To define Swagat , to add an adjective to it or to convey the joy and wonder it brought with it seems like a tough thing to do..But I will still try and make an attempt!
You could call it..’An event that enthralled Trinfoscions’..’Awed the audience’..’Thrilled the participants’..’Delighted the organizers,’..’Surprised many a lot’ and so on . But in short..Swagat glued the audience to their seats and burst up a never-before-seen event @TrivandrumDC !
What started as a humble mail to a few concerned folks, with an idea to conduct an event which would knit Dance, Drama, Music and Fashion show onto a single thread ended as a delightful event that would be cherished by everyone who performed and witnessed it, for long !
This idea was built upon on, shared, brainstormed on, debated upon , dreamt of and what not to be fabricated as SWAGAT ! With a core team in place, the hunt for dancers, actors, musicians and models got underway as nominations were called for, from fresh talents to audition . The sea of fresh talent were shortlisted following the grand auditions, which received an overwhelming response.
Following many more meetings and discussions , with the theme decided upon - the dance, music and drama teams set out on getting their respective arts underway.
The scriptwriters, dreamt of ‘The Awakening’ as they penned down the story of Ram Vinayak and his legacy. The actors lived through the script. The dubbing artists rendered the sound for the audio track. The choreographers, danced to the tunes of ‘The Awakening’ . And the musicians practiced the songs of ‘The Awakening’.
After very many days and nights of 100+ artists trying to get their act together..perfecting that act, on the 11th of August, the first ever live movie @ Trinfy opened to a full house at 5:30 pm. What unfolded on the stage in the next 3 hours was brilliance !
Hangover – The Trinfy Music Band mesmerized the crowd with few soulful numbers. Title track of Kannathil Muthamittal, Enamo Yedho and Oruvan Oruvan Muthalali to name a few.
InZync – The Dance Club set the stage on fire with 5 back to back high energy performances that stole the hearts of Trinfoscions.
Trinfy Theatres – The Drama team enacted ‘The Awakening’ – The live movie. The Awakening told the story of Ram Vinayak, a freedom fighter driven by his love for his motherland , who’s legacy inspires and awakens his Grandson Rohan – from being an aimless youngster to a mature citizen involved in initiatives that help make the world a better place to live in !
With stellar performances from each and every actor on stage, with aptly chosen songs and very well choreographed dances, with a brilliant Fashion Show that depicted the costumes of various eras, regions and sects across the length and breadth of our motherland, with seamless transitions between past, present and the future.. The Trinfy crowd witnessed an evening that will remain etched in their memories for long.

The wonderful audience they were, Trinfoscions applauded and appreciated the efforts of the Swagat team with a standing ovation, an applause that brought tears to many a folks as the sense of having achievement dawned !
And now if I need to summarize SWAGAT in one word, it would be:A SPECTACLE !
