Bennett University held its fourth fest on 14th of February 2020, Uphoria 4.0. A plethora of performances took place. The performances ranged from classical dance to popular numbers and songs were sung. The theme of this year’s Uphoria was ‘Surreal’. The stage was set up and so was the lightning. There were food stalls, offering delicious delights.
The celebrations started off with the lamp lighting ceremony by our chief guests’ Mr. Milind Padalkar, Dean of students affair, Mr. Ramesh Rawat Kotak Mahindra sponsor and Vice Chancellor, Raghunath K Shevgaonkar. The lamp lighting ceremony was followed by a mix of various classical art forms like Bharatanatyam and Kathak dance by the dance society of the college. The Vice Chancellor of the college said a few very motivating words, he said, “Whatever may happen don’t lose hope you all have worked very hard for this, some mishaps may happen don’t let that affect you.”
The two main emcees of the evening were Karan Beniwal, second year Journalism and Mass Communication and Navneet Singh, first year Journalism and Mass Communication student both of these emcees kept the audience excited and happy with their slapstick comedy. As the fest was on valentine’s day they managed to pull off a parody on it.
