Meraki: Crafting Culture with Passion
Every college has its heart, and at the Indian School of Business and Finance, that heart beats loud and clear through Meraki, our cultural society. Derived from a Greek word, Meraki means doing something with your soul, creativity, and love. And honestly, that’s exactly what we do! Whether it’s a Dandiya night that gets the entire campus grooving or a cozy jamming session where melodies float in the air, Meraki is all about bringing people together and making memories that last longer than any lecture note ever will.
Our tagline, ‘Crafting Culture with Passion’, isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s our vibe. At Meraki, we’re constantly shaping the cultural landscape of our college. From dance and music to cinema and every form of expression in between, we create spaces where creativity can breathe and thrive.
A Quick Walk Down Memory Lane
Last year, Meraki made waves (and a lot of noise, quite literally). Our Dandiya Night brought festive vibes to the campus as students twirled and whirled in sync, dressed in their traditional best. It wasn’t just about the moves; it was the energy, the laughs, and the sheer joy of celebrating together. c
Then came the Icebreaker Session—an event that saw strangers becoming friends through quirky games, impromptu dance-offs, and lots of shared laughter. And let’s not forget the Jamming Sessions! Picture this: a bunch of students with guitars, keyboards, cajons, and their incredible voices, sitting in a circle and pouring their hearts out through music. It wasn’t just an event; it was a vibe.
But Meraki doesn’t stop there. Every year, our talented members perform on special occasions like Orientation, Teacher’s Day and Farewell. These performances aren’t just about showcasing talent—they’re about telling stories, evoking emotions, and bringing the audience together in awe.
Traditions That Bind Us
Meraki has its traditions too. One of our favorites? The Year-End Jam. It’s our way of wrapping up a whirlwind year with music, dance, and everything we stand for. Another cherished tradition is welcoming new members with open arms—and maybe a little teasing during our infamous icebreakers (all in good fun, of course!).
What’s Next?
So, what’s cooking this year? Well, let’s just say we’ve got some surprises up our sleeves! Think themed nights, workshops to unleash your inner artist, and collaborations that’ll bring out the best of ISBF’s talent. Of course, we’ll keep the jamming sessions and traditional events alive and thriving. But we’re also looking to push boundaries and try new things—because that’s what Meraki is all about.
Whether you’re a performer, a behind-the-scenes genius, or just someone who loves soaking in the energy of a cultural event, Meraki has something for you. So, step in, vibe with us, and let’s craft culture with passion—together.
Because at the end of the day, everything else is just noise, but Meraki? That’s soul.
