The session began at 4:30 pm with a
good crowd, a mild breeze and the afternoon sun setting on us, an ideal
atmosphere for interaction. As everyone took their seats, session kicked off
with a few questions for the audience, the answer to which was innovation. It
was followed by a quote 'Necessity is the mother of all invention' that holds
in the present society as well. Further discussion continued about what we can
achieve through an idea, as a portable water cooler i.e. our idea-> our
product; gives us both satisfaction and happiness.
It was now time for the platform heads to take the stage and
first up was Aavishkar. Inventions and their implementation in both hardware
and software sector was teased. Their flappy bird clone project was displayed
and it made heads turn!
The next platform was Laghuchitra which was a crowd favorite as it valued
indication. The real making of a short film was discussed, actors, directors,
editors, scriptwriters, dialogue writers, screenplay were all cross checked.
This got the crowd very active as they wanted to make sure that their fan bases
got their due support with frequent hoots and woohoos!
Creative writing was the next platform. The crowd was told how to draw a link
between imagination, creativity and desire. A poem which inspired the crowd to
write more was told by our platform head. Projects like IC2 library,
the magazine, online publication were teased.
Next up was Kalasrusthi. Arts and crafts, modernizing and drawing what you see
and making what you see come to life, the real meaning to the platform was
clearly depicted. The news that exhibitions and field trips would be a monthly
activity for the platform got everyone excited.
Mayavi talked about how you can't explain dreams but you make images and videos
do it, depict it through graphics. The platform looks forward to give picture
to one's deep inner thoughts and imaginations.
The next platform entrepreneurship gave us information about the tiny
difference between innovation and invention by taking a mobile charger as an
example. Pure genius! With this platform, an idea will be documented,
implemented and then you can make money from your thought process.
Now it was time for a small entertainment break. A thought
process game was played during the break to spark the nerves. It reminded me of
the Bollywood movie ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ for some reason.
The break was followed by introducing the induction program to
everyone present there. There was a debate that took place giving the freshers
a teaser of what's coming in the near future. During the end of the session,
audience was given more importance and few among them were picked up to give
their feedback on the session. The session ended with wise words of our Faculty Advisor. The session was adjourned to next Monday after announcing agenda’s for
Next session. Idea hour was reserved like a hot cake by four guys. It was a peaceful session that took place
without any interruptions and was a grand success!
