With the fest fever already high in Delhi University, it’s now time for Kamala Nehru College to open its gates for the rest of the students. Scheduled to begin on 4^th March2013,Ullas – meaning exuberance – is aiming to live up to its name and some more. Spanning over two days, there are a plethora of activities and competitions to choose from,such as Horse Trade, a barter game organized by the Commerce society which puts your persuasion and bargaining powers to test.“A little sycophancy might also help,”adds Mahima Dayani, the General Secretary of the college.“Ullas is a culturally active fest and all the college societies are working really hard together to take this show to another level,” she explains. For the most sought-after event she says, “Definitely Glitz, the fashion show. We record the largest turnout every year for this event.” The societies of Kamala Nehru College are famous entities around the University and this time they invite you to their college to battle it out for amazing cash prizes and boasting rights. For the one with verbal diarrhea, there is Crossfire (English Debate) and Abhivyakti (Hindi Debate) to choose from. For the creatively inclined, there is caricature, Poster Making organized by Luminoso, the Fine Arts Society. The singers can battle out their baritones and altos at the various music competitions lined up. There are also Western and Indian Dance events, and for the walking encyclopedias, Inquizzitive (Quiz competition) is the perfectevent. There is of course Glitz, a fashion show competition famous for not just its clothes and a Celebrity Show. It is going to be two days of high spirits and big smiles. Expect a lot of drama, laughter and money flowing around. Also, there will be the delicious food stalls serving everything under the sun to whet your appetites. Offering a piece of advice, Mahima warns, “KNC is a women’s college so expect tight security and any violation of rule will not be tolerated.”Do not be deterred, just refrain from doing something which would lead you right out of the gates. Entry is through passes, which are to be purchased from the college. Mark your planners, folks!

Zoom into the campus central of Kamala Nehru College on the 13^th of September and you shall witness some adroit minds at work, some creative juices overflowing accompanied by a lot of numerical analysis floating in the air. In a situation like this let worry not overpower, for you are at the enthralling Commerce Fest of the college, named Commxcelsior to my extreme fascination.

As grand as it might seem, what is veiled behind the making of this fest is also pure grandeur. With an anticipated participation of more than 600 students from across the universities (as enumerated last year), this fest is soaring high to make a mark of its own. Their sponsors range from Haldirams and tupper ware to 104 FM and an array of others. If caught amidst a rare spurt of boredom, it shall be very short lived as you’d find yourself surrounded by the most quirky stalls of hair braiding, tattoos, tarot card reading and accessories along with some delectable food delights of Subway and others to satiate your hunger pangs.

Commxcelsior will be organizing five commerce centric activities to test the businessperson in you. Commencing at 10.30am with AD-MAD, which is an advertisement making competition, you could awaken your creative as well as marketing geniuses to grab prizes worth Rs 13,500 in a team of three. Simultaneously set to be conducted are some presentations depicting a Business plan on the theme of Social Entrepreneurship. This activity invites participation from teams of 2 members each, who will compete for prizes worth more than Rs 15000. Next is the most highlighted happening, a mock stock exchange taking place at 2 pm, called ‘Bulls and Bears’ that shall put your dexterous skills of sale, purchase and investment to check. Each team can have two members for this activity, and strive for cash prices worth Rs 15000. The same will be held alongside a Commerce Quiz, which shall be played with a partner where the team can gloriously display knowledge of the subject in text and in practice. Prizes up for take here are worth Rs 9000.The final activity shall be a group discussion at 2.30 pm that seeks participation from those willing to discuss Commerce related agendas, with a bait of Rs 6,500.

“It will be an enriching experience for all those who believe in thinking out of the box and conquering the world with their knowledge” says Upasana, the General Secretary of the Commerce society. So if you want some stimulating fun along with some gripping exchange of ideas, this is the event that you should definitely not give a skip.
