The Shri Ram College of Commerce (S.R.C.C), University of Delhi, held the much awaited annual winter festival- CROSSROADS 2009 from 19-22 December of the previous year. Throughout the campus of S.R.C.C, the air was filled with immeasurable enthusiasm and spirit amongst the students.

The four-day festival incorporated several events which were split under five official societies of the college including the Students Union of S.R.C.C, the Mathematics and Computers Society, the Commerce Society, the Travellers’ Society and the History and Political Society.

On the very first day of the event, “Woodstock” escaped the pleasant smiles on the faces of the students during the Rock Night which featured rock bands like Bare Face Liars, Them Clones and Chapter One. The next day was followed by the adrenalizing “Inferno” featuring Western Dance and Fashion Night. The day witnessed a footfall of more than 5000 students. “The winners of the Fashion Show were offered with a modeling contract worth Rs. 22 lakhs by Glitz which has made students more enthusiastic and competitive too” added Pankaj Chaudhary, an enthusiast working for the success of CROSSROADS 2009.

Numerous students tapped their feet at the DJ Night by “Random Collisions” and the atmosphere was full with vibrancy all over the S.R.C.C campus. The “Pulsar Stuntmania” in the college campus drew the attention of almost every student during the fest. Several students participated in this event and showcased their talents. Adding to the glory, the Travellers' Society offered sports like Rappelling, Flying Fox and Burma Bridge and received a tremendous response.

Surpassing all the previous events, the last day of CROSSROADS 2009 experienced what was seen never before. “Encore”, a part of the festival featuring the Pop Night by Kailash Kher and Atharva who dominated the stage for the night. A huge crowd of about 8-10 thousand students gathered there just to get a glimpse of Kailash Kher’s electric performance.
