cultural festivals: iim a and iim b

jan 30th, 2009

i believe iim ahmedabad's cultural festival chaos09 is going on now and that iim bangalore's festival unmaad09 is about to kick off tomorrow. 

the former started off yesterday with a concert by hari prasad chaurasia. 

the latter is starting tomorrow with a concert by somebody named kk (kk? must be a familiar name to the young) on the 31st. see the following link for details: www.unmaad.com

i do like the word unmadam or as the hindi guys say, unmaad. so it is un-mad, but it means 'mad(ness)'! a word that means its own opposite? this is sort of like my favorite urdu word (and pretty much the only one i know!) - insaniyat, which to me means insanity.
