- Htcity@hindustant­imes.com

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi’s annual fest, Rendezvous 2016 was one helluva experience for those who attended. The band, Euphoria’s lead singer Palash Sen made the crowd shout ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and in quick succession announced, “We dedicate this show tonight to soldiers who are standing on the border. And for Pakistan we would like to say this (shows a fist).”

The band was performing for the fourth time at IIT, and Sen didn’t mind flattering the IITians apart from making them groove to his music.

The act of Euphoria was the highlight of day two and drew massive young crowd from colleges across the city, including Delhi University. Prior to Euphoria’s performanc­e, the vocalists of the band TMKC (Teri Music Ki Chahat) entertaine­d the audience.

On day one, street plays by various colleges and a beat boxing competitio­n kept the audiences’ adrenaline rush high. The fun factor was carried forward by Blitzkrieg — English rock band competitio­n. One of the performing bands The Forbidden Ritual, had an embarrassi­ng moment duringg Blitzkrieg, when its vocalist Shourya Mehta addressed the IIT Delhi crowd as “IIT Guwahati”. The error elicited some boos and jests from the crowd.
