The Spirit of IIT Run It started very early on 20th December morning. December is also MI, when close to a thousand collegians descended on IIT campus for 5 days of fun & competition. This year December 26 to 30 saw 45 outstation teams, besides the many Mumbai teams participating in MI in its silver jubilee year. A fashion competition "Style 97" of growing popularity, the aqua games and "Informals" were added attractions. The organisation this year had "on-line" help of a computer system with a net of pentium PC at strategic places. The professional nights were popular - beginning with classical night with Master Shashank and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and son. The Ghazal night featuring Jagjit Singh, tried to break the crowd participation records of Live wire. Live wire had "Parikrama" , a Rock band, a spectacular laser show and an audience in dancing and screaming frenzy. Certainly a MI to remember.
