Play Time!

It's that time of the year when the future managers drop their books and don the greasepaint. After a successful revival of their annual public production series with Ayn Rand's 'The night of January 16th', the students of XLRI are back with 'Silence, the court is in session'. Produced by the Dramatics and Cultural Association at XLRI ( DRACULA) the play features senior and junior students of XLRI in Tendulkar's Marathi play translated into English.

The play will be staged at the Tata Auditorium in Jamshedpur at 7 pm on the 10th Feb 2007.

TAXI arrives

Fast on the heels of Kairali, TAXI had a unique programme. It was a special dinner and fun night with the faculty, their families, staff and students of Tamilnadu. There was interesting Tam Cinema quiz with mixed teams from the staff and students. This was followed by a sumptuous dinner at the MDP prepared by the faculty, their spouses and families. Soon after there was a song session which was eagerly joined in with buckets and guitars by everyone. Yet again we were dancing to the faculty's tunes. I guess when it's accompanied by good food no one complains!

Kairali Day

Regional committees on campus are on an overdrive- hosting dinner and cultural events like never before. The first few among the series included KAIRALI day, hosted by the folks from God's own country Kerala. Held on Nov 1st last year, the menu for the day included a brunch of Appams, Idiyappam and Chicken stew. There was a traditional banana leaf fare for dinner. Festivities started in the evening with the lamp lighting by Father Director and Mrs Suma Damodaran in front of the Pookalam <>. This was followed by the traditional ladies' dance around the lamp-Kaikottikai. The scene stealers, however were some special guests brought in especially for the occasion.
