It was an extra ordinary day in the history of DVSIET College, when students from North East India entered the college premises well dressed up in their traditional dresses. When they walked past the gate in daura suruwal, dhaka topi and kurta, the first comment that they encountered was from the security guard who thought that weren't students and said 'hah bhai kaha ja rahe ho?' We were allowed to the college premise after showing our Identity Card.
The audotorium was all set up for the program except for the music system which was being set up. After some hustle-bustle, a nice banner of the program was projected in the wall with Map of 7 sisters.
Some time later, the chief guest entered the hall with the Director. Till then the hall was full with invited faculties and the students who were the members of the Eco Club.
The program started around 1 PM with the members of eco club giving presentation on environmental issues. The guest lecturer also gave us a nice presentation on the conservation of natural resources and their importance. After a while, it was time for the NE students to continue on with the cultural activities. The anchors of the cultural program Mr. Amir Bhandari (B.Tech 2nd Year) and Trishna Saika (B.Tech 1st Year) were handed over the stage.
The first song was a homage to the people of Japan who lost their near ones in the tragic incident in the recent days. Everyone present on the hall stood up as the video of the japan incident was projected on the wall as the students sung the song, 'sambodhan timilai gardai chu ma.......' The song concluded with a grand applause.
The program went on with students introducing themselves and some nice musical numbers from Mr. Amit Gupta and Mr. Pravesh Chettri. Meanwhile Assamese students also sang a group song signifying the beauty of their state 'o mur opunar dekh'.
A skit that made everyone jump of their seat laughing was presented by a bunch of students. The problems that the NE students have been facing here was well represented in the skit. The skit left everyone thinking and smiling.
Next, Mr. Tshering Namgyal Lepcha entered the stage with his Lepcha traditional dress and presented us with a nice overview of the North Eastern States. Also Arnav Borthakur presented some slides about Assam.
After some more cultural performance, now it was time for the final performance which was surely the attraction of the show. Students entered the stage dazzling in daura suruwals and dhaka topi and took their position.The song started like this, 'ahem......... haaaaa wari jamuna pari jamuna....' Though many of them were dancing for the first time [not to mention the break dance in the parties] they did extremely well. The audience gazed at the dance with both their eyes and mouth wide open [except some at the back who were busy gossiping]. The dance concluded with the loudest roar and applause of the entire day.
The college distributed gifts to all the NE students. Some were very eager to open it up and have a glimpse, it was a nice T-shirt. Students couldn't wait to reach hostel and wear it on.... :)
By that time, everyone was looking hungry and they headed to the canteen with a lunch coupon and the exciting day was over. Students were very much happy that they got a chance to show their traditional culture to the faculties and students.
"The program was exemplary..... Even though we had a hell lot of problems, we managed to gave a good performance and not to forget we had loads of fun [laughs....]. And I am looking forward
for a next program like this." said Anurag Thapa (B.Tech 2nd Year) from West Bengal.
