9th Annual Cultural Evening
The show began with a collage, which included a soothing poem of Rabindranath's, Banga Mata coinciding with the Rabindra sangeet, Bhenge mor ghorer chabi by Rasel and Kanti. An amazing wild fire spinning show with the rhythm of drumbeats followed. The melange ended with Kanti's Anondoloke along with several boys and girls carrying pradeep and walking towards the stage, depicting peace.
Mithu and Dia presented a popular duet Amar gorur garite bou shajiye much to the pleasure of the audience. The ACE, as it is popularly known, also had bits and pieces of humour, straight from the heart of NSU, presented in the form of news headlines by Monti. This also included spot reporting all the way from the campus with Lisa and Ashraf and had a wonderfully choreographed advertisement break performed by Rintu and Toma.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Indrila, Mahfuz and Arzoo presented a conversation representing relationships over email and telephone filled with the usual confusion and sweet complications. The hall room roared with appreciation at the lively folk dance number to the popular track Ghate Lagaiya Dinga by Fariza.
Samina's Nazrul composition Amare debona bhulite, along with Dipu's feats at the tabla brought a classical transition to the whole show. Ovi's voice reverberated over the hall, even after finishing his last touches on the folk number Amar gaye joto dukkho. Elita's peppy O mor moyna go brought a bit of twinkle to every eye.
The crowd responded with hillarity to the act by Monti and Lisa, depicting the usual attitude of the young NSU students towards their study courses.
Simin and Emil performed the popular English duet At the beginning, which had the hall literally dancing. Gazi's Pori undoubtedly took away hearts, owing to his soothing voice. Opurbo's Nikosh kalo ei adhare had an overpowering effect on the crowd followed by the popular Miles number Phiriye dao performed by Pranjal, and had everyone singing along.
The 9th ACE 2003 was anchored by Naeem and is the ultimate result of all the in-house shows that NSUSS conducts the whole year round.
