Tarang '06
Those of you who din't attend my department (the telecom dept) fest finale Tarang '06 last saturday missed a spectacular event! Now you might think i'm bragging because i organized it but ask anyone who attended it. It rocked and how! My hindi speaking skills improved like crazy after this event, however i also completely lost my voice :D .
I called up Raghupathi Dixit to see whether his band "The Raghu Dixit Project" would be able to play for our show on saturday. He agreed in spite of the of it being last minute and also got a sponsor for the event!! What an absolute sweet heart! They played beautifully and totally wooed the crowd! I must say that I'm an absolute fan of Raghu's voice now! My favorite song is "Ambar". It makes me smile.
One of the opening bands was EN ROUTE in which my sister sheila is lead vocals. I think they were quite ok for their maiden show! I'm so proud of you!
derherr left his hair and went mad on stage loving the attention he was getting from the telecom chicks. The tabla player sat on a high podium and looked positively high too! Raghu was dancing on stage with his guitar! And Anirban was at his usual perfectionist best! His solo's left the mad crowd speechless!
The setting was in my college OAT with white lanterns hung from the trees. The lighting guys did not get a word of what i was saying to them but they did a great job! The entire OAT was packed with 300 people jumping like crazy! Unlike AT our college fest, the show did not have the usual "lecturer" butting in everything. Believe me when that guys around, students aren't even supposed to whistle!! The crowd went absolutely mad listening to the band play. They were jumping, singing along, and dancing! I think i even saw a mexican wave!
I was so nervous before the event. Was just hoping that everything would fall into place. The sound we got was just a 1.5 kw system. Everything else was booked for the KK and Euphoria concerts. What excellent timing! Inspite of that people arrived and had a complete blast. I got a lot closer to my friends and saw the true colours of most of them. Was the absolute best!
Thank you so much Raghu for agreeing to play, and
derherr for putting up with my bull s*** and Anirban for patiently listening to me crib about my HOD. I love you all!! Muah!
Will put up the pics soon. You can also see them here. These are the real pics btw :D sorry about the previous blunder.
