"Megh Mudra"

Come let’s take a peek-a-boo at a recent event which occurred at TISS. It’s called the Megh Mudra, a festival to impress the Rain-Gods. Mumbai has already been blessed with rains this year (and a plenty of it, so much so that Mumbai can just as well is like Venice now, if not Shanghai!!), never the less, the festival was fun.

I never thought TISSians could dance, let alone the doctors at TISS. Well TISSians have this knack of proving people wrong. So the students of SHSS jumped at the opportunity to show off their dancing skills and rock on the dance floor…… what if the stage was a basket ball court?????? That was the idea of the festival………. calling the Rain-Gods.



Don’t underestimate doctors, as the two musicians of the class,Kamlesh(Vocals) and Lal(Guitar) also presented a song… (Tum ho toh gata hai dil, tum nahin to chain kahan)...expressing aptly the love to the rain after the loooooonnng summer here. And then some of us also went to the extent of dancing on dekha Jo tujhe yaar, dil mein baji guitar…..he he…


And that’s not all; the jam session extracted the hooligans in us in the true sense…. What fun it was dancing in the open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do keep urselves updated on the events at TISS. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
