Recollections from the International Students’ Festival in Trondheim 2013

We
all converge at Studentersamfundet
and by now I could pronounce it aptly. Even though I visited it daily, for 10
days, I still could not decipher its intricate structure that is so confusing
to the stranger. Its convoluted corridors appear the same to me. Outside, I enjoy tantalizing fragrance of
food being prepared in Sesam Burgers while we all light our torches. We march. We
march for peace, for freedom. We march for justice. We march.

Guys
are suited and booted, while girls have put up the finest dress and the highest
heels. Amani aka Peace, a Kenyan was looking beautiful in her Kenyan dress. I saw
many Norwegian women in the ‘bunads’.
The bunad is a beautiful dress, especially the Bergen variety, I don’t
understand why women in Norway don’t prefer wearing the bunads? We take some
group photographs and proceed to the Ceremony.

At
the Peace Prize Ceremony, the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra’s magnificent
performance and striking synchrony reminded me of days when I used to play the
Euphonium. The duo of the harpist’s charming maneuvers and the soprano’s
spectacular vocals enthralled a global audience. The drums play was stunning. I
literally became a fan of their dexterity at drums.
The Student's Peace Prize was
awarded to Iran’s Majid Tavakoli.
