Perfect start, happy ending for Brouhaha

Riddhi Parekh and Pooja Gururaj

The final day of Brouhaha ’07 got off to a perfect start with The Ultimate Titan, a water game which left the participants drenched and the audience amused. A prize-winning performance by Siddharth College won the hearts of the crowd when they performed a mix of traditional dances from all over India for Folklore.

After four days of rigorous tests, HR College emerged winners of The Conquerors, an event based on entrepreneurship skills. Also coming from the Fine Arts department was Philatelic Fixation with Bollywood presented through stamps. With anti- drugs as its theme, Caper-A-Cause had participants create thoughtful posters.

On a lighter note, Epiphaly had contestants show their instrumental talents. With his mesmerising guitar performance, Imlitengen Imchen, a Xavierite was the clear winner.

Darshan Dave, an All India Intermediate Salsa Champion conducted Dirty Dancing, a salsa workshop for students to shimmy and shake a leg.

Informal, as the name suggests, had the audience do whacky tasks like breaking a coconut to making the guys walking the ramp as girls. Well-known media personalities judged the finals of Mr and Miss Brouhaha. Rishi from Xavier’s College and Freya from HR College were crowned Mr and Miss Brouhaha respectively.

Amidst all the excitement Brouhaha also seemed to be an event with a cause by providing a platform to orphan children from Anand Kendra who performed a musical. From aspects such as child abuse to HIV awareness Brouhaha has represented itself not just as any festival but one with a responsibility.

As a grand finale to the event, Ramp Age proved to be a definite crowd-puller. Judging this event was VJ Piya, joined by Nakul and Arjun, popular actors from the television show Jersey No 10.

With a spectrum of events spread over a five days, Brouhaha got its well-deserved happy ending. The first prize went to HR College, second to Sydenham College and the third prize was won by St Xavier’s.
