Many such efforts ran aground at the main gate and other entry points Needless to say, some did get onto campus and into students determined to attempt levitation, leading to a few crash landings
While campus owls hooted and hunted apace, it was inspiring to see some people, who had gazed at celestial constellations from the prone in previous editions of Breeze, enjoying themselves in a healthy way, in their best senses, this time.
February also saw a change in seasons, as winter receded rapidly, earlier than usual. The campus is filled with colourful blooms and a delight to see at this time of year
Our new Student Council has hit the ground running and are champing at the bit to fulfil their manifesto promises We wish them all the very best.
UNO Night
UNO Night was E-Cell’s reimagined version of the classic card game, designed to be more strategic and engaging while still keeping the original fun intact. The objective went beyond simply finishing cards. The format ensured that the competition remained active until the very end. When a player finished their cards, they did not exit the game. Instead, they took over the deck of the player ahead of them, while that player stepped out. This kept strong players in the running longer and maintained intensity at every table.
Along with the standard UNO power cards like Draw 4, Reverse, and Skip, E-Cell introduced business themed twists such as Risk Factor and Obsolete Resources. These additions amplified the usual excitement of the game. Familiar moments of suspense were now layered with strategic decisions and unexpected shifts. Players had to think ahead, take calculated risks, and quickly adapt when circumstances changed.
The atmosphere throughout the event was energetic and competitive Students were fully involved, reacting to dramatic plays and closely following the progress at their tables. The mix of traditional UNO mechanics with new strategic elements made the experience both exciting and challenging
everyone together under one theme and one rhythm
