IT’S LA-MENTARY




One year ago, after being grilled (and somewhat terrorised) in our interviews, I began my journey as a coordinator for Kaleidoscope. I had no idea what lay in store for me and was thrown headfirst into the chaos we’ve come to know so well and love as Kaleidoscope. Despite the insanely long days and stressful phone calls in the middle of the night, I missed it the moment it was over. The instant the withdrawal symptoms began to ebb, however, it was time to start preparing for Kaleidoscope 2015.

Now, it’s that time of the year again and everybody’s gearing up to say Namaste to Kaleidoscope.  Team LA is just as excited as everybody; needless to say, the act of sacrificing one’s soul for the holy ‘K’ has already begun. You can tell by the number of workforce members glued to their phones and laptops!

A desi tadka makes everything better and we are trying our best to make this year even more special. So, don’t forget the water balloons! This year, LA-K will take you right back to the 90s and to the glorious phase of life known as childhood. Who doesn’t love a water balloon fight or a treasure hunt? Combine the two and you have LA-K!

JAM, one of the most popular events at Kaleidoscope, is back! It’s all about the words, yaar! We hope you’ve armed yourself with enough of them or else, you’ll be forced to pack your jholas and leave. Puns and wordplay, as you can probably guess from the title, are always appreciated. Let the battle of the wits begin! Bring along your thinking topis and your dancing kolhapuris and remember that nothing beats desi jugaad!

Along with our interesting flagship events, we have poetry writing, story writing and essay writing events. So, get ready to unleash the poet or the writer within you. Let your desi identity out and be prepared to encounter everything that makes you so unique, from your favourite Bollywood dialogues to that ridiculous jingle you simply cannot get out of your head. Hop on aboard the local train hurtling through Sophia College this September, which goes by the name of Kaleidoscope.
