There's this thing , sometimes while one thinks about writing on a topic there can be instances when he does not know where to start . This is one such instant.I am at a loss for words.
March 5th and 6th of the year 2010 shall be remembered for long long time.
Orion 2010, kicked off in grand fashion on the morning of March 5th , 2010 at B.S.Abdur Rahman University.Being a part of the core team , the days prior to the start of this cultural extravaganza had been extremely busy and hectic.As the day dawned , we hoped that this would be the beginning of something special.
DAY 1
"Lights, Camera, Action", the show Crescent had been waiting for was set to begin and begin it did with a bang.Prior to Orion , we the ISTD had promised the junta of Crescent that we would get celebs to judge the events at this Orion.And thats one of the many promises we at the ISTD kept at ORION 2010.Day 1 kicked off with veteran blogger and founder Director of F5ive technologies , Mr Kiruba Shankar .His talk at the beginning at the even was awe inspiring and the audience were stunned into silence .As they say " Well begun is half done". With Kiruba giving it the perfect start , the stage was set for the stars of Crescent to take over.It started with the opening dance in which the guys from the final year put on a fantabulous performance. They moved and grooved in flawless coordination and their free styling skills would have probably given the "Step Up" dancers a run for their money.We then had the Quiz finals were the best brains in Crescent went head to head to be known as the university's quiz wizards. Adaptune was the next on stage and the dancers of Crescent showed their extempore dancing skills.Apart from onstage events the , the offstage events also proved to be a grand success.Events such as Paper modelling , Collage , Rangoli , Hair stying and Mehendi too had many participants.Scavenger Hunt proved to be the best outdoor event of the day and had maximum participants .Literary events too had gotten underway in the seminar halls with popular video jockey ,VJ Craig judging shipwreck .Gaming was another event that saw maximum participation with gamers competing for supremacy in games like NFS, FIFA and CS.
The morning of the 1st of the two days of Orion had gone according to plan.Being a friday , Orion was halted for sometime during the afternoon to account for the special friday prayers.The afternoon session would see the budding dancers and musicians of crescent in action.
First event of the afternoon , was the group dance finals which saw some awesome dancing.The finalists danced to the latest tamil songs and brought the crowd to its feet.Next up we had the solo instrumental finals.Judged by popular tamil singer Haricharan and Mr Suresh Chakravarthy , there were some magical performances.We saw instruments such as piano , flute and tabla played with ease and precision by the participants while the junta of crescent cheered on.The solo singing finals followed and the musicians of crescent had the audience spellbound with absolute magic.
The day ended with the pro show from the college dance team with the final celeb of the day being 'Nadodigal' director Samuthrakani. Apart from this , we also had special messages from tamil actor Shiva and director Venkat Prabhu.Kudos to the PR team for the getting those for us.
On the whole day 1 was pure unadulterated entertainment and this ofcourse had set the tone for day 2 .It was a near perfect day for us and this was summed up by the statement which our beloved student president of the ISTD gave the Registrar of our college when he said " Sorry sir, for ending the show 2 minutes late".
