among the students of different schools which was inaugurated by Dr. Amarjyoti Choudhury, former Vice Chancellor, Gauhati University. The other dignitaries who graced the occasion included Padmashree Ajoy Dutta, former MLA and social activist, Dr. Amalendu Chakraborty and Dr. Usha Ranjan Bhattacharjee of Gauhati University, Dr. Pannalal Goswami, retired professor, Cotton College among others. The cultural nights of the twoday celebrations had a variety of performances like dance, recitation, singing and dramatics. Dance
performances included Odissi, Kathak, “Stuti,” “Tandava,” Bollywood and Bihu. Among the musical performances, the former and present students presented Rabindra Sangeet, Baul, Bhupendra Sangeet, Jhumur, Bhajan and Bollywood numbers. The students also presented three skits criticizing social ills like drug addiction and dowry and encouraging girl power. The skits were directed by Manjushree Basu. The biggest attraction of the festivities was the play “Ei Samay Shei Samay,” written and directed by Subhrajit Roy, a former student of the
Art school. Based on the theme of lost childhood, the play was entertaining as well as satirical. Mowgli, being one of the most popular characters in the fantasy world, has its own relevance both in literature as well as in visual media. Inspired by the same, the writer-director created a similar character. Mohan, the lead protagonist and a present day kid, being disturbed with the competitive rat race of present day world wants to play independently. One night, Mowgli enters his room and both fly away to explore the beautiful nature from which Mohan had been totally disconnected. The time travel of Mowgli to future and his friendship with Mohan bring about some interesting twists in the play. Mohan travels 500 years into the future where he meets a robot who blames the present generation for becoming mechanical in their practices and attitudes. The play raised serious questions on the present day education system and social structure which keep kids detached from nature and in a hyper competitive urban lifestyle. The play was presented on an open stage amidst a crowd of over 2000 people. The director used appropriate pictures and graphics projected on a giant LED wall to signify the theme of a particular scene. The background score included AR Rahman’s Oscar winning creation of “Slumdog Millionaire,” Bangladeshi writer-director Humayun Ahmed’s “Ghetuputro Kamola,” Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Black,” Satyajit Ray’s “Aha Ki Aananda Aakashe Batache…” among others. The prelude of “Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hain…” jingle in the background brought a sense of
