I have served as the Cultural Secretary in my college and was entailed with the responsibility of managing our annual cultural fest, ECLECIA. I had this short term ambition of making use of this opportunity and taking ECLECIA to new heights. Now, I am sharing how I overcame the challenge of cancellation of the celebrity night of ECLECIA.
So, the event was planned on 15th April, 2015 and we had invited Mohit Chauhan for the celebrity night. Unfortunately, that day, Kolkata was hit by a storm as a result of which the stage got damaged. Everyone was disheartened by the fact that all our hard work might just go in vain, leave aside the amount we spent to invite Mohit Chauhan.
After the torrential downpour stopped in the evening, we had a team meeting about how we can move forward. So, we chalked out a plan and started repairing the stage with bamboo sticks. After completion of the repair, we had a big task at hand - removing the accumulated water surrounding the stage. And we had to do this manually as no water pumps were available. We had to get all the buckets from the college hostels and gather the students to accomplish the task. We also got sacks of sand to cover muddy areas of the field and the situation was soon brought under control. We worked as a team and were able to start the event on time. We all exclaimed a great sense of satisfaction after the success of the event.
