Quarks 2013, the annual fest of the Physics Department, Hindu College, held on 19th and 20th February, was indeed full of as much vigour as promised by the various posters put up all over the campus.
After a welcome address by the Head of Department, Dr. Sanjay Chauhan and president Vikas Taleja, there was a highly knowledgeable lecture about the Higgs Boson by the chief guest, Dr.Brajesh Chaudhary from the department of physics and astrophysics, Delhi University. Events like origami competition, poster-making, face painting, quiz and treasure hunt kept the students hooked. Another interesting event was the ‘Innovative Experiment’, in which participants had to construct a motor-less car.
The main attractions of the fest, however, were the western dance competition in which Daulat Ram bagged the first position, with Kamla Nehru College coming second,
and the street play competition organised by Fever 104 FM. It was a part of the newly launched campaign – Stop. Think. Connect. – India, which is the first of its kind collaboration of four internet giants – Google, Facebook, Kaspersky and Microsoft, in association with Data Security Council of India – with the theme as Internet Safety. The first position was shared by Hindu College and Sharda University, with each team winning 25 grand.
The fest was a huge success and enjoyed by all present.
