As the University of Calcutta is gearing up to reach the climax of its post-centenary golden julbile celebrations in a big way, it is very much nurturing young talents. The freshers' welcome ceremony for the students enrolled in the current session to study at the College Street campus was celebrated at the Centenary Hall, on Thursday, November 24 2005, under the aegis of the University Students' Union (Day).
After the students' cultural extravaganza, the packed gathering at the 'Parichay 2005', swayed to the tunes of Bengali and Hindi movie numbers sung by university alumnus, Moloy Dutta. 'Band-e-Mataram' champion Bangla band, 'Ishaan' hit the stage and was an instant hit as the students, juniors and seniors alike, clapped and danced to the invigorating music. Particularly impressive was Ishaan's own composition, 'Shishura Prithibi Chay', dedicated to those born and trapped to perish in red-light areas.
However, the other band, 'Richter Scale' was a big let-down, as the exuberant lead vocalist blasted a substantial chunk of the audience out of the auditorium. However, their choreography and music did salvage some pride for them.
