Solstice

Solstice is the home coming for the alumni, they are having party after party and the environment is electric. So I should not write about the words of wisdom we are gaining and am writing a bit about the evening itself.

I am just back from the Concert of ‘Indian Ocean’. Marewa, Kandisa, Bande, Kaun, the best songs of their collections were all there. From the melodies of the desert to the baul music of Bengal, almost everything was soul stirring (no jargon, I mean it).

Some generous souls had also sponsored free drinks and people had a good time. For the teetotalers, music itself was good enough to cause the intoxication. No wonder musicians accompanied armies to raise the tempo of the warriors during the war; some ragas can pump so much adrenalin into the blood.

I met someone from the first batch who has been coming at Solstice since then; it’s a wonderful home coming every time he said. Solstice is surely a great tradition for a young school; I hope it will strengthen over the years. And like yesterday, it seems the party will continue for the whole night.
