“When in doubt, wear red.” These lines by Bill Blass had a contrary meaning thisValentine ’s Day at Bennett University . Instead of doubt, red shone bright for love.
Panache, the University’s fashion club, set a colour-coded attire for the day, where couples wore red, those who weren’t dating wore white and people whose relationship status was complicated wore black.
“This day marks us knowing each other for a whole year”, said Altamash Alam, a B-tech student, while holding hands with his girlfriend Tanisha Singh. “The fact that we are each other’s firstValentine makes it all the more special”, Tanisha said. The lovebirds dressed sharply in red for the occasion.

However, the couples in red were not the only ones who stood out. People who weren’t in a relationship also looked happy in white. “I am single and ready to mingle”, Ojas Jaiswal said while laughing with his friend Ashna Santhosh. The two celebrated the day eating their favourite food at the University’s outlets.

The exciting dress code was not all that was in store for the students. Ruhaniyat, a sub-segment of Alexis club, organised 'Let it Out 2.0' which allowed students to send letters anonymously. “It doesn’t have to be romantic love and you don’t even have to reveal your identity,” Mansi Tibrewal, a core member of Alexis, said.
The letters were delivered with a candy stuck to it. Despite the fact that Valentine’s Day focus is always couples, 'Let it Out 2.0' provided a means to send a letter to your friend or acquaintance. The idea behind the event was to celebrate all kinds of relationships, be it friendship or courtship.
