Nostalgia, possibly is the mother of all inventions. At least, the statement holds weight for IIT Bombay this year as they plan to commemorate the past by declaring the theme of this year's Mood Indigo as vintage. A cultural and arts festival, the event is not only Asia's largest college cultural festival but also an integral part of Mumbai's cultural calendar that is known for its great music line-up, décor and technology-based developments.

This time, Gunjan Gupta, media head for the festival shares, "The main motivation behind the theme was to help the youth connect to an era which represents their parents' childhood. Everybody has heard stories of how things used to be a lot classier in their parents' days and would love to experience a similar setting, with similar scenes. Through this theme we aim to highlight unique elements of the vintage era that stand apart in the age of mass production."
