The SPANDAN Fever

Two days after its over I still thought about Spandan - conventionally a media fest of the institute but actually something very close to the heart of every VIPSian. This time also the fervor and spirit were quite high right from the beginning, a little flaccid work towards the start and then the more rigorous hard work towards the end. There were as always mixed emotions, fights, tensions, conflicts but there were also some new friendships budding between the people who hadn't known each other well before the fifth semester For me it was even more more special because for the first time in all three years I participated in a dance performance for the valedictory function. There were however a few disappointments on account of some nasty comments by someone but while thinking of the whole experience it was an enriching cum fun experience. Spandan taught me many things ranging from event management to dealing with people both socially & professionally. So on in all SPANDAN 2010 will surely be registered in my the few of wonderful memories of my college life.

Latest Trend in Bollywood

On a friday morning the first thing that I see in the newspaper are the new Bollywood flicks. So talking about Bollywood I got to think of some of the latest trends in Bollywood. Beginning with the names it has been increasingly a mix of Hindi and English that is hinglish - break k baad, love aaj kal, dunno y na jane kyu and a much more of english names rather than Hindi- crook, knock out, we are a family, action replay etc. Along with the mix & match names we also find an item number in almost every movie- munni badnaam (dabbang), shiela ki jawani (tees mar kha), tere ishq se meetha (aakrosh) for instance. These songs are not only there to spice up the movie but have become increasingly popular found buzzing in marriages, parties, dance shows and further on. The stories have become short and more urbanized. So we find that Bollywood is moving ahead and is definitely witnessing a drastic change from the 70s, 80s & 90s. Now it is there to see whether these trends get acceptance from the audience or would the Bollywood have to move back to the 'golden era' or discover something newer though.
