Dandiya night at SPJIMR 27.09.06 19:00- 22:00 hrs
Beyond the colors and vibrancy of “Navratri” there exists a deeper meaning that signifies the dissipation of ignorance within the "self" using the lamp of knowledge. Sincere devotion yields strength to surmount obstacles with the aid of Durga Ma, bestows wealth to lead a prosperous life with the blessings of Sri Lakshmi and enriches knowledge to do away with ignorance with the help of Devi Saraswati.
At SPJIMR, a new dimension was given to this colorful festival with the advent of “DANDIYA NITE”. Cultural and Sports committee of PGDSM MIT, the “ColosSeuM” embarked on a sparkling initiative of organizing a night exclusively at Bhavan’s cricket ground for dancing to the tunes of traditional Garba and Dandiya music. We also had Dr. Thomas T. Sheehan, Director of MIT-India Program of Virginia Tech, as a special guest gracing the occasion. The event started off with a traditional lighting of the diya by Dr.Sheehan and Prof.Sunil Rai, Joint Director of PGDSM MIT program of SPJIMR.
“Dandiya Nite” indeed served as a colosseum bringing the participants of various programs (PGDBM, PGDM and PGDSM MIT) together under the umbrella of fun, colors and spirit. The ladies were looking their best in ghagra cholis and the men were dapper in their kurta pyjamas adding to the spirit of tradition and culture amongst youngsters.The air was not only filled with foot tapping Dandiya numbers but also with the aroma of mouth watering food items. :-)
And this is not all. Outstanding outfits and graceful dancers were also recognized and awarded.The award for best Attire was given to Rachna Shah of PGDSM MIT02 under the category for girls. Punit (PGP-1) and Maulik (PGDSM MIT03) shared the awards for the same under the category for men. Gaurav (PGP-1) and Kirti (PGP-1) bagged the award for best dancers. As always, all good things come to an end. Yet this was not the culmination but the beginning of unity, togetherness and fun for the participants of SPJIMR.
Kudos to CoLosSeum for the wonderful effort and cheers to all SPJIMR participants for making the event a grand success.

"Unity" - the theme behind the dandiya night emerged out to be a mega success. CoLosSeum made a triumphant starting with a bang on start up for uniting the entire family.
"The ice is broken now"
It always kept buzzing in my mind, how an invisible barrier could be created when we "share the same environment, same attitude"?
The overwhelming response of PGP and PGPX people is what made me prove myself wrong in the sense that it was not the barrier which was the problem but it was the verbal gap which no one addressed properly.
CoLosSeum .. Thanks for proving me wrong.. Also thanks to my friends from other batches to whom the real success goes !!!
If I say its PGDSM MIT rocks, I am wrong...
SPJIMR rocks !!!
