Tempest 2016 ends with a huge crowd for Miranda House alumnae Neeti and Shakti Mohan

By

The third and final day of Tempest dawned rainy and damp with the Western Dance competition, nukkad natak, and the star night with Neeti and Shakti Mohan being the main attractions.

The Indian choir competition by Geetanjali, the Indian music society was the first event for the day. Being judged by Ms. Srimanjari, faculty in the Department of History of Miranda House and associated with SPIC Macay of the college, and Dr. Bharat Bhushan, who is a Ph.D in Music. The choir from Swaranjali, Hansraj College were awarded the first position. They were followed by Alankar, Hindu College, and Alahyaa, Daulat Ram College.

One of most well-attended and energized events of the day was Halla Bol, the nukkad natak event organised by Anukriti, the street play society of Miranda House. When enquired about why Halla Bol was non-competitive this year, Shivangi Tewari, one of the members of Anukriti revealed that the event this year was dedicated to one of their members who passed away recently- Mokshi Wadhera. She said, “Mokshi was a free spirit and also lifted those of people around her. This year, we wanted our event to not only encapsulate her spirit but also be a platform that’s being denied to people right now in light of recent events. We wanted teams to not be bound by expectations or competition, and just traverse the entire genre of nukkad and express freely.” The feeling of solidarity with one another and freedom could be felt as 10 teams performed plays about diverse and often, controversial, topics. The event was presided over by Mr. Kushagra Singh, an artist with the Asmita Theatre Group, and Mr. Fahad Khan, who has his own theatre group.

Burlesque, the Western Dance event by Tanz, the Western Dance society, attracted quite a crowd. It was judged by Tarun Sharma, choreographer of Tanz, Mohit Raj Thapa, a member of Dance Works, and Caroline Prada, an international dancer. Misba, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, won the first position and Verve, Sri Venkateswara College won the second.

Tempest 2016 ended on a high as Neeti Mohan and Shakti Mohan, alumnae of Miranda House, performed to a huge crowd in the college grounds. While Neeti Mohan enthralled with her powerful voice, belting out crowd pleasers like Jiye Re, Jiya Re and Paani Da,  Shakti Mohan danced to foot-tapping tunes like Chiitiyan Kalaiyan. In their enthusiam, the crowd broke the barricades twice. The sisters proclaimed themselves to be proud Mirandians as Tempest was brought to an emotional and fitting end.

The plays went house full, while one could always spot a crowd of atleast 20 people waiting outside the auditorium waiting to get inside. A few students misunderstood the entrepreneurship cell event, ‘the End of Times Sale’ as some sale which the society had put up and went back disappointed as the event was about making a product out of waste material provided. The talent show organized by the NSS unit of the college for the differently talented people received a very good response. Supriya from Miranda House won the first prize in dance category while Shipra won the second prize. DJ Sumit Sethi who came dressed in red, coupled with a sparkling red hat, played out some groovy numbers for the crowd while rapper Aman had the audience cheering for him for his Punjabi rap.

The third prize went to Ramanujam College.All the three prizes in the Poster Making competition, organized by the Fine Arts society of the college were bagged by the students of the Fine Arts and Photography society of Kirori Mal College. ‘Rear Gear’, the cycle stunts show organized by the Adventure Club of the college was a big hit amongst students.
