After having successfully organised Bitotsav for the last 27 editions, it’s once again back with its 28th edition. The annual inter college cultural fest of BIT Mesra, Ranchi, is an exhibition of all forms of art that celebrate the spirit of youth. The five day extravaganza is organised by the concerted efforts of the students and the administration, and Bitotsav’16, is set to unfurl from 16 to 20 March, 2016.
The theme for Bitotsav’16 is a throwback to the time when comic worlds began to take form. Going by the name of ‘Infinity Earths: Comics Come Alive,’ the theme highlights the fest’s intention of unearthing the mysteries of comic lore, and bringing together a vast majority of youth with a shared interest in the world of comics.
A number of events based on the theme have been periodically released through the social handles of Bitotsav, and have successfully grabbed the fascination of the audience. For instance, the trivia on Indian and Western Comics, that sought to divulge little-known secrets and interesting facts about comics from across the world, were received with much wow and enthusiasm by the followers. Tempting online submission events like #MySuperhero and #MyBitotsavLogo have been put out to play too, to ensure the involvement of a wider portion of the population.
The power of comics will continue to work wonders as the fest kicks off to a start, with days jam-packed with events and nights full of fervour and ebullience. Out of a host of events that are poised to bring to life the superhero within you, some of the main attractions are Tottle in the Town, Comic Strip, Hulkathon, Laser Tag and the Comic Coder. While Tottle in the Town will prompt the Joker inside of you to a test of drama, Laser Tag will put you up for a real superhero fight on ground. As you glide across the spectrum of genres that the events have to offer, you are sure to be left bedazzled and energetic at Bitotsav.
The comic-head within you will be catered to by the events of the day whereas the nights will set you on a roll as you unleash the gamer that is dying to snipe a shot at his opponent, or save a mythological building from destruction. Be a terrorist in Counter-Strike, a mighty creature out of the legends of DOTA, strike a perfect goal off the mid-field in FIFA, or overspeed your opponents to victory in Need for Speed.
In association with the comic partner ‘Pepperscript,’ Bitotsav strives to leave no stone unturned to paint the minds of its followers with the chrome and thrill that surrounds the ever-expanding world of comics. Apart from all the fun, Bitotsav will try to save the world by promoting awareness about cancer, thereby being superheroes in real life as well, and staying true to not only their theme, but also to their social responsibilities.
