SAARANG ROXX….
ramanujam January 29th, 2006
Saarang, saarang, saarang!!! This has been the talk of the town for the past week and as everything which begins must end Saarang let down the curtains for the year 2006 with the hype, junta (IIT slang for people…), sponsors and entertainment skyrocketing year by year. After a lot of voices striking my eardrums repeatedly (machan! lots of events and lots of figures…), I decided to spend my weekend at saarang 2006 at least as a part of the mighty audience and it was really awesome. For the unaware geeks, saarang is considered to be the mother of all cultural festivals and one of the largest in the country attracting a large youth mass. The festive is conducted for five days and provides entertainment to the core pertaining to numerous facets of interest.
On Saturday night the OAT (Open Air Theatre) was over flooded even before the light music show was about to start. After a short hiatus I somehow made my way into the enthralling campus and got into the OAT and searched for my comrades who were already seated there and finally settled down. The show nite was free of charge and everyone came there to cheer up their colleges. We tried to get the tickets for the choreo night but were too late and got only ‘sold out’ tones from the coordinators. One thing which I still feel for missing was the Shankhar-Ehsaan-Loy show and it increased when in the paper my fauvorite journo wrote a lot of appreciating verses about the show. Missed a lot of my fav songs 
For those who have nothing to do, informals are conducted throughout the day at various spots wherein you can exhibit any talent you possess and merely watching them gives you great fun. A lot of gift coupons also on offer. Quiz shows also form a major part of saarang and different quizzes are conducted over the five days. As I didn’t participate in any of the quizzes this year I went onto see the finals of AV quiz and it provided a good knowledgeable time pass. (Next post on a fussy incident there!!!). Even when I was leaving a large crowd was standing for the Led Zeppelica rock show (the curtain closer of saarang ‘06). Anyway I also have set my footprints in IIT during Saarang 2006
This time I was not an active participant due to lack of awareness and the absence of the driving force, my friend Samba because of his adventurous accident. He is the one who pulls us all for the symposiums and culturals, even though I scold him for making us to bunk classes we end up happily. If he were present the scenario would have been different. It was deserted without Samba and his absence was felt really. If things go on well, I would pitch my tent for all the five days during saarang 2007
Kudos SAARANG!!! Kudos IIT!!!
