The first day of the IIT Delhi annual fest was
as grand as was promised, with people
trying to enter even after the main
performance had ended.
The amphitheatre was jam-packed with
students climbing trees and scaling the
boundary walls because, like they said
here, 'This was an experience you couldn't
afford to miss'. The crowd kept chanting
for the band Hoobastank during the earlier
performances also, but when asked about
their favourite Hoobastank song, other
than The Reason, everyone was clueless. A
quiz that the emcees conducted during set-
up also had to be stopped midway because,
well, no one had the answers!
But none of this had any effect on the
energy of the crowd when the band finally
came on stage. What caught our eye were
the big shaadi wale fans that were
especially added to the stage right before
Douglas Robb, Chris Hesse, Dan Estrin and
Jesse Charland from Hoobastank started
performing.
The band had everyone in the crowd
screaming along, even without much
'lyrics knowledge'. DSLRs and fancy phone
cameras were out all through the
performance, and the crowd recorded their
bit and clicked themselves with Hoobastank
performing in the background. In fact, the
band members too, who were all superbly
impressed with the IIT crowd, made the
students raise their hands and pose for
their own pictures, which they uploaded
on their official Twitter page with the
caption, "Say hello to our new friends from
IIT in New Delhi!"
