Rang Barse... jamke

Away from the mechanical city lives, amid rocks and the green fields, the spirits came alive. Young and the old alike, colour smeared all over, came out with friends and relatives and painted the countryside red.

Adding to their excitement was the high wattage music that touched each and every sense of the body. Well, two young sensations in the field of music -- Shaan and Sagarika -- were there and it was but natural that the youthfulness was bound to spring up.

`Rang Barse' - the Holi bash at Country Club International, about 30 k.m. away from the city, was a riot of colours. The scene was one of unbridled enthusiasm and people's appearances were beyond recognition. Sporting screaming pink and dazzling silver, they sunk in the joyous spirit of Holi. When ever some foot stomping numbers were aired, the enthusiastic crowd just turned ecstatic.

The unexpected low turnout was no dampener to the spirited guys and girls. They gathered at a snail's pace, much beyond the scheduled time, but time just clicked by after they took over the dancing ring. The shaking process went on for hours with R.D. Burman and Kishore Kumar, through Shaan and Sagarika, driving energy into the jaded souls.

Some pretty looking girls tried a new way of setting the ramp on fire, when Shaan and his sibling Sagarika preferred a break. The show was in tune with the `Rang Barse' theme and the local models jived to the latest bollywood hits that had a dash of `Holi' and lots of colour attached to them. They all looked pretty ordinary and totally deviated from their profession but for the girl who danced on the number "Mujhe Rang De". Her dancing skills made up for everything.

The unusually large presence of police and the absence of rain dance did dampen the spirits. But it soon evaporated with the heat generated by Shaan-Sagarika music on the stage and the scorching Sun above the head.
