Annual Day bonanza of the International College for Girls- ‘Fiesta 2003’ organized at the Birla Auditorium on 25th January enthralled the audience by staging a candid confluence of cultural extravaganza.The electrifying theme of Fiesta was imbued with bright hues of patriotic pop hits that flashed through dance performances and group songs. While unsurpassable threshold of rapturous twirl of dancers in Rajasthani Folk Dance was captivating, choreographies like ‘Dola Re Dola…’ and ‘Rabba, Rabba…..’ kept the viewers awestruck. The fancy-free students booed and cheered the artists on stage while the senior audiences were heard appreciating the depth of talent of the young performers. A feel of verve and vivacity stormed the show when the ICG troupe barged in with foot-tapping numbers of ‘Band of Boys’ & ‘Viva’.

The CD Presentation – Reminiscences 2002-03 – gave a quick glimpse of the various activities held in the college round the year.

Gunjan Sarojwal, the crowning “Kokila of the college, sung the timeless meaningful number ‘Aage Bhi Jane Nu Tu…’ from ‘Waqt’ in her mellifluous voice.

In keeping with the Indian tradition, the programme begun with ‘Vandana’, an invocation rendered as a ritual offering to Lord Ganesha where the young performers delighted the audience with the intricate body movements.

The Sapphires, Corals, Emeralds and Pearls, divided arbitrarily to group the glinting jewels, were represented by the office bearers who marched elegantly to hold the house flags high.

The Play on ‘Population Explosion’, showcasing threatening future affects of increasing population minute by minute, struck a message in the minds of the audience. Interwoven with sarcastic humour and effective one-liners, the drama regaled the viewers to become on instant hit.

The college magazine ‘Campus Strokes’, the voice of ICG, was released by the Chief Guest and the Guest of Honour. In the same ceremony the meritorious students were also felicitated. While various special Awards were given to the distinguished talents of the college, the ‘Jewel of ICG’ Award was bagged by the very talented Palki Sharma, the Head Girl of the College. Teachers, who’ve been associated with ICG right from the day when its foundation stone was laid in the year 1995, were also felicitated for their dedicated participation in making ICG what it is today.

Mere presence of the Royal Beauty Princess Diya Kumari, the guest of honour at the function, not only lent glamour to the evening but also enthused the students to no ends. Bemused at the performances par excellence, she lauded the students and the staff for their efforts in making the programme worth watching.

The Chief Guest Dr. B.D. Kalla, Minister for Art, Culture, Personnel and UDH, Rajasthan, was appreciative of the fact that the state of Rajasthan has a college that not only emphasises on academic excellence but also hone the hidden talents of the students. 

A good compering adds flavour to the item and entices the listeners to slaver in anticipation. Palki, Mumal, Komal and Rachna well fitted in their roles of comperes.

The show concluded amid blissful memories of fun adorned glittery evening.
