A flash, A bang : Republic Day in IIIT-H style

Feb 2nd 2012 11:00PM




It's Republic Day and you've decided to head to InOrbit Mall, a nice place to have some family entertainment. There's nothing unusual going on; a security guard minding his own business, girls chatting in groups of three or four, random boys walking hurriedly past, ice cream licking bystanders ... you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was just another day at the mall. And then BOOM!
Suddenly you notice that a huge section of the ground floor has now been cleared to make way for a funkily dressed dancer advancing elegantly to beats you did not notice had started. As he reaches the centre of the clearing, he is joined by few more dancers, all in sync. And the you realize what's happening, as does the crowd, with exclaimations of 'FLASH MOB' ringing around the mall. From Dhinka-chika to Chayya-chayya, this performance has it all : even the security guard is part of the act! And what a finish : A tricolor unfurling from the second floor as our patriotic heart wakes up and slautes it, while having Suno Gaur Se Duniya Walo playing in the background.
Organized, by the Dance Club of IIIT-H, the main purpose of this rendition of all time favorite Bollywood songs was to promote Felicity. Felicity is IIIT-H's annual Cultural and Technological fest, with this year's theme being Doomsday. A big Kudos to the Dance Club, who managed to rally up as many as 70 IIIT-H students to participate. And the hard work did pay off which is evident with the crowd's chants of 'Once More'.
With online events initialized and preparations for offline events coming to a close, the publicity team has been stepping up a notch to make sure that Felicity gets as big a crowd as possible. And what better occasion than on Republic Day? This occasion
