The hibiscus flower blooms on campus: Delhi colleges get a taste of Squid Game
Hindustan TimesMany of us are waiting with bated breath for the second season of Squid Game, but DU colleges have gone one step further this fest season and included the wildly popular Korean survival thriller series in their rosters. For the cookie cutter game, where you have to trace out a circle or umbrella based on a drawing, we made cardboard cutouts of those and brought safety pins for participants to cut them with.” The attraction to the morbid but entertaining series has caught the fancy of the organisers of Shivaji College’s upcoming fest, Vibrations, too. “Naam dekhkar hi interest ban jata hai, and it plays a vital role in upping the participation of students vis-à-vis regular dumb charades,” says Anshaj Madaan, a final-year student of BCom and member of the student organising body. The idea is to feel less stressed about internals, end sem exams, life after college or anything else.” Watching recreations of Squid Game on Instagram inspired Manisha Singh, a final-year BA Psychology student at Lady Shri Ram College for Women, and the head of the college’s organising committee, to adopt it for their fest Tarang ’24.
