Evening functions on 15th Aug
The evening started with an extract from Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali stating his vision of a free India and a prayer to the Almighty of a dawn into which our country awakes.
We then paid humble tribute and homage to all those visionaries who made this dream of Independence a reality ........and pledged to continue this legacy through the days to come......
This 15th August also witnessed a colourful Cultural Evening this year followed by Dinner attended by over 400 guests (thru' paid coupons).
The cultural Evening was organised in Tower 8 Community Hall.
o Multilingual Composition:
The program started with a composition by Saikat Sarkar and Lady residents of DCW...... (after an arduous 15 day stretch of regular practise).
It started with the Sanskrit Sloka "Atha Swagatam, Subho Swagatam / Anando Mangal Mangalam / Nito Priyom Bharat Bharatam / Atha Swagatam, Subho Swagatam"
Then they presented the song of unity from the state of Gujrat "Rang Rangila Ful Ameto / Rang Rangila Ful / Bharat Mane Koule Kiltan Rang Rangila Ful / Ameto Rang Rangila Ful"
The flow then took us to Orissa "Ganga Bahoi, Jamuna Bahoi / Ganga Bahoi, Bahoi Jamuna / Bahoi Sindhu Bhramhaputra / Bahoi Godabori Krishna Kaberi/ Mahanadi Dhuye Yahar Gatro,/ Giribonabhumi Yar Barendro,/ Ei Amoro Bharatborsho"
From east we criss-crossed the West with the Marathi song "Hi Anadi Sankriti, Hi Ananta Bharati / Roj Aruna Chandrama, Arteesh Ugboti / Dharani Chhatrasaori, May Bhumi Chyashiri / Ha Yuge Yuge Uva, Achalo Raaj Himgiri / Charani Adha Dharaba, Sindhu Lahari Usalti"
then, we moved to the fun-filled sun kissed state of Goa with a very catchy Goanese song "Chio Chio Chi, Chio Chio Chi / Chio Chio Chio Chio Chio Chio Chi / Aanderma Mamuija, Ani Aosa Gatuka / Ani Majerisa Filiya Taka, Khel Mandinaka / Maya Maya Maya Maya Maya Maya"
Final conclusion of the composition was with an Urdu composition "Sare Jahan Se Accha Hindostan Hamara / Ham Bulbulain Hai Is Ki, Yeh Gulsitan Hamara / Ghurbat Men Hon Agar Ham, Rahta Hai Dil Vatan Men / Samjho Vahin Hamen Bhi, Dil Hain Jahan Hamara"
