Preface

 REACH FOR MOO-RE… 

Zeal, enthusiasm, passion, handwork, confidence, team spirit and limitless creativity – this is what success stories are made up of. If this holds true, then we here at Umang can proudly claim that we are ready for the release of another bestseller -Umang 2007. “Umang” the annual Inter-collegiate festival of N.M College, is graced by the presence of over 100 colleges from Mumbai and a few from outstation too. Umang which is only eight years old attracts over 32,000 students and has already been given the tag of an irresistible adventure. 250 Umangites work indefatigably for months together with cheerful alacrity, which swings the pendulum of success in its favour. Umang consists of over 80 events which test the all-round dexterity of college students. We boast of Fashion shows, model hunts, Umang Idol, quizzes, JAM’s etc. War of the Djs is a musical extravaganza which sets the house on fire. The USP of the festival are unique events like Mock Parliament, Mock Court and Mock Stock Exchange which gives the participants a taste of the real deal. But the act that is the cynosure of Umang and which easily takes the cake is the PROnite. PROnite is a night in which eminent celebrities, bands, vocalists perform and enthrall the audience with their magic. Last year, we had the band Strings flying here all the way from Pakistan to perform and as expected; the audience was left screaming for more. On days, Umang is a recipe for ultimate adventure. While the informal games add tang to the recipe, cyber and outdoor games contribute a spice that caters to the insatiable desire of the gaming freaks. The Fine Arts section showcases the limitless creativity and talent of the budding artists. This year’s theme – “Emotions of Shakespeare” has already awakened the curiosity of people and everyone is looking forward to see the different forms of art. The food section comprises of several food stalls, which provide a treat for you. The unique variety of the food section really brings home the bacon for Umang and makes it a food connoisseur’s paradise. Uma – The Cow, our official mascot representates the fact that “Acceptance is the death of Ambition” – and we should always look to reach for MOO-RE. The extra ‘O’ emphasizes that creativity and ambition can never be stymied. It is not only a mascot, but also an inspiration for all us Umangiites. [On a lighter note, the extra ‘O’ sums up to be a ‘Moo’ of our adorable Uma] The theme of Umang this year is –‘Ride The Colour Coaster’. This is a vivid representation of the vibrancy of colors, colours of enthusiasm, passion, culture, hard-work and team work put into the festival. The theme clearly portrays the colorful emotions of those engaged with the fest and their mutli-coloured personalities mixing together to create a spectrum of colours. The coaster of course gives you a hint of the heart-stopping thrill one can experience here! Umang, now transformed into one of the biggest events in Mumbai, is going to be held this year from the 15th to the 19th of August. Thus, we invite every one to come take a ride to a land of limitless creativity. ‘Let boundaries be only in cricket’ was once said by one of our Umang Chairpersons and so we are all-set (once again) to make Umang every collegians Utopia!!
