Ice Breaking Session
Day 1 of AIM started with the introduction of the members of various
chapters to each other.
Members were divided into groups according to their region of birth
viz. North, South, East or West.
Members of each group had to perform some humorous act in a
given time.
It was a good opportunity for the members of different chapters to gel
with members of other zones too.
The West zone presented first. They sang the song ‘Aika Dajiba’,
while Amol danced.
The North zone enacted an incident that happened in AIM 2 with the
names of the persons changed, to inject humour.
The South zone enacted a skit. Conceptualized by Sainagakishore, it
brought Akbar and Birbal to present day and made them solve
problems that exist today.
The East zone presented a play in which Lalu Prasad Yadav attends
a class in a Business Management institute. He is bombarded with
questions from the media and students to which he gives
preposterous answers.
