Geet Purvai Skits

Dear Readers,

Those of you who participated or were the audiences in Geet Purvai 2006 will recall the skit we had then.

For non singers:

Those people who do not want to sing but still want to participate in the event are definitely encouraged to participate in the "Geet Purvai Skit". This is a real exciting part of the show. This will be a live demo of acting, dancing and playback singing the way it happens in Bollywood movies !!!

A few of you will act and dance on stage and few of you will sing from side stage.

Stories are welcome and in the past years they usually centered around "A guy meets a gal"..."Our college days"...

Give wings to your imagination - and this year too, we can make a great show by performing something similar/different or something like this.

Have ideas but do not have a team ? Come to us - we will form the teams.

Much love,

Geet Purvai team.
