Its Carnival time!

The college fest time has arrived in Mumbai. The Wilson College BMM fest ‘Polaris’ started today and the theme they have chosen is Carnival.

For the promotion of their fest a Carnival Parade was held on 10^th of this month. Wilson BMM students and faculty came out in full support. Ex-students also joined in. The students walked from Wilson College to Wilson Gymkhana. It served as a great PR exercise since many contingents participated in the Parade. They were dressed up as clowns or fairies or were in a completely different ‘colourful avatar’. Tricycles, Cycles and Victoria could be spotted in the crowd. Polaris mascot 'Polly' was leading the Parade. The success of this event raised everyone’s expectations from the fest.

Today, the crowd came out in huge numbers and many colleges participated. But, according to senior & ex-students the crowd has decreased when compared to last year.

The fest had a rocky start as one of the workshops got cancelled. The crowd became a little restless as no other event was taking place at that moment. Soon, the volunteers were able to pacify the crowd. The Radio event was a grand success. Participation was in large numbers and many supporters came in to support their contingents.

Since last few years, the ‘talent show type’ event in Polaris called ‘Showtime’ garnered a lot of praise and success. But, this year Showtime was scrapped. Instead of that, the dance event took place which was the last event of the day. The college hall was a little ill-equipped to accommodate all the contingents but, the crowd cheered for every performance making the dance event, the most memorable event of Day 1.

Day 2 also promises a lot of action including the new event of Polaris ‘Fashion Show’ and workshops by eminent media personalities. Let’s see how the rest of the fest shapes up.
