Pehel 2012 - An Initiative !!!
Pehel - An ongoing tradition in IIMB PGSEM - An event organised by fresh incoming batch of PGSEM students every year for seniors, and not vice-versa. We first came to know about this tradition from our seniors - Anupama, Gokul, Vijay & Prabir during PGSEM 2012 Orientation.
Since all of us were nascent in IIMB and upcoming task was to organize an event for seniors, our seniors guided us really well with all logistics and planning. Their guidance helped us streamline the preparation for the event. Love you all seniors, without you we couldn't have done it so entertaining and GRAND SUCCESS (I believe so and most of viewers I believe will agree). ;-)
The event date was decided to be held on 14th July 2012.
The preparation started with formation of various committees for specific tasks. There were committees for fund collection, logistics, design, songs, dance, skit, comparing and other activities. We went ahead with T-shirt route for fund collection, as done in past. Main requirement for finalizing the event date was that it should happen only after the DML (Director's Merit List) was ready. Once DML list was ready and availability of Director & Auditorium was confirmed, we set 14th July 2012 to be the D-day for Pehel 2012. Before the D-day, many events related the organizing had taken place like T-shirt distribution, practice for various acts, teasers and invitations, etc. Don't want to bore you all with those details...Lets move to the D-Day directly.
Finally the D-day was there, most of us did final preparations for performing, of course, after the classes. Once Auditorium was available A/V and other logistics were checked, so as to make sure everything was in place. Guests started trickling in & the event started.
Event kick started @ 6 pm, with a welcome to guests. Formal event started with speech by our director Prof. Chandra's, our chairperson Prof. Ramesh Kumar followed by Prof. Agarwal. After that, DML awardees were accoladed by the director. We had a Hi-Tea break between formal and informal events, thanks to the PGSEM office for that.
The informal event kick started by an amazing performance by Anu's kids (Aditi & Pranav) - Simply Priceless during the duet song by Chandni & Abhesh - "Laddki Kyu Najane Kyu, Ladko se nahin hoti".
Pranav & Aditi - Rockstars in Action
Dance - I never thought we could have pulled it off so well. Audience were spell bound with it. It had many tracks "Terre Bina Bhi Kya Jina", "Humara Bajaj", "Chalo Ishq Ladayee", "Kolaveri Di" & "Rum Rum Whishky". It spell-bound the audience both with comedy & simply splendid performance. Waiting for someone to share video. Video is worth more than any words.
Melodious solo singing by Chandni touched everyone's heart.
Skit - every time we rehearsed our dialogues were different. Specially just a day before, on 13th July night, we started seeing changes in dialogue for Dr. Silent Singh, Aamir Khan, Baba Ramdev, Media representative. So the Skit's troupe were on the stage with just one practice of the final dialogues. It went well, hope it succeeded in entertaining as well as in provoking some thoughts w.r.t. the issue of corruption.
Skit Intro - "Gaddhe Mein Bharat"
Skit Climax - "Gaddhe Mein Bharat"

Audience were engaged through out the show thanks to splendid MCing by Pehel 2012 Masters-of-Ceremony - Anshuman & Swati.
Group song was a perfect ending for one of the finest evening @ IIM-B, with our friends & family in IIM-B. Followed by delicious dinner in MDC, thanks to PGSEM office.
