Felicity 2004: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR FELICITY 2004

The reason fests are organized is so that students can get a break from their bed-to-books routine; and this is one of the popular myths. When the whole year is classified as a normal party zone, these fests are classified as a freak-out zone. For most students, at least.

Have feet; must dance. Have brains; must use. Everyday, we encounter many types of people. Most of them fall either in the first category or in the second. Here is an event being organized by IIIT, whose students are famed to be hailing from both the categories. The last 2 months have had a large number of fests in the twin cities, and this one is sure to attract the largest crowd. After all, it's IIIT. Even if you don't know who they are, they sound like IIT, and that is enough to make whatever they do, news.

With a series of events lined up and the topping of the ice cream being the celebrity event, this is promising to be a happening college event for this year. The list of all the events taking place here are: -
