“Ek Lamha….Sarhad Ke Supooton ke Naam” began with an invocation dance to Lord Ganesha performed by Shruti Mutrak. It was followed by a musical feast by #STC Melodians Swati Kamtikar, Anita Pathak, Jini Patel, Aaditya Dongarsane, Abhijeet Kulkarni, Sanjay Deshpande, Vinayak Sondkar, Tushar Nargund, Omkar Phatak and Parikshit Mutrak who entertained the audience with popular numbers from Hindi films as well as patriotic songs. They were accompanied by a live band of musicians that added to the musical ambience of the evening. The anchor for the programme, Akshay Watve, deftly, effectively and evocatively conveyed the sentiments of the music and the songs to the audience. He added seasoning to the feast with his clever quips, comments and couplets between songs.

The Programme concluded with the #STC founder, Aaditya Dongarsane expressing gratitude to the special guests and the audience, as well as the pledge to organise a similar event with #STC again soon. The programme ended with all #STC members singing ‘Sur Tech Chhedita’.

The motive behind the event was not just entertainment but to bestow the remaining amount of Rs. 25,000/- to the Army Welfare Fund.
