Masks, music and
bliss Chandigarh, October 5 Despite repetition of the event called
freshers’ bash every year, the exuberant lot of the institute managed to keep the sparks aglow. There was zest in today’s party, there was dance and there was cricket star Vinod
Kambli. The students were excited to see Kambli and he was equally excited to see them. One often caught him being a part of the bash, which was inspired by the theme “Behind the masks.” Each mask was embellished with glitters and sparkles. The dress code for the freshers was black trousers with a shimmery upper and an eye mask. For the outgoing ones, the outfit comprised plain and shaded sarees with shimmery uppers. Boys had black trousers and designer shirts. The eye masks suited as perfect accessories to the outfits. They also kept the element of mystery alive throughout the show. The side events, except the ongoing dance and music sequences, were photo shoots for choosing Ms and Mr Fresher. The session fitted well in the enthused surroundings and was further enlivened with great music and props. The preliminary round ended with students being selected on the basis of their confidence and body language. Then followed the session which had them struggling with their brains to answer questions. For the outgoing lot, a catwalk round was also part of the sessions. The panel of judges comprised Vinod Kambli to judge the strength, Shiv Singh to judge the balance, Rangoli Sodhi to judge the looks and Rakesh Jolly and Lalita Prakash to judge the rest. The honours went to Manmeet Chohan (Ms Beautiful Eyes), Poonam Gupta (Ms Beautiful Smile), Esha (Ms Beautiful Hair), Jagjit Singh
(Mr Photogenic), Shilpy Sethi (Ms Photogenic), Ambrish Katoch (Mr Personality), Pria Boparai (Ms Personality), Siddhartha
(Mr Fresher), Nidhi (Ms Fresher), Avinash (Mr Outgoing) and Shweta (Ms
Outgoing). |

Notice issued on change of
uniform Chandigarh, October 5 In their petition, filed jointly by 32 MNS officers, they have sought quashing of Army order dated September 11, 2001, which stipulates a change in their uniform from olive green shirts and trousers to white button-down knee length coats and green trousers. The petitioners have also sought a stay on the order during the pendency of the petition. This is the second time in the past two months that the nurses have moved the High Court over their uniform change. The earlier petition filed in August had been dismissed as infructous, after counsel for the respondents placed on record a fax message from Army Headquarters that the earlier order issued in July for changing the uniform had been withdrawn. However, the order was issued again on September 11, which led to the MNS officers moving court again. |

Another performance by
Shankar Chandigarh, October 5 Today, the performance of the singer began much later than the scheduled time. So after waiting for a good about an hour, the singer finally appeared on the stage, music to the delight of the waiting audience. The disgust caused due to unwarranted delay, however, waned as the singer took over the stage and started doling out one hit after the other. Shankar sang numbers from his latest music album ‘Kudiyaan’. After the success of ‘Kudi kurmuri’ and ‘Yaari yaari’, released over the past two years, the new album of Shankar is about serious melody, in that it transcends the world of pop to experiment with a blend of Punjabi folk and Sufi gayaki. |
