An ace performance by NSU

Lit candles were a fitting conclusion to the show

The memorable evening was marked by the heart rending beats of the dhak, the frenetic performance of the dhakis (those who play the dhaks) and students with painted faces carrying colourful butterflies, dragonflies, flowers in hands and showering flower petals on the audience.

That's not all. The lathi dance (traditional dance using bamboo), composed by Biju with the folk tune Doyal baba kebla kaba, lingered on in the spectators' minds.

After the dramatic beginning, Misho, the president of NSUSS and Pritim transported the audience to the world of laughter with their entertaining banter and witty comments during anchoring.

A good selection of songs made the evening more enjoyable. Mon shudhu mon chhuechhey a duet by Navid and Nafisa and the solos such as Torey putuler moto korey shajiye by Towhid, Kabita porar prohor eshechhey by Dia, Aamar shopney dekha Rajkannya thakeyby Gazi, Aami apar hoye boshey achhi by Kanti, Shei raatey raat chhilo purnima by Elita, Keno ei nishshongota by Apurba and Tara jola ratritey and Ami tarai tarai rotiye debo by Pranjol were noteworthy. The performances of Dia, Kanti and Apurba need an extra mention.

Emil, who is a popular singer among the NSU students, sang the only English song Iris of Goo Goo Dolls with Ashraf and Omair of the band Breach on guitars. The captivated audience got on their feet during the performance. However, Tapu with his popular self-composed song Ek paye nupur wasn't at his best.

Apart from the songs, Moutishi's kathak dance and the recitation of the composition of the poems of Nirmolendu Goon, Rabindranath Tagore and Rafique Azad were delightful.

The innovative news session was interesting, with witty and mocking comments by the caster. Apart from the mockery, a strong message was conveyed to the authority through reporting: the students' dream to have their campus at Bashundhara.

Another interesting item was the cinema trailer Prem Pujari: The Spiderman which was humorous and depicted the real cinema scenario of our country.

The concluding part of the programme also charmed the audience. The students carried lit candles. In chorus they sang Bangladesh of Aiyub Bachchu. There was a touch of sadness in the ambience at the end of the function.

As the Faculty Advisor of NSUSS, Deena P Forkan said, 'Each year the students give a better performance than the previous year.'This year is no exception.
