Ay Makes A ‘Shaam Mastani’

Rtr. Bushra Shaikh and Rtr. Sejal Kesarwani, Partnersin- Services Directors of the Rotaract Club of Hinduja College, along with other Rotaractors of Hinduja College conducted a project called ‘Yeh Shaam Mastani’ on November 2nd, 2019 at the Byculla Centre of Ananda Yaan (in association with Dignity Foundation).

The project mainly focused on giving AY members a chance to perform and showcase their singing talents. Six teams of five AY members each had already been formed. They had been given a week to choose and practice their chosen songs.

On the day of the event, each team performed in front of the judges Rtr. Yashh Purohit (who has been participating and practising music for a few years) and Nidhi Tank, an award-winning singer who has participated in many competitions.

The event began with Rtr. Yashh Purohit playing the National Anthem upon his guitar. As soon as the teams were called upon, each performed their selected numbers which turned out to be both retro and classical. Their camaraderie and coordination impressed judges.

After the performances, the judges too performed a few songs for the AY members. The winners were then announced and rewarded gifts. Not only did the event bear witness to the beautiful voices of these senior citizens, it also marked the sincere effort of each team in making the evening an enjoyable one.

We would like to thank Rtn. Zeenia Master and the Rotaractors of Hinduja College for coming up with this outstanding idea and executing it with so much energy and enthusiasm.
