Afternoon saw the performances by the staff, prizes to SUPERB for each year, a refreshingly different 3rd year fairy story, a freewheeling 4th year on a farewell jig and a final medley by EVERYONE.
There was the traditional changing of the guards, as the present core team handed over their badges to the new members.
Then in a fit of spontaneity, everyone got up on stage and twirled away!!!!
In between, there were the dance performances....
Under the evening stars, it was time for Swaratma. A Bangalore based band, its forte was Indian rock, where they delightfully blended violin and a dholak with traditional guitars and drums with raw and earthy Hindi/ deshwali lyrics. After a long tuning in process, they had everyone up on their feet in the amphitheatre.Their hit songs--Jaana kahan hai mujhe " and "Pyaasi" had the crowd joining in. Their strains lasted well after their performance was over.
All in all my hours flew by, like moving images through a car window.I realised how diffidence had hounded us, shyness had strung cobwebs between our fingers, and hesitation had let golden dreams go by like a silent breeze. Young people now are more open, frank, honest and confident. There is a rhythm in their steps, a firmness in their beliefs. Gibran was so right. They come from you ---but they are not you...
That is the way it is.......That is the way it should be......
Listen to this unusual Korean band whose music is unique, not of any genre, yet of every type--this is called Flower Children...
