Music Club story- Shruti's version

 Music Club Story

I still reminisce the day Teja wrote his version of the story. We read it out in the Jam room, put it up
on the blog. And that’s the only story that was ever written down. Stories were told though…I still
remember the day Prashanth told me and Sowmya Kilambi the story of the music club in the train during
my 1st year Saarang. We had tears in our eyes at the end of it, developed a proud feeling that we would
never let go of! Both the stories I personally read and heard in person were legendary.

“We may not remember the days we studied but we still remember the days we jammed!!”

For those who don’t know me, I am Shruti Royyuru, stepped into college on Sept 22nd 2005 and passed
out in 2009. I was in ECE Dept. Once it was decided I’d study in VNR VJIET at the counseling, I decided to
find out more about the college from my immediate School senior, immediate College senior and very
good friend – Nikhila Srikanth. It was then I first heard about the music club “Crescendo”.

She happened to know each and every member of the club personally and also follow the shows
regularly. There I was listening like an eager child about – Sylvester D’Souza a.k.a Syloo, Vidyadhar
Raghavan a.k.a Viddu, Sandeep Mocherla a.k.a Sandy, Anoosha Yerram, Vineeta, Osho and Dum Dum. I
went home filled with fantasies in my mind, thinking wow, these guys are so cool!

The day I entered college on Sept 22nd 2005, there was a technical fest going on in col – Vector. Bad
day to enter college, I know! Seniors

The music club story – Teja version

Ragging is good, because it brought out the raw talent in Teja and also made two other guys – Rama and Shanky his friends, in the barkatpura route bus. Prashant became a buddy because of a few hallway conversations and auditions for Saarang trip by the then (undefined) cultural committee. Saarang opened doors to the realm of organized way of doing creative work. And then came Springspree, of NIT Warangal, which for the first time gave the then college music team a reason to stay back after working hours and practice. Naveen came along in that trip to NIT Warangal. All the five guys never got together at this point of time, but probably shared a common idea of doing creative work in an organized way. Post cultural fests,
