K writes to the workforce of Kaleidoscope 2015.

 Namaste, workforce!

For the last 30 years, you girls and your foremothers have churned out theme after theme of absolute creative ingenuity, but this one takes the mithai. The kurtas and jhumkaas, kya baat! Also, you have no idea how jelly folks are of my mega fabulous cycle rickshaw here in the universe of college fest mascots. Super convenient and eco-friendly, too.

The fest is a little more than four whole months away, but the kind of work you ladkis are doing makes me feel as proud as Karan Arjun's Maa upon their return. In spite of it being holiday time, and with most of you busy with internships or travel, the dedication with which teams are going about their duties is undeniably commendable. Jug jug jiyo, betiyaan.

I cannot wait for September, to manifest into your world of colourful paisley and cutting chai, and get my dancing Kolhapuris on. I'm dying to live all that you've got planned for those six days (haha, pun) and I know for sure, that it's going to be one hell of a mazedaar experience.

Because desi you rollin', they lovin'.

Signing off now. And remember to keep cool in this blistering, godforsaken weather by eating plenty of golas. My favourite is kala khatta, and yours?

Bahut sara pyaar and dulaar,
K.

Beta, Ye Kaleidoscope Kya Hai?

Yes, a kaleidoscope is that tube thing that we all used to make in school which shows you pretty patterns when you rotate one end while looking in from the others. But, the Kaleidoscope that we have here is much more than just pretty patterns. Kscope, as it is fondly called, is a phenomenon that occurs once a year on the campus of Sophia College in Mumbai. A massive melting pot of events, competitions, food, music and games cooked to perfection with just the right amount of love and garnished with energy that you won’t see anywhere else is how we would define this phenomenon.

But wait; let us start from the beginning. Exactly thirty years ago, an intra-college event consisting of literary, artistic and cultural contests was combined with a fete including game and food stalls, and viola! The first ever recipe of Kaleidoscope was born. From then on, each subsequent year the participants as well as the organizers kept adding more and more and now we can safely say- we started from the bottom and now we here! Come and experience the love for yourself on the the 5^th and 6^th of September this year! Oh, and say Namaste to Aunty and Uncle.
