Star Nights@PULSE

‘Pulse’, one of the biggest college festival of the medical fraternity in South-East Asia was rocked by the ‘Voice of Jordan : Mohit Chauhan’ on 20th September, 2014 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here in New Delhi.

Though the show was suppose to kick off at 8 in the evening, the students started gathering in from 5 itself.

the man who shot to fame with his super duper hits from the movie Rockstar enthralled the campus with his soulful numbers. While ‘Tumse hi din hota hai”, Pee loon’ and ‘Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai’ made the atmosphere romantic, Nadaan Parindey and Sadda Haq made it electrifying and pumped up the energy level of the massive student crowd gathered at the campus of AIIMS. And it was not just the performance of Mohit Chauhan made the students raise their hands but also his interaction in between his performance was highly appreciated. He said ‘ It is great to see so many medicos to have gathered at one place and I am sure for them ‘Sadda Haq’ is making the country a healthy and a better place to live.’

And if its ‘Pulse’, one of the most awaited events in the calendar year of any medical student, it was definitely an evening to remember.
