Come take me away
I am tired of running
running from myself
hiding my true self
I want to be free
and search myself again
I am like a lost child
lost in a myriad,
trying to survive,
fighting from my own self.
For how long this battle will continue
I dont know.
Wise men say its eternal
But do i have strength
and courage to fight alone
I lost the alchemyAlchemy
to turn my dreams into reality.
But no,not yet,not so soon.
I cant fall,cant loose
I have to rise and fight
even if it goes till eternity
This is what my heart say
But can anybody hear
talk of my silence.......I wonder!!

Shocken Cult
It apparently appears that we never were in the Soc n Cult GC race.
Lit: Huh!! Finally, we have something to cheer about. With a couple of events left, we have registered our opening lit points, but on a high note. It’s a Gold in inter halls WTGW, for the third time in a row. Hats off to captain Rushin. Let us hope that this legacy continues.
Drams: The play ‘Johnny and Urvashi’ just missed out on the bronze in inter hall English drams, and ended up fourth. Amit Mantri played the lead character ‘Johnny’ and was directed by none other than ‘Nangto da’. Swarnavo bagged the best director prize for Bengali drams.
Ent: The inter hall western instrumentals didn’t fetch us any points either. However we have western groups coming up.
Fine arts & Modeling: Even our first fine arts and modeling points were registered this semester with painting and postering. We won a silver in painting, with Subhojit Chakladhar being awarded the best painter. Postering team also put up a nice performance but unfortunately couldn’t win any prizes.

Sports Saga
Sports has always been a forte of RP hall. With only aquatics, water-polo and athletics in last sem, a lot has happened till now. But the opening events this sem haven’t added to the sports GC chart.
Cricket: Though we qualified for the second round in the inter halls we didn’t fare well in the second round.
Hockey: We ended up fourth in the inter hall hockey tournament. In the semis against Azad, the game remained undecided till the end of stipulated time. But the penalty shoot out (4-2) ruled us out of the finals.
Techies Ruled
Currently we are leading the tech GC by 72.5 pts. At the start of this sem we were 2nd with a lag of 2.5 pts. A Gold in Chem Innovation, changed the scene. The chem. innovation team worked continuously for 24hrs, the total time allotted, for this gold.
Festive Season
Spring Fest 07 added another pleasant chapter in the history of Gymkhana. Taal, Pal, Kavi Sammelan, Anubhav were some of the star studded attractions for the junta. Shibani Kashyap and Band of Boys set the mood for the fest on the inaugural day. This was later carried on successfully by Shaan. Though there were some people not content with the Taal show, the starnite by Shaan was unanimously an enjoyable one. Kavi Sammelan was a huge success. Netaji was more than completely filled just before the start of the show. The audience had a wonderful panel of ‘hasya kavis’ entertaining them continuously. We even had a wonderful Indian classical ‘raga’ evening by Amaan and Ayaan Ali, famous Sarod players.
Kshitij ’07 had something more in store to offer compared to what it had for past couple of years. It changed the whole perception of ‘junta’ about Ktj. If numbers be a yardstick, Ktj was a huge success. Kgp was flooded with participants from different colleges. Shows like Sand Animation, Juggling Show, Guest lecture from Mr. Rakesh Sharma, Dr. K. Kasturirangan , Alyque Padamsee and Kevin Warwick attracted large crowds. The pyrotechnique show had almost all Kgpians surrounding the TSC but a slight drizzle before the show prevented it from living up to junta’s expectation. There was a constant buzz for three days in the Robotix arena.
Well the the fests have ended and so has our mid semester exams.
We do have lots of inter hall events, coming up this month in all the three cateogaries soc n cult, sports and tech. Together with this we will also be celebrating our hall day. So guys don’t fail to cheer up your hall team and assist them give our opponents a torment of the lifetime. Wishing all the boarders a very best of luck and a fun filled semester ahead.
