Reminding previous stories are taking time , this time i am writing one of the latest event Euphoria 07. let me tell you about the events the basic aim of event is to identify the talented students so that Music club here can have some more people with them. mostly first years and second year students will participate in the event. Event was categorized in three types of performances, HINDI, ENGLISH and MALAYALAM.
i got to know about the event, singer inside me got inspired to sing again, i though of many things and ultimately decided to sing. The program was scheduled to be held in three stages. my idea of participation was not to win, but to get noticed in NITC. some people have already heard me at CSED farewell last year, but most of them are not in the campus now. about mca's they all know that Amit sings, infact they can't stop me singing whether i am singing good or bad...
Preliminary was on Tuesday 11th Sep, it was in the big Drawing Hall, that about three times bigger than a normal class room, Akhilesh ji has also prepared for the competition. He reached there with Guddu and registered himself , i have told him that i will also come but i have gone to Vally with Pavan and Jayant. Guddu called me and asked about me, i told him that you register me i will reach there. after some time three of us reach there guddu and all were there well i was not sure which song to perform there, many students came there, first we were at the last benches but no voice was was audible there
we shifted to front benches. Akhilesh's name was called . He sang nicely song was "Gori tera ganv bara pyara ". great performance, after some time my name got called i was on the stage, while walking towards stage i decided the songs and i performed "Thare bina laage nahi mara jiya re " by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. It was loud enough to reach at the last row of the hall. After this performance i was flying , i did it well , in room every eye was aiming on me , and the amount of claps i got was really unforgettable. Here finishes the first round of the Euphoria 07.
Now at night i have seen the shortlisted candidate list. yes my name was there , going down it was great to see Akhilesh's name there, i ran to his room to congratulate him, he didn't believed me, i took him to hostel notice board. he rechecked it and we started shouting to inform to all, although we were not worried to get the prize, but thought was that we will get another chance to show the talent from PGs side.
as usual we spend night doing nothing constructive, creating fun for the happiness, and morning again back in classes in front of teachers, no body knows why we can't sleep in hostels rather than sleeping the classes, day passed as normal and later in the evening as every body was on to us for the competition, Akhilesh has prepared something for him but for me, i was not getting any song to perform there, at last the performance started and everyone was prepared for this with a great practiced song, and all of sudden they called my name now this was really tough to select a song at that time i started walking towards stage and claps have dropped a song in my mind, and here is the song i performed there .....
"Naina thag lenge" from OMKARA it was really great to sing among that much crowd in NITC. i came off the stage. Akhilesh ji has given another great performance, the whistles and claps were best part i enjoyed, the simplicity of Akhilesh and the melody in the voice was great. He sang "Chandi jaisa rang hai tera " by Pankaj Udhas. Then started the second round of the events all the B.Tech participants were much prepared than we two, even when event has not started everyone was practicing outside Aryabhatta Hall, they have given there best performance. For second round Akhilesh ji has prepared a little fast number ... "Chand jaise mukhre pe bindiya sitara " from an old movie, Excellently performed with lot of claps in return. i was the last participant to be called on the stage and everyone has expected something more from me, but i have not selected some song for second round, as soon as name was announced crowd started shouting, although major public there was from B.tech, but they liked me inspite the fact that i am from MCA and i am competing with B.Tech. Based on amount of hooting before the song i decided to perform Punjabi number, but it was a Hindi singing competition , i asked judges if i can continue with a Punjabi song, they replied in positive and i started "Chule aag na ghare de wich pani"...... by Jagjit Ji
For MCA s there it was not a new song as many times when they called me i have performed the same song for them but still the other crowd enjoyed it, i don't know how many of them understood by Punjabi in the song but the Punjabi rhythm made them tap their feet. with end of my song the event was concluded, i was assure to go to finals, they announced to give the results by night on hostel Notice Boards.
on the Finals i have performed with Allah k bande by Kailash Kher it was praised by the audience but i think the high profile classical singer sitting there as judge has not find any thing good as the other malayalis has performed , they sang nice classical tracks. in the second round sang kehna hai kehna hai from an old movie Parosan...
opps its time to close lab .. may be i'll edit it sometime later
