The Inauguration of OASIS has never appealed to me (except the year when Mr Sunit Rikhi had an amazing poem to share with us).
However, today was worse when our Chief Guest Mr Rahul Bose attempted to get away with a I Have A Dream speech.
What I liked about his speech was the idea that amidst all the extravaganza, celebration and conspicuous consumption, we need to spare a thought for the underprivileged. Earlier, even Dr Raghurama, Deputy Director, BITS Pilani brought it up in his speech albeit in a much better manner.

What I didn't like was the fact that Mr Bose tried too hard to please everyone. He sounded like the jhola chaap activist who wants to fix everything in the world. Right from India-Pakistan relations to bad soaps. Everything one could possibly think of. Pretentious as Saurya put it.
