Historical Note: The predecessor event to Mood Indigo was a Hostel IV Function called Metamor4sis, which was the first Hostel Function to take place in the Convocation Hall and
involve campus-wide and outside IIT participation (1969-70). The Director, Dr. Bose, had been invited, but was out of town at the time of the event. When he returned, he was very upset that such an event took place in the Convocation Hall, which led to
profuse apologies and peace-making gestures on the part of H4. But, the stage was thereby set for other such cultural events.
