Guess what’s charging up the city’s youth? College Festivals! It was indeed a sigh of relief for students barring the exam season and extra-long classes following the various Telangana bandhs. From setting up stalls and the stage, to designing posters, from registering students to various activities and competitions and coordinating each of them are a part of any college fest and students put in that effort to make it memorable. Even students of St Joseph’s Degree and PG College, King Koti put up a great show with their fest — Josephiesta-2011. A splurge of inter-college competitions and festivals began with about 2,000 students from over 80 colleges across the city participating in the festival. The first day of the two-day festival had various competitions from singing, dancing, Share-bazaar, Electromania, Mystery in Chemistry, Robotics, Mr and Miss Elite, Hyderabadi Tadka- a cooking contest, poster designing, AD-MAD and Commerce Antakshari among others. Principal Rev Fr Dr VK Swamy and vice-principal Sunder Reddy also participated actively helping students coordinate events and made announcements. “I am very happy with the way things have turned up today. Students look so happy and chirpy and they are enjoying it here," said Father VK Swamy, principal.One more interesting aspect of the festival were its 'corridor themes'. Every corridor of the college building had a dedicated theme. Like the Bollywood corridor, with posters of various actors, dialogues stuck on the walls, the eco-friendly corridor with everything about nature in it, one corridor for celebrating Indian tradition, where colourful saris and dupattas along with mirrors adorned the walls and the last corridor for teenage problems, where every problem affecting a teenager was written about. Ankit Jain, an organising committee member explained, “We were about 25 members in the core committee and about 200 volunteers from different streams of the college came together to put up the festival. This is our first time, and we are all very excited.”“To make it more memorable, the batch 2009-11 have made a poster with pictures of almost all the students in it and we will keep it always as a memory of our days in college,” he signs off
