As we entered classroom
403, we were welcomed by two pretty girls. The classroom had been rearranged to
have a look of that traditional Group Discussion semicircular table. All the
participants went over and sat in different places, waiting for their adversaries
and the judges to arrive. No sooner had they thought of this, Mrs. Ramya George
entered the room. Mrs. Ramya George, a teacher at SIES GST, a professional HRM
and soft skills lecturer was the judge of the day. Entering with a smile which
said a thousand words, she greeted all the participants. The two girls
explained the rules to the judge and the participants and thus began round one
of the group discussion.
Four participants were
called at a time and on a random chit basis, the theme as well as the topic was
chosen by the judge. Controversial, social, world and technical themes were the
highlight of the round. As we moved into the second round, a change of events
took us by surprise. A completely new innovative round had replaced the
traditional "GD". In this round, the qualified participants were
given a quote by a famous dignitary, freedom fighter, leader, etc. The
participants had to explain what they thought the quote meant. Some people had
bizarre ideas by reading between the lines while others stuck to the point. On
the whole, the second round was innovative and fun.
The last round was even
more creative with the organizers giving the participants a photograph to see.
The participants were told to describe the photo and what they interpret of it.
Each participant was given two minutes to speak. Eight participants had
qualified for the finals. But then again, there can be only one winner and that
was Adarsh Kumar Singh followed by Sandhya Murali and Emmanuel Francis who tied
for the second spot. The two girls took to the dais and thanked one and all for
coming to the event. Amidst a shower of praises and compliments, the two girls
went with the judge to see her off. Thus ended an extravaganza of creativity,
innovation and literature. A wonderful effort by Dharini Dutia and Kavya
Kumar.
