February 15th to 18th saw all Delhi roads converge at the same crossroads. Lipton Ice Tea ‘Crossroads’, the annual cultural festival that was organised by the Students’ Union of Shri Ram College of Commerce turned out to be a magnum opus. It featured the perfect blend of magical music, death defying stunt shows, fashion shows and celebrity stand-up comedy shows. With a footfall of over 50,000 students across the festival’s four days, this year’s Crossroads became India’s largest college festival! Celebrities like Zarine Khan, DJ Suketu, KK and Vishal Shekhar rocked the festival with their performances. Celebrity performances alike, Crossroads was inaugurated by PRAYAS, which is a social initiative in which 20 underprivileged children were taken for a historical tour of North Delhi. They were then treated to an entertaining yet educational puppet show. Interestingly, every aspect of the festival was taken care of in a very orderly fashion. The Students’ Union deserves a feather in their cap for excellent crowd management as well as for taking care of visitor’s requirements. The Crossroads website was well updated with all sorts of information that would have been required including ample information and details about the food stalls at the festival! Another notable aspect of the Union’s excellent management was the well-designed entry-exit plan. All sponsors were also taken care of very well including AOL CoolAge, which happened to be the festival’s online partners and Punj Lloyd, the festival’s development partners. The festival broke away from the notion that all Delhi university festivals tend to be unorganised and messy affairs. All in all, Crossroads turned out to be a grand success with loads of fun and great memories for each and every visitor that dropped in.
