It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No wait, it’s another cliched phrase. For lack of a better beginning, we’re back people. Saarang 2012 is here. It promises to be *better* (and possibly bigger, but let’s leave that for the crowd to decide)

Last year we had a lot on our plate. A mind-boggling set of <insert number of events here> events which included dramatics, choreo, speaking events, music, quizzes etc. It was 4 days and 5 nights of pure bliss. And not to mention, we also got the ISO 90001:2008 certification last year. You know what that means? It means we’re certified “awesome”!

Usually, lectures are thought of as boring. We, however, beg to differ. We had a host lectures by eminent personalities such as Shriya Saran, Bombay Jayshree, Shaji N. Karun, Hari Menon, Alarmel Valli, Thotta Tharani and many more. Also, for the first time, we hosted an MUN (Model United Nations) right here at Saarang (in collaboration with the UN office for India and Bhutan), which turned out to be not_as_boring as people expected! (no offense, it was pretty interesting with <insert outcome here>)

Does anyone remember the online photography contest? That was a last-moment decision taken by some genius (god knows whom), but it exponentially increased the publicity for the Facebook page.

We also set a new standard for Professional shows last year. Apart from the usual Rock Show, Popular night and Classical night, we had a set of “Mini-Proshows” featuring Havikoro, In Vivo, Laurent Decol, and Asaf Avidan and the Mojos under the banner of a “World Culture Show” which had the entire of SAC brimming with excitement. The cultural night was enthralling with Mallika Sarabhai and her dance troupe, Darpana. They put up a show like no other. The popular night had KayKay wooing the audience with his songs and who can forget the Rock Show by Pain of Salvation! We swear, at one point in the show, PoS left the stage, only to return two minutes later in an auto-rickshaw! (God knows how much he would have charged them for going a distance of some 20m, we can only guess)

With all these things, we had a total footfall of around <insert number here>
Saarang 2012 resolves to be *better*. Come and experience it to see how.
Oh, and did we mention the name of the band we’re having for the Pro-show this time? Well, this time it’s going to be... not so soon folks! It’ll be revealed in due time. Keep coming back for more info!
