‘IF FUSION BE THE FOOD FOR LOVE, LET IT PLAY ON’ - - A Talk Show & Rock Show

A Talk cum Rock Show, organised by APEX on November 18 at Vidya Mandir, left the students grooving to the latest as well as a few classic foot-tapping tracks and asking for more. The event started off on a comparatively serious note with celebrity icons Nondon Bagchi and Oindrilla Dutt talking about ‘Fusion - the Food of Love’ with Barun Das. The Talk Show was taken over by the Rock Band ‘Nucleus’ who simply had the entire APEX crowd dancing to their tunes.

September is the month to welcome the fresh faces of year at the institute and the APEXIANS did it amidst much fanfare. Neither the waterlogged streets, nor the cloudy sky or the intermittent drizzle all day long could dampen the spirits of the students and the staff members on September 21 and ‘Come September’ was once again a gala event of song, dance, humorous short plays and of course the ramp walk. Mayank Mohta of BBA and Adrija Das of MdBA respectively took away the Mr. and Ms Fresher titles for the year with their dance performances. The group performance on ‘Munnabhai MBA’ by MdBA II had the entire audience in splits. And last but not the least, a group performance by the senior students had the students grooving to ‘Kajra Re’. At the end of the day, there was a loud whisper in the crowd – ‘Gimme more…!’.

APEX in collaboration with Calcutta Management Association hosted a panel discussion on "Choosing One’s Own Career Path" at the Birla Academy of Fine Arts on February 25, 2006. A host of corporate hot-shots like Barun Das of Exide Industries, Rita Bhimani, the PR Expert, Siddharth Pansari of the Pansari Group of Companies and Anamitra Chatterjee of Price Water House Coopers spoke to a mixed audience of APEXIANS and external students. Dr. N R Banerjee, Vice Chancellor of BE College, Shibpur, moderated the entire event.

Amidst much funfair and merriment, The APEXIANS went for a day-out to the lush greenery and wide blue sky of the IBIZA Club on February 12, 2006. True were the claims of the officials at locale: at IBIZA even elders become like children. And that is just what happened to the students of APEX – they ran and pranced about and played and thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the sylvan settings. Of course food formed a very important part of the picnic and that too was highly satisfactory to the gourmets.
