i had no idea how to begin writing this ... but as i startd jotting down .. it seemed to pour in >>>

Enuff time for practise(4 months) but we nevr learnd anthn frm thm actuallyyy..
Even th cd was compiled on th day(music to which we were supposed to dance)
which means we nevr practised with th song ...live music n dance was our item ..woh tho door ki baat hai>>

lot of mess n we began our journey by intercity .. mess-- i 4got ..

I mean, how can i 4gt tht ... th song was mixd n we had to take it on a cd which meant we needed a pc.. hostels pc cudnt b used (ya thngs nevr work wen u badly want thm) coz th dvd drive itself was damagd
so 2nd option .. it shud hav been th 1st option but u knw th oblivions curse !!
Vishnu .. ma classmate haas a lap which he brings evry day ... bt thn nero wasnt available... him being a linux enthusiast even tried usin unix crapp to burn an audio cd ,,terribly failing - owing to th user friendliness...
n sooo th only othr option was mediaplayer .. guess wat !! even thaat was a tough job ..tuk some 30 mins to write abt 100 mb !! wow cool!! aint that fast enuf for 1 gb ram with core2duo.

so we hauled in ...rite wen th train was to leave. Reached ekm aftr 5-6 hrs of a nice journey..Th star war bus came to th station to pick us up. We stopped in front of a 'panthal' setup .. with blue tarpaulins n a gr8 stage!! evry1 were like " whaat th f#@$!:"" were we to practise in junkyard?? wen we dreamd off air conditioned studio setup. thankfully tht was our mess n we were thn taken to th actual stage . Merzmerised we were lukin at th techno stuff around and th lightin n evrythn i shud say . so was it airconditioned with 2 massive propeller like Ac's to compensate th 24k watt lighting .

thn 4 sUmos .. i mean sumo cars tuk us to th staRLodge ..which was a house in a colony .. Lukd dumb for we had not gone for sme cultural meet ..it was supposed to b 'star wars' hosted by kairali.. 50 ppl staying in a 3 bed room house with 2 bathrooms without paani (Mind it!! ). . all we had for drinking was a small kooja of water n tht finished off in seccs...

our company at th bhargavinilayam were mostly drunkards on a high !! one among them acted stage co-ordinator making us fools n (yeaahh we believed he was som technician --he lukd old n stpd enuf for a spotboy atleast) He dictated to us ol stuff we shud b doin n we shudnt b wen we were on stage!! aftr oll that we listened to, we seemed to understand -it was well planned. Enuff off practise for th day n ol of us dozzed off to begin th "star life" .
Slept at abt 1 a.m n i GOT UP at 4 a.m .(there is prrooof to this .. i've sent ppl msgs ... trust me !!)

Morning . . we practised a litl on th terrace n had to stop as there wasnt even a sign of an oasis around! by abt 6.30 evry1 got ready ,,takin a bath on th terrace with watevr water was left in th tank . WE set off for th studio !!

i did nt want ny break fast ...ol i wantd was to finish off our event ASAP n with no errs ..
1st the song was recorded... i mean our song "paal pole" for th live music with dance .
to speak of th technical stuff... 2nds was out--they said (for the song) !! dnt knw wat that meant--just felt like writin it .. ;)

We finished off our dance with maxm perfection we had evr achieved .. to speak th truth we had nevr practised th whole song ie w/o takin breaks n doin th complete steps.. nevr thot we cud do it on stage ,but with gods grace or th prayers of evry wellwisher.. we did IT >>

aftr this was our chance to break th chord. 3 competing collegs stood against us alone .. n guess wat they nevr stood a chance ,once we decided to rock th dice !! they sang n cheered to the tunes of folk music.. while we cheered for GEC n chellappan n oll... (th truth being ..none off us knew folkish songs n v cud nevr create such ambience with those kind of songs ) they were like jealous n thot we were ol mere show off pppl ,whu wudnt think so .... 5 digis ,, nice phones... cool clothes... rbk, nike, addidas shoes to shake feet on th stage .. They nevr cud guess they were ol borrowed n rented ..hehheee!! ;)

Aftr evry thng was shot it was time to announce th results .. which meant we were to stay on stage for an hour listenin to -ves n +ve feedbacks of each event, i stood right under some scorching spot light>> more than the tension they tried to create ,the heat was getting me restless..

