Waves, the annual cultural fest hosted by BITS Pilani Goa will be held from October 26-28. With a footfall of over 45,000 every year, it is one of the largest cultural fest in India. Every October, for 3 days, one is mesmerized by all the nights and fun-filled events and activities that take place. This year, the Waves 2018 team has acknowledged that magic comes in two shades and beckons one to Embrace the Shadows. Here are some pretty big reasons why one should be keeping the calendar free from October 26 to 28.
Professional nights – As the night approaches, all events take a break, for it is time for the most awaited Waves Nights! Be it English, Hindi or EDM night, the adrenaline rush is always high. Every year, well-known artists and performers, like DJ Miranda and Vishal and Shekhar, grace the stage and cast a spell over everyone. Dancing to the beats and the rhythm will certainly take one away from this world to a different one!
Versatile events – The pro-nights aren’t the only thing to look forward to. There are many different events scattered all day long (and sometimes, nights too!) catering to various genres. Searock, a war between bands, in-verse, poetry slam event, Natyanjali, show me the funny are just to name a few. While some of the events’ prelims take place before the fest, in different regions, some of them take place during this 3-day period.
Food - No event is complete without food, and Waves offers enough to satisfy even the most hardcore gluttons. Food trucks set up around campus from day one, with a variety of delectable treats. One can also compete in the hog-a-thon competition if the ability to eat incredible amounts of food is phenomenal.
Celebrities - In the past, Waves has had performances from celebrities like Nucleya, Amit Trivedi, Priyanka Chopra, Kalki Koechlin as well as bands like Indian Ocean, Parikrama, Blackstratblues and many more.
Creative works - Ever wanted to learn Origami or belly dancing? Waves hosts workshops like these and many others throughout the three days. It also organises thrilling activities like zorbing, laser tag, paintball in addition to informals which include Campus Roadies, flash photography and more!
With literary events, paintings and craft completions, trivia quizzes, a renowned debate tournament, dance competitions, music performances, and stellar nights, Waves has tried to accomodate every individual talent? For more detaails, visit www.bits-waves.org.
