never seen such a ambiance before for any event. In th event points were also kept for the costumes that the teams were in and the judges were awe struck by the ideas that the participants came up with for their costumes some of them being, bandaging the whole body with white tape to resemble a mummy, some gargoyles etc etc. Another highlight of the event was that a team actually managed to get a real bone which was asked for in the list. We had nearly 80 participants in the event the maximum i guess in all lit events.

Rebuses:

With open rebuses close by, this event was held in lieu of passing on fundaes to the junior batches. Saddy and Ghaza had come down to help out with the event which saw nearly 50 participants ( a lot more than expectations, i should say). A decent show was put up by the teams, considering it was their first time.

Quiz Week:

this year a new initiative taken was conducting a Quiz week, which comprised of 3 quizzes (Logic, Sports and gen) over the week.

Logic Quiz:

A quiz which is very popular among seniors as well, saw a really good senior participation with nearly 4 senior teams participating in the event. Surprisingly though it was a freshie team who bagged gold in the event just edging past OD & Chadda's team. A healthy competition was visible between seniors and the freshmen

Sports Quiz:

A relatively less popular quiz which obviously saw lesser participation than the Logic quiz ( an exponential dip in senior participation :P). But none the less, it was enjoyed by the participants

Gen Quiz:

Last but not the least was the mother of all quizzes, Gen Quiz. Set by the Literati Convener himself, it was a big challenge for the participants, which some of them managed to clear in style.

Inter Hostel Events:

Creative writing:

The first GC event of the year, where we managed to bag the third spot in English section because of Karthik Shekhar. Though we didn't get any points in the event since there was a tied second in the English section.

Sports Quiz:

An event in which a sophie team was sent (due to lack of seniors, but I'd like to call it giving an exposure to the hostel future, no offense Sophies :P). We couldn't manage to qualify for the finals. We just missed out by half a point. None the less a good experience for the new generation.
