The Festival of Light: Celebration at GU Something new was launched for those X-minds who were neither a musician, dancer, scholar nor a writer, those whose minds were not in textbooks but in experiencing that is written in them. And on 7th Dec, 2012, a dream came true. A
Diwali celebration in Galgotias University was a splendid affair. As we celebrated Diwali here, we see refulgent colors all glaring inside us; Diwali invited us to home in on everything that can be eradicated with the incandescent power of light. Happiness glistening all around and going deep down our hearts came as a surge of beaming delights. We felt at home with people coming from whatever corner they actually emerged. It is with this sinewy zeal we went on to wallow in the vivacious cascades of fun filled performances. The celebration started with our Vice chancellor Prof. Ashok Saxena’s welcome address followed by various performances of both teaching and non-teaching staff of Galgotias University. The performers were Prof. Sham Tickoo, Prof. Balaji, Dr. Deependra Jha, Prof. Vashishth, Mrs. Vinnie Mathur, Prof. M. T. M. Khan (Chief Librarian, GU), Mr. A. G. Mathur (Registrar, GU), Prof. A. K. Jain, Prof. Bhim Singh, Dr. Dheeraj Sinha and Ms. Ruchi. The celebration ended with a fabulous performance given by Dr. Avadhesh Gupta. His comic poetry tickled the funny bone of the audience. Happiness was all around. Waves of delight spread all over, streaming along the flow of events as we took part in them. The fun and enjoyment quotient in the entire celebration was so high that everybody was seen in a jovial mood while wishing each other ‘A VERY HAPPY DIWALI!’. Diwali makes us latch on to is something that can only be contemplated beneath the shallow depths of our own effervescence. By: Anindita Sahoo, Assitant Professor, Dept. of English
