KRITVA 2005: The Annual Business Festival @ IMI India Post-event Press Release: 4:00 am, 6th March 2005. Groups of exuberant youngsters were sitting in the amphitheatre, reliving every moment spent in the past two days. The night was still alive with the refrains of "Kandisa", "Ma Rewa", "Bande" and other popular numbers from the famous band Indian Ocean. Kritva 2005, the annual business extravaganza at IMI, had just drawn to a close. Yet the scene was hardly so. The gala performance by Indian Ocean with their eclectic mix of folk, pop, reggae and jazz, had the audience spellbound and asking for more. And more they did have - what with Sherwood Forest, the DJ Nite. True to its name, the campus came alive with the merrymaking and gaiety characteristic of the nocturnal fiesta of Robin Hood and his band of merry men. Kritva 2005 kick-started on 5th March, 2005 with the HR event 'Excalibur' - designed to test the capability to catapult thinking prowess into the realms of brilliance - groups that can channelise the indomitable human spirit in their unbridled quest for excellence. This was followed by the 'Guerrillas Quizzoticas' - the general quiz - a battle of wits and intellect. The stock game 'El Dorado' then commenced, promising each team its own land of riches. The last event for the day was 'D-day', the business quiz. Hosted by Pranab Mukherjee, the quiz brought out the best in each team. The day also saw a variety of informal events - 'Antakshari', 'Dumb Charades', 'Mock Rock' to name a few. And before one could think of calling it a day, it was time for the DJ Nite 'Sherwood Forest'. 6th March dawned bright and cheerful. The day started with the Finance game 'Marco Polo', followed by the Systems game 'Kalinga' and the Marketing Game 'Aladdin's Bazaar'. Each event was an epitome of the undying spirit to fight and win, to rise above the rest, to reign supreme. Subsequently, the debate 'Empire Strikes Back' drew participants and audience in large numbers to the auditorium. The last event for the day was 'Shaolin', the Strategy game - the most important event of the fest. The informal events for the day were 'Farra Game', 'Whose Line Is It Anyways?' 'T-shirt Painting Contest' and the hilarious Mock Parliament 'Khula Manch'. IMI's annual extravaganza saw the participation of management students, corporate bigwigs and alumni from across the nation. The Rock Nite was attended by a 1000-strong crowd, screaming themselves hoarse as they sang along with Indian Ocean. Kritva 2005 has been a conquest, a triumph in the true sense, a raging success story. This reinstates the undying resolve of IMI to shine and outshine, to win over every heart, and to prove we are better than the best in the country. Concluded.
