• 

After furious debate on the design, painstaking effort, and tons of laughter…

*Drum Roll*

The Core Chart of Umang 2012 is now complete.

Yesha and Shikha, the Creatives and Fine Arts HoDs, were in charge of preventing us from destroying the chart. Believe us, it was not an easy task.

At one point, Rishabh, our Technicals HoD (who – as we found out – has an unhappy relationship with paint), fell on a yellow paint can. At another, Akshat and Arnavaz fell right off the paints table with a mighty crash! The iNFORMALS! and MCA heads shared a rare moment of stunned silence.

Kruti, ever true to her post of Chairperson, directed all the action effortlessly. Yashmeet, our normally easy going Gaming HoD, was completely frustrated with Sahil Joshi’s befuddlement with drawing the lines. Computers and Workshops bonded (literally!) as Chintan’s face was stuck onto Wasim’s body.

Sansha, the L.A HoD, made VCP 1, Harini, take 20 pictures of hers and then proclaimed that she didn’t like any of them! Sohil and Harsh Patel’s iPhones were in demand every time someone wanted a picture and our P.R and PROshows heads, respectively, were only too happy to oblige. Vishal gave us sage advice from the corner as he sat engrossed in his laptop focused on bringing in lots of money to Umang through his Marketing.

Janani discovered her inner tattoo artist as she painted one on Akshat. Henna, Cafeteria HoD, mercilessly left us to starve as she sincerely painted across from Sahil Joshi who – taking a greater interest than Niket Shah – took 3 hours to paint ‘Printing and Stationery’! The Dance and Dramatics HoD then spent the next few days parading his ‘art’ all across the room.

While Harini bounced around the chart as if it were a trampoline, Zeeshaan, VCP 4 tiptoed around it, afraid to give Yesha a reason to let out one of her famous ear-piercing shrieks. Dhvaneel, our VCP 3, grimaced every time Shikha asked him to buy another bottle of paint. He foraged for little scraps of left over paper before he sanctioned a new chart paper!

Studying at home for IPCC, Harsh Doshi and Sahil Dewan, VCP 2 maintained a virtual presence with us, asking for pictures of the core chart on Watsapp and BBM, every 10 minutes. Ruchit and Riddhi were on the top of our minds as we tried to fit ‘Management∞Fest’ and ‘Riddhi Jasani’ into one line.

When it came to putting the chart up on the wall, everyone wanted to help!

What followed was a cacophony of shouted orders, startled shrieks, and one pained yelp as Hishit, the mighty Security HoD, managed to hit himself with a hammer!

Finally, after innumerable attempts, ever-so-whacked up ideas, and last minute brainstorming, the chart was up. There was a moment of complete silence as the Core of 2012 took a moment to look at their faces up on THE wall.

Here we are, Core 2012. Vibrant as the colours on the chart. Solid as the wall we’re on. United as those pictures on that black chart paper.

“Dare to dream.

Whether they are in colour or black and white,

No matter how big or small.

Go out there, put up a fight,

You must conquer them all.

Don’t stand there still and dazed,

For dreams are not meant to be followed, dreams are meant to be chased.”

From Five to Twenty Five
