In the photograph, Alagu Balaraman (Mechanical Engineering, batch of 1985) can be seen being strolled around in a wheelbarrow by Anand Kasturi (Civil Engineering, batch of 1984), holding a sign indicating that the ‘music quiz’ was taking place at the Central Lecture Theatre, and that the Prelims results were out during Mardi Gras ‘83. It was possibly used as an advertisement or an announcement regarding the event. Other students can be seen in the background near counters and stalls, possibly outside the Open Air Theatre.
