    Simply awesome guys. It was great to see so many new buildings. I did notice the name of Central Auditorium has been rightfully changed back to Netaji Subhas. For those of you who might be interested in a piece of history, Netaji Subhas was the name this building had been inarguated by, but shortly thereafter, under political pressure from the CIA and the British Intelligence Authority, the building had been renamed.

  • Great great great.......!!!

  • awesome...... sooo nostalgic.... :)

  • Excellent .... very nostalgic .... KGP ... an island of excellence in NO MNA's LAND ... still remains the same in spiririt.

    who are the guys in the video?

  • @ jerinjoy: Please read the information on the top right.

    Also, most of the people in the video are members of ETMS.

  • I have no words.....amazing stuff.....I felt so nostalgic....HJB....Nehru and Tennis Courts ....I am seeing all that after 4 yrs now.......without doubt...those were the best days of my life.....

  • I am from IITD...but just cud'nt stop myself from appreciating this video...and somehow felt nostalgic after seeing this...although I know none of the buildings shown in it!! I love IITs...I love this video :)

  • Thanks for the very encouraging comments. We thought it was more important to dance with people than to dance in front of just buildings. Our effort is a tribute to the people on campus who are important but always escape mention (rickshwallahs, shopowners, caretakers, regular students).

  • yooooo kGP

    yooooo

    --- ishan, kgp '05 (Mech E)

  • good effort..nice song .

  • This video is a direct remake of another video made by a US student who roamed around the world and made videos of himself dancing to the same music albeit in a different language.

    but then its said bad artist copy, great artist steal.

  • We know.. we cannot thank Matt enough for this one-in-a-million Idea. Also, he is not a student, and this song is in the same language as the one in Matt's videos.

  • Wow.....made my day :)

    What an amazing song...with enya style vocals!!

  • Awesome work guys!!! :)

  • continued from previous comment

    ..........

    I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.

    And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

  • English Intrepretation (by Matt Harding) Stream of Life by Rabindranath Tagore The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. (continued)
  • Kgp ka tempo high hai...

  • Hi Palbasha,

    I'm Sushil, one of the guys from the production team of the video. Hope you liked it.

    It meant a lot for many of us (especially senior year students like me and alumni).

    Thanks a lot for Praan.

  • From the production team:

    Thanks for this revolutionary song.. it's on everybody's lips here in IIT. It gives this video all the meaning it has...

    Shreevant

  • lovely effort dudes, gotta love the place you spent five years at. despite me being outta the country right now, the first instinct was to get pack my bag and take a trip back to KGP, back to home.

    -Psycho McCrazy a.k.a Saurabh Agarwal, Mech Dual Thermal, 2k6 Out

  • Superb effort. For someone who graduated nearly two decades ago, this is an eye-opener - all the new developments. May your creative spirits ride high!

    Nice job guys. Keep it up. ..!

  • good one..

  • Cool!!! brings back memories of the awesome 4 years at KGP .... Btech EE, Azadian 2002

  • Absolutely amazing guys .... wonderful video. For the time given to Rani Laxmibai hall, 4 more depts could have been covered :-)

  • That's the idea.. it is more about dancing with people than dancing at places :)

  • mastoooo...yooo kgp [:)]

  • didnt go to insti top !! how did u make so many ppl dance !! gr8 job. What's with the moves though! - 2004 passout

  • very nice video ... wonder why has it spawned any debate .... keep it up my friend.

  • godlike vdo steve..:).. just see the statistics & data tab ...amazing..

  • hey it's wonderful da!

  • loved it!

  • pure copy of matt harding.......shame on you guys

  • He has acknowledged Matt in the end... it's just like making a Pizza or Chowmein at home... Someone else's recipe with my own context n spices... N hey, it's just 4 fun n nostalgia... not 4 some competition where cogging is not allowed...

  • Dear encoreencor,

    This video is trying to extrapolate the noble effort of Matt. The video is a part of that grand mission and a tribute to one and only Rabindranath Tagore. So do shame on yourself.

  • Awesome show guys !!

    reminded us of those cool days....

    - Bhatinda R.K.Hall, Class of 2006

  • OMG ...this is fantastic!....damn kool job!...:) alot of effort seems to have gone to the creation of this video...n I believe its an awesome piece of work! :) laughed my heart out for some of it though :)

  • Good job guys !!

    Kgp 2004 ECE pass out

  • An effort to make something productive should be commended rather than ridiculed especially in India and even more when it comes from Bengal where people espouse the "Cholbe Naa" attitude.

    No other video or photo collection brings together as many places as this single video, I have shown it to people who have never been to any IIT, let alone KGP and they also admit that making a video of this magnitude requires immense willpower.

  • A lot of people here seem to wish that Surd should have used a 'home grown' idea instead of copying the music track and dance. I see nothing wrong in its use. For one, the fact that Surd covered so many places in 3 days is remarkable. To convince the authorities to film inside the Periodical section is another first.

    I believe the only thing missing from this video are a few profs, but then I can't recall anyone with the sense of humour to dance along with a "@&#&!#" student.

  • Comment removed

  • hey... this is Amit banerjee from iitk.... i have just seen this video... its a fantastic video... thank u... :)

  • matt desi version

  • This video made my day when I watched it for the first time, and then I saw the original ! Well I would have expected a lot more from a kgpian than lifting off the whole idea, including the execution from a very popular video. Of course it will be the best Kgp video ever, because it is based totally on a video that has like 17,217,872 views and is also touted as the best video on you tube. But a good effort nevertheless.will see it again and again to reminisce memories of the place i love most
