Saarang 2008
Saarang, the annual cultural festival of IIT Madras, without any doubt is one of the many things that defines Chennai and the 2008 edition of this fest begins tomorrow, bigger and better than before as the students of IIT M always promise.
Apart from the usual events (Lits, DumbC, dance, music, dramatics, debate etc.) this time they have introduced four new events including Solo dance and Short Film Making. Short film making was actually introduced last year, but it didn’t take off as expected and hence it has been re-introduced this year.
But what takes the cake this year is their impressive workshop line-up, from hairstyling to cookery with Sanjeev Kapoor to animation workshop with Soundarya Rajnikanth (who is right now working on the animation film ‘Sultan’ presenting Superstar as a 3-d avatar) to DJing to dance to Kalaripayattu workshop.
I am impressed with their efforts to showcase an ancient Indian martial art form, Kalaripayattu, at their cultural festival. And oh! I am not going to forget to highlight the heart of every Saarang ‘Pro Shows’. This time they are flying down Lucky Ali on Saturday night.
Now enough of writing/reading about Saarang, it is time to experience it.
Do we need tickets or entry pass for this?
@Udayms:
For the pro-shows you need tickets, for the rest you don’t need. If you are into music, check the event decibels out.
Saarang Village is also a new venture this time. It’s gonna be showcasing ethnic stuff from all over india – everything from handicrafts to cultural performances! :D
Boy oh Boy….loads on the cards…i also wanted to know where the tickets will be available and also the cost of the ticket…can anyone provide me with that Info?

Vijay I think you posting the same question so many time is excessive. What song and dance do they have at this function? Will students of Chennai be displaying there Madras Bashai to people from other parts of India? This would be really cool we can show the rest of India how a beautiful language has been turned into trash by college students of Chennai. Or perhaps we can speak in English and Hindi to please the visitors who always complain that there is not enough people speaking Hindi in Chennai. Then we can really suprise people and show them that we are truly cosmopolitan and a bunch of idiots. It suprises me that people of Chennai say they do not understand Hindi yet the language the college students speak uses so many words from that language are you guys ignorant or what?
Those who wanted to know about pro-show tickets (cost and where to obtain them):
