A HUGE, overwhelming, awe inspiring welcome thrown by UT yesterday! :)
The usual rigmarole with beckoning speeches, welcoming Profs, preachy DEANs was followed, embellished with encouraging quotations, assurances of greatness and promises of a brilliant future!! (Much like an IIT orientation :D)
But what was new was the festivity, the overflowing pride, cheering, friendly rivalry between different colleges! colours..lights...music...huge Cowboy Hats!
There was orange flowing everywhere, proud Longhorns hooking their horns :)......beautiful cheerleaders and their bright pom poms onto their entire dance routine!
A gargantuan band, Bharatnatyam performance, acapella songs, choir groups, electric guitars, country to rock music!Banners, on field war cries, flags, horns :D, and the UT tower resplendent in orange and the Texan flag flown from its top!Despite my being a MaTka now :p.... huge music fests, college crowd, competitions, youth, screaming is still very much a part of my life!!
And for all my misgivings, UT seems a nice place :)