We won against our first opponent ... n that was more than reason for us to b proud of ourselves .. nevr even thot we'd be 3rd..
second collg n ours ,,we had some 11 point lead .. n nw we were like ... wat iff we win >> n wat iff we dont...
ol our fingers were kept crossed n we wre hoping there wudnt b an elimination round (for bonus points) coz thn we'd lose advantage against Amal.. whu sang not much diffrnt form yesudas -- seriously >> he was thaattt GOOD ... (aftr the pgm girls were like " amal ,, pls dnt leave.. finish off th sng naaa ")
n aftr a long pause Sriram sir announced .. GEC ..... winss .. ohh .. godd gracious ..ol off us were on cloud nine .. (iff theres a cloud 10 .. on that i shud say ) we were that happy,, soo happy ,, cant say howw happy... We are slected into the quarters which meant we wudd come bakk... to meet more celebs n sugarifyy .... n more off mouthlukin !! >> we await for th schedule n this time we are gonna go with th aim n dreams off winning>>

oct 10th :-

This mite b a litl old --- but theres nothn new that i've come up with in colleg neither elsewhere ,,so lemme start off my blog like this ----

Something that most of u heard of ,, but not like this :

Any1 of u studyn in collg shud know the urge u feel for ur bed aftr listenin to 5 hrs of lullaby ,, so did i - n i decide to bunk an hr class ... being the last hour n destined for the comin up events, i meet this junior with a lottt of respct for seniors n not a bit of 'jaada' . WE had already met for which s3 had been warned -not to even ask names of junior babies. Ragging is a term u shouldnt even think of to define wat conversations we had earlier ,,but this lady n her dad complains torture from seniors to beloved princi n that was y we were warned .

I wanted to give her clear notions on y she shud pay a litl more respect ,,for - there wd b som prgrm in collg , n on that day nythng is unofficial n off the records...

Aftr wat i talked to the 'bItCh'---- lets call her B..... B n her gOd FathEr, i mean her dad conspires to our dear princi abt the indisciplined, irrelevant behaviour of her beloved seniors. . .

H.O.D n her crew decide to nominate n punish the 'prblm child' of s3 ae n I ... n so comes up my name without any confusion .

Im called upon while adding an hour to my m3 attendance n i get to listen to the very expected 'enthaaa opiche ' from dear Girija ma'm who has atleast th credibility of teaching me math thru s1s2 . . wat i dont get is, how ppl like mr S.K who has never even seen me b4 get so prejudistic abt me n my attitude...

aftr listening to dumb speeches n 100 ways on how to go abt in GECK in th very own oxford slang they expect me to tell them i'd bring my parents the very next moment in a chartered flight n accuse them for bringing up me the way i am . . . guess wat ,, i said business meant being busy n M.A.C.T doesnt work as my mom wants it to these days. .

n so they dcide im not courteous enough for th simplest jesture they were to offer. S.K n team discusses th issue with union n othr relevant ppl... By the virtue of havin th best pals around B's dad makes entry aftr a lot of persuasion n apologies ( machoos ,, ningal illarunnell ... im fallin short of words here for i dnt knw hw to thank or express how honoured i am with such frns..... )

so thn all apologies accepted n th case(which wasnt there in any case) withdrawn .But for the atrocities of th accused, dad is called upon .(They make it a point to inform my dad, mom, my cozn- who'd hav latter told his parents too ,, so as to make th accused an odd figure -- out of th fame)

poor dad who had left tcr th very same mornin aftr a days stay comes back despite of th illness- for- th panel questions his reachability iff i were to be taken on bail in case of a written complaint..

He gets to listen to all typical 'me' stuff i've been doin for 3 sems ,, also gets to see the perfomance charts includin th attndce list(which gets me surprised -for i've more than 60% attnce they say ) n marklists . . . attitude,irresponsibility,disrespect n substandard perfomance (yess i accept, my behaviour justify these - - a lot of times )

dad goes back,, but we drop th idea of celebratin ramzan n sabeers b'day at yasar's n his place.

im here at my place puttin this up.. n im not sorrry for wat i told th B , iff any of u think i should b ,,pls do tel me...

(i misd out on this ,, in a frantic search for th B 's den -adi is sent across to get B's dad's num , she ends up gettin caught by s.k ... she explains how she had askd only her name,, but th B thinks otherwise... she convinces s.k , ' she was bein threatened for her dads num n tht she had come out to meet the senior for th senior claimed of takin an appointment from the princi' Adi is later relieved only with a yellow card to her records n a que 'what would hav the accused done with th num' as if i were to get the num of some hot chic in college )

( sanju,Prejith,Pravi get busted for tripling on bhais horse but escapes w/o the charged :1100 (1/3rd of what u could get sellin that thing - no offence meant... hehe) )

(a snake .. yes naja naja frm th crawlin species makes its way over Fasils leg n Kiran gets th joy of watchin it huzzle thru )

i guess thats it... any1 who knows or hav had more ,, ???

gr8 day for s3 applieds... very next day aftr th anniversary of joinin our prestigious insti . . . (no sarcasms intended... )

;)
