Fundamental 2010 - the story till now

23rd July, 2009 : Selection of the Fdm 2010 committee

Five and a half months post Fdm 2009, it was time for the Fdm committee to be selected from the 2007-11 batch. Once again everyone was excited about the names that were going to be announced.

The ceremony started with Athira Rayaroth performing on Ashtalaxmi Strotam. It was a neat and graceful performance. The director of the institute, Mr. Vinay Mundhada then spoke a few words on fest and it's importance for our college. He also joked about this years opening dance dedicated to Laxmiji and not Ganeshji, in order to gather good money for the fest.

After an introduction to Fundamental by the director, the Deputy Director was invited on stage to announce the committee members' names. A gigantesque committee of 50 students was then called up on the stage.

The core team had put in immense hard work for a successful ceremony, and it did show because never before had such a selection ceremony taken place. Five months of slogging for an extraordinary committee, their committee; after all the whole batch was going to work as one for one big Festival that was close and dear to everyone's hearts, not only the 3rd years.

A la fin, the core team personally congratulated all the selected people. There were smiling faces and there were sad faces, all over again. The selected students' joy knew no bounds and they didn't no one important thing either, the essential and the real fact.....

.....that the amount of work that was supposed to be done in the coming months wasn't a joke. There was loads of work in store for everyone and a lot of pressure, anger, frustration and complications that had to be handled.

12th October, 2009 : Unveiling ceremony of Fdm 2010

Voila! Finally, the day arrived!

This was a day to remember, eagerly awaited with excitement and bated breath for months. The unveiling of the Fundamental 2010 logo and theme was going to be a flurry of activities and hence the anticipation was palpable.

The event started with a lively speech by, core team members Kshitiz Sharma and Shrutika Gupta subtly highlighting the soul of the logo – we CREATE, we DESTROY and we SUSTAIN. They duly acknowledged the sterling effort and perseverance of the committee teams for making the unveiling a reality.

This was followed by a modern day fusion dance performance by the second year students; excellently choreographed and bringing to life the essence of the theme and what the logo was about to convey. The event had reached a crescendo and had the audience desperately awaiting the moment of truth – the grand unveiling of the logo.

The spiral staircase was lined with the entire college cheering and clapping in gay abandon and there suddenly descended rolls of orange satin cloths gently unfurling and landing from the ceiling to the floor, the roar of the audience was deafening when suddenly yet elegantly the logo was unveiled in its magnificence for all to see, truly a mesmerizing effect bringing to life in all its abundance the soul ‘n’ spirit – we CREATE, we DESTROY and we SUSTAIN.

The day names were also revealed along with the logo and the theme, JOD TOD MOD, then went perfectly well with the soul of Fdm 2010. They hung from the ceiling too, above the lotus pond in a vertical line, one below the other, looking fancy and adding to the beauty of the college. Indeed, the college look like one of it’s kind and finally we could say that a design college was putting their hardwork into making something biggggggggggg and remarkable!

Fundamental creativity at it's best!
