Even as Spandan – 2017, inter-collegiate festival at JIPMER entered its fifth day on Friday, medicos geared up to compete at the art, culture and literary fields.
Fifteen participants dabbed paint on their partners face creating beautiful art work. Indulging their creative side, they painted on the face of the medicos.
They competed in making collage and staging plays at the campus. They did not stop just with the games and cultural events. Opportunities were also created to explore the literary knowledge of the medicos.
Aaromal Maanas, Public Relations Secretary, JIPMER Students Association, detailed the various literary competitions organised at Spandan – 2017. Besides debates, students had also played cryptic words where two-member teams had cracked the clues provided in the cryptic format.
Other competitions included adzap, variety show, T-shirt painting and sketching. On the fourth day, music bands from different colleges enthralled the audience with western music as part of Tinnitus – an intercollegiate western music competition. Classic Wild concert took the audience back to the days of Van Halen, Guns N Roses, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd.
Indie rock band ‘The Local Train’ won hordes of new fans after their concert at Spandan.
The last two days of the festival would hold competitions such as shipwreck, based on the premise that all the participants were on a sinking ship with only one lifeboat. Each participant would play out his or her character, and argue their right to the lifeboat.
