Random Walk

“Dance like no one is watching. Dance with your heart, mind and soul.”

Random walk (RW) binds not only those who can dance, but also those who love and enjoy dancing. Random Walk is the official dance troupe cum choreography club of IIM Lucknow. It was initially started as a small dance interest group to help provide dancers an opportunity to continue pursuing their art. Till today, for dance enthusiasts, the club stands to be the biggest extracurricular activity, providing the much required break from academic life. Though the general managerial activities of the club are carried out by its members, other dance enthusiasts in the institute come together whenever a dance performance is to be staged. So the club basically represents IIM Lucknow’s dancing community. It provides lot of opportunities in the form of competitions, events and workshops for igniting the spark of interest present in the budding managers and honing their skills towards showcasing their talents.

The club has come a long way from its humble start. Today it has built itself a very strong internal brand image and is fast proceeding to stamp its name among the institutes in and around Lucknow.

Quizzing Commoners

There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge. - Bertrand Russell.

The human mind is relentless in the pursuit of knowledge. This thirst for knowledge is what drives his progress in any field. And of course, what format for the transfer of knowledge could be as exciting, or as beautiful, as a quiz? Only through this format can you combine the nail biting suspense, the sheer thrill of neurons firing off and the feverish search through millions of thoughts, until you finally stumble upon that elusive detail, culminating in a Eureka moment of pure happiness as you realize the answer. Quizzing Commoners (Q-Comm) was established in 2009 by the quizzing enthusiasts of IIM Lucknow. Q-Comm aims to ignite this spark of quizzing that exists in everyone’s heart. Quizzing Commoners offers a lot to its participants and there are a lot of reasons to participate in the quizzes:

• Quizzing as a sport greatly enhances the inquisitiveness of students helping them explore a wide range of topics.
• It increases daily awareness and helps boost positive habits such as reading and independent research.
• Students are up to date in recent development across a large range of fields - the requirement of the day is to be well informed.
• It facilitates lateral thinking, by presenting and answering questions in an irregular format.
