What NOT to do this ENGIFEST

For every event that we attend, alluring phrases and catchlines rouse our interest. “Join us for end-
less fun”, “A night full of fun awaits you”. What is meant by “endless fun” and a “fun filled night?” We
live in the 21st century, where technology often gets the better of us. It so happens that we often find
ourselves too involved in our fancy five-inch smartphone screens to experience the thrill first hand,
even though we are physically present in the right place at the right time.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, it is important that we let our devices cool off for a while. At times, we
find ourselves making use of our excellent front camera to click a graceful selfie. After having admired
the picture which was enhanced after testing over twenty filters, we finally look up to witness the
crowd falling into a fit of laughter over a punchline that the star comedian had been preparing and
practicing for over a month. Instant regret swarms over us for not having paid attention earlier. We
turn to our bystanders for aid, but a winding pain in their abdomen prevents them from helping us
out. In turn, the only resort is to laugh along, clueless about this sudden outburst.

It is better to lay off our smartphones for a few hours. Keep them safe in our pockets, so that we
can dance and groove as the DJ spins his records. Dance like we’ve never danced before, shed the
so called inhibitions, stop worrying about sharing instant updates and have no restraints. When you
watch the stage light up first time, rather than through a screen, infinite pleasure will overcome you.
Because this time, it’s bigger. It’s better. It’s infinite.
