Colours

Saarang 2006 like the previous edition left me with fond memories and expectations for next year.

This Saarang was a step ahead in many ways.

Like last year i made many new friends,took part in many events, ogled(Slisha gives a better picture than leched) at babes,dunno whether that should have come first ;) and enjoyed myself thoroughly at the proshows, well almost.....Dean or the police whoever was responsible just screwed the climax.
The main reason why it was a step ahead was the renewal of many old friendships ;) . Another being the fact that atlast i managed to qualify for the finals of a Saarang quiz (A.V with Knushi and Ganup ) and What's the good word (Knushi).
The finals were a let down though with us putting joint fourth in both events.And another year passes by without a single quiz victory or even a little bit of cash :(

But now for the bright part.

Proshows

This year's were better than last year though not by much. The rock show was a significant improvement over last year though the stairway extended only till 'Trishanku Swargam'.The Shankar show was good though here again luck played spoilsport with me left in the big queue outside family gate while one of my all time favs Breathless was going on inside(Damn you Murphy).The classical show was pretty good though like Spanky said Airtel Customers 'Expressing themselves' diverted attention from the stage.The LM and WM finals which i missed last time were also very good and the french band and their folk music was also nice.

Quizzes

Though i missed the finals of India and SpEnt quiz, The prelims of SpEnt at Saarang was much better than the litsoc one and AV Quiz especially the finals were very well set.Kudos to the Bofi Pota team. Main quiz as usual lived upto its reputation of being the quiz were the mental tenacity of the quizzers is tested to the limit with a finals from 11pm till 6:15 am.Some of the questions like the long visual connect on the portmanteau left me pulling my hair after i had got chunnel and sitcom and one more (dunno which). I am a real dumbass not to have got the 30 connect question on Colours earlier it was Saarang after all. The answer fits in perfectly with Saarang which is why The Bofi and Pota renamed the quiz the Mardi gras AV quiz.
Now you know why the post is called Colours.

What's the good word?

This event finals was also well set except for Chin cupping in the cows and bulls round and the last round being a little (yeah rite) unfair to Rg and Bus who were the consistent performers in the event.

Babes

Well this is one department which in my opinion showed a marked improvement this year.This year there were maajar number of hot chicks though as usual urs truly was content to just look at them and salivate like an alsatian after a long morning jog with its master.Talking of saliva, a number of babes this year were seen chewing gum (dunno if this is the gals way of replying to guys faggin away to glory).

Newsletter

This year's newsletter was nice with many guest articles. I especially liked the articles by Q on connect questions and the one by Petro and Madballs on the beginning of Saarang. Fudu's article was good and it was also nice to see a Stella Maris girl (Manasi)having such a high opinion of IITians though Ducky might be a small reason for that.

Saarang as usual was a story of high expectations, broken dreams and memories to cherish.
