Greetings from DRACULA on campus!
This year's edition of the Public Productions was one that was especially close to our hearts, being the first ever home production!
The title of the play was "The Shadows Within". Its story revolved around the lives of 5 characters who meet on a train from Gujarat to Delhi, set in post-Godhra, post-post-Godhra-riots times. The play was directed by Drac Secy Cool Mallu Srijit Vijayan and the script was co-written by five members of the 2007-2009 batch.
Slightly more light shall be shed on this as a blog post on http://xldracula.blogspot.com
For now, all that need be said is - quite a few hairs were lost in its making, and the appreciation post-play was most gladdening :)

Dracula's Oktoberfest
Hi all,
Dracula conducted a Seniors vs. Juniors lit-fest on campus this last Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We intended this to be some sort of an intellectual Ratanjee for the less physically inclined :) and we were more than pleasantly surprised when the turnout far exceeded our expectations, with the Small Audi getting close to full! (Not a euphemism for "Only Freddie and the participants were there", honest!)
Most of the show was managed by the Junior (Batch of 2009) Drac, and they did a completely outstanding job.
Anyways, the point of this email is to increase hits to the Dracula Blog [ http://xldracula.blogspot.com ] by making you folks head on over there and read the entries we received for the Creative Writing contest called "Once Upon A Time...", which had as its theme:
"Here's to alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!" - Homer Simpson
The winners are indicated in the blog post, and were decided by a (curiously enough) Fin-panel consisting of Profs. Sabyasachi Sengupta and Uday Damodaran. We had initially planned for our very own lit-God Gango to judge the entries, but he was (and still is, incidentally) out of town :-|
Given the encouraging response, we're hoping to make Oktoberfest an annual thing, and hope our junior team, next year, will carry the stellar torch they lit. We might even take it inter-college, logistics permitting! :-) Or does anybody think we should keep it positioned as an "intellectual Ratanjee"..?
Regards,

An email from DRACULA!!!
Greetings from Transylvania,
I would like to write the details of my escapade spurred on by my thirst for fresh blood and to claim souls. However this is not quite the right place for it. I, Count Dracula will vacate the stage for the REAL DRACULA, a special interest group in THEATRE. This year they are raising money for Cheshire homes. But they are struggling to move beyond the model of local community involvement to reach out to the larger XLRI diaspora. Please go through the accompanying emails andsee if there is someway you can help them?

Sir,
I am enclosing the final proposal we have made put with the changes you suggested and made more sponsor friendly. We need to raise about 80,000 for the production itself and around 20,000 for the logistical parts. so in all, we need a corpus of 1,00,000. we have got 20,000 from tinplate. and possibly another 20,000 from telcon. however, we need to raise another 60,000. we are trying our best to raise this amount using our older DRAC members. It would be wonderful if you could forward this proposal to people you know in various companies who will be able to help us out.
will forward the same to Prof Shukla.
Thanks
Shweta
