Mr. Bhattacharyya’s presentation was on “ACTIVITIES DAMAGING YOUR BUILDING”. He explained all the activities that are damaging a building in a very witty way. These activities included washing the floor causing water seepage through gaps in tiles to vibrations caused due to stroking the clothes in the bathrooms. He also explained the way water seepages cause damage to the buildings and the ways to prevent it. Both the lectures were found interesting by the audiences, which was evident from a lot of questions that needed to be answered by both the speakers during Question-Answer Sessions as well as during the dinner that followed the presentations.
