SCT's ‘Cult-a-Way' fest returns with a bang

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sree Chitra Thirunal College of Engineering (SCT) is all set to host Cult-a-Way 2025, its flagship techno-cultural festival, at Kanakakkunnu on May 30, 31, and June 1.
Now in its 13th edition, Cult-a-Way promises a blend of culture, entertainment, tech, and more.
'It is open to the public. Entry is free, except for performances at the Nishagandhi Auditorium, for which tickets will be charged,' says Nandagopan G, a final-year student and public relations coordinator of Cult-a-Way.
The entertainment lineup is an impressive mix of musical talent, featuring Tamil artist Yogi Shekhar, bollywood singer Akasa Singh, Gabri, Urmi, and MC Cooper, among others. At least seven top artists will perform over the three days.
In addition to the performances, the festival will host a series of tech workshops in collaboration with various academic departments at SCT.
Visitors can also look forward to quizzes, a flea market, and stalls selling food, clothing, and accessories. 'We're also focusing on promoting entrepreneurship—both from within the college and outside,' adds Nandagopan.
As a prelude to the main event, a pre-fest run called 'Cult Run' will be held on May 28 at Manaveeyam Veedhi, in collaboration with KIMS Health, to raise awareness about mental health.
'More than just a college fest, this is a tech institution's fun way to reach out to the masses,' adds Nandagopan.

Groom's Bollywood dance to 'Dhoom Machale' wins hearts online, Hrithik Roshan says 'Love it'

An American groom has taken the internet by storm after a video of him dancing to Dhoom Machale at his wedding went viral. Shared by the Instagram account Lettering by Sav, the clip shows the groom—dressed in just his wedding vest and trousers—pulling off energetic moves to the iconic Bollywood number alongside his friends. The video was cheekily captioned, 'When a white boy marries a brown girl.' The surprise twist? Hrithik Roshan, who starred in Dhoom 2 and is often remembered for his dance in the song, saw the video and left a comment under it. The Bollywood star simply wrote, 'Love it,' with a fire emoji and left fans delighted. The groom's performance quickly became a fan favourite. Viewers praised his energy, effort, and joyful embrace of Indian culture. Comments ranged from playful—'Hrithik has been real silent ever since this was posted'—to heartfelt. One person declared, 'This guy's a keeper,' while another joked, 'The Indian government has to give him his Aadhaar card.' But the Dhoom tribute wasn't the only moment that caught attention. In another clip shared by the same account, the groom and his groomsmen are seen dancing to 'Desi Girl' from 'Dostana', again earning applause online. One commenter summed it up best: 'I love in interfaith weddings the non Indian groom dances to Indian music and involves in the culture. I would like to see more of the Indian bride also getting involved in his culture also.' Hrithik was last seen in 'Fighter', directed by Siddharth Anand. The film also featured Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. He will next be seen in 'War 2', alongside Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, will also be Jr NTR's most-awaited Bollywood debut. Hrithik is also set to make his directorial debut with 'Krrish 4'. The film will be jointly produced by his father, Rakesh Roshan, and YRF's Aditya Chopra. The actor has also been signed on for a production under Hombale Films. However, details of the project are currently under wraps.

Music school students to get Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates

The School Education Department has issued orders to give Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates to music school students. 'Students studying in district government music schools will be issued pass certificates equivalent to Classes X and XII if they pass the language courses conducted by the Directorate of Government Examinations,' the Government Order (G.O.) said. School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi had announced this provision in the Legislative Assembly earlier this year. The order stated that the move aimed to ensure that students of music schools can access higher education and employment opportunities without any hindrance, and to discourage them from dropping out. It added that if they pass the Class XII Tamil (Part-I) and English language (Part-II) papers, they could continue their musical education or pursue higher education and employment with a Class XII-equivalent pass certificate.
