Legend has it that Brahma created dance so that the ordinary mortals could understand the scriptures better. Lord Shiva described the cosmic process of creation and destruction through his “tandav†and Goddess Parvati responded with graceful and fluid “Lasyaâ€. Through the ages dancers and artists have given their interpretations of the epics and stories and in this event we ask the artists to depict a theme or story through dance in the same way.
Lasya gives a chance to each one of us to explore and nurture our talents either in the form of a solo or a group dances. It is a one stop that allows you to let your hair down and be the free spirit you have always wanted to be!! Lasya gives you an opportunity of a lifetime where you can not only compete, but interact with eminent dancers, and be judged by the best! We are calling dancers of all dance forms to live their dreams and be a part of one of the most awaited events of Mridang.

Throw in instant headshot kills, a carefully balanced arsenal and weapon limits, monetary rewards and punishments for kills, hostage rescues, hostage kills, etc, and consistently ingenious map design, and its not too hard to understand Counter-Strike's popularity. It demands proper teamwork and less gung ho Schwarzenegger antics than its rivals, and although not quite perfect it is extremely well balanced and finely tuned, and arguably represents the pinnacle of team-based multiplayer even now. Regularly threatened by an insurgent flavour of the month FPS, Counter Strike still remains the most popular game in its genre, and is fervently supported all over the Internet.
Rules: • Each team will consist of 5 players plus 1 player as reserve. • Computers and necessary infrastructure will be provided by the organizers. However, participants can bring in their own mouse, headphones and keyboards. • No automatic snipers and shields allowed. • Round time, freeze time etc will be announced by the organizer at the time of fest. • Maps open to play : D, D2, Aztec, Cbblestone, Inferno, Nuke, , Torn, Train. Additional maps added will be conveyed. Selection of maps will be randomly done by computer. • First game will be knife round on Dima. The winners will choose the sides as T or CT . • Further announcement about timings and schedule will be mailed to participants. Contact:

Messi, Ronaldo, Fabregas, Torres are some of the biggest names in world football who are going to be action during the event… well at least in the game room. You might like the stopovers of Ronaldo, or the perfect through balls of Fabregas, or the sheer awareness of Messi of spaces opening up seconds before they do, of defenders shifting their weights before they do. We see matches and are wowed by that moment of brilliance, sometimes a thumping 30 yard strike; sometimes a deft back heeled goal, or sometimes a perfectly timed sliding tackle inside the box. And then the crowd erupts. The real players are driven by the sheer love and adulation of the game. If you think you can replicate their moves, their goals, or even their celebrations, this is the place you would want to show it all off. Register and be a part of this event. Register and be the name you want others to remember you with!
Rules: • One vs One event • 4 minutes half time in pre quarter stages • Best of three final Contact:
