BC at its peak :)

A pic to remember.."Yaaron"
A pic to remember.."Yaaron"

My neck and back are hurting with all the head banging, throat is sore and paining a bit with all the shouting, legs are paining and am so tired that going to the water cooler to fill my water bottle seems an ordeal out of my bounds, am quite ready to spend the night thirsty 😉 and yet couldnt stop myself from blogging about it.. Time seems to running like sand from our hands and we can do nothing except see the time flying past and do BC, BC and more BC and BC we did on our last Cultural Night. The last time we attended any special night in IIIT, ofcourse farewell would be the last but that’s  an altogether different game 🙂

I don’t  think words would do justice to what happened tonight but it was the BEST cult night in 4 years of IIIT. I don’t remember any performances by the participants. It was madness all around, no thought or attention being given to any participant or their acts on stage. It was just a round of leofying which just kept going on and on and on. Khatri and Gupta being the stars of the night, but nobody was spared. People were lifted from their chairs on the shoulders of others, people were lifted along with their chairs, most memorable one was lifting our dear Pati sir 😛 and taking him to the front of the crowd 😛

People were dancing like crazy, dancing on ground, dancing on chair, everywhere you could see UG4 guys “machaofying” as much as their stamina allowed them. One look at the madmen at the ground and the cries of G for ***** and G**** Un*** seemed more like war cry, than the usual banter which it actually was. There were plans being drawn since morning as to what to do on this special occasion, though nothing special could be done but people were in a mood to do something extra-ordinary and unprecedented. Things started with the Inter-House antakshari which fortunately for the audience had quite some participants from the 4th year 😛 (Me being one of the victims here), a mail was duly sent to UG4 so that people could come and leofy their batchmates present on stage :P. If anybody could have witnessed the situation in mess, just after the event and before the dance programs, they would have definitely got the idea of what was going to happen, people were shouting out loud without any reasons, almost 50 voices rising in unison at the same time, 100 hands were banging the table. All this activity even worried the mess people who came out expecting some fight, just to find some people laughing away to glory.

The recognition to the activities of the evening came during some not so good performance when we guys started pretending to wipe our tears which was given a standing ovation by a group of some 20-25 people. Have never seen such a big crowd applauding such insane acts. It felt just awesome.. 🙂

Not intending to write too much, will finish off with the DJ night, which seemed to be a heaven sent oppurtinity for us guys, who had the last taste of DJ night in IIIT today. DJ was as always fun, and the greatest part was, the song “Yaaron” being played towards the end. If there is a song which could make you feel more nostalgic about friends then I am yet to listen to it. It is the GOD song when it comes to friendship.

This might not be a very politically correct statement to make, but looking at our batch these days, I feel that no batch (the ones I have seen closely) have had so much unity. It feels so great to be a part of such a nice group 🙂 (Again no intentions to hurt anybody from any batch, pls pardon me if you feel hurt or angry at me :), mujhko yaaron maaf karna main (dosti ke)nashe mein hun )

Song of the Day:- Yaaron by KK (Could it have been any other song :P)

PS1:- Dont think this would be interesting to any of the readers but just wanted to keep a track of this night before the memories start fading 🙂
PS2:- A big round of thanks to Dhwaj from 2nd year for clikcing our photos and taking our video when all of us were enjoying Yaaron 🙂
PS3:- Its all coming to an end 😦 Mesa not like it 😐
PS4:- The levels of BC these days are unheard of, its just too awesome 😀
PS5:- Testimonial season in full swing, got loads of them to write, need to get down to writing 😐

Election election

One of the biggest problem of our democracy is that WE, the educated youth dont poll. Keep blaming the govt formed in polls. Though I am still of the “not awares” type.. Not voting 😛
But am glad to see that the youth junta is awake this time and my frnds are sending messages and buzzing me, asking me to vote.. May be by the next elections our youth will be more awake…
Here’s a toast to the health of democracy 🙂

Whos the Funniest??

A few weeks back, just after Karan started watching Coupling. He had this status about who the greatest comedian is. His options were Kelso, Sheldon, Jeff & Barney. He was taking a poll sorta thing on gtalk. So I thought why not put it on blog. Readers must be fuming over the absebce of Joey in his list. In his defense he hadnt seen FRIENDS then 🙂
So my options arranged in the order in which I saw the shows are


Song of the Day – Whole lotta love by Led Zeppelin

PS1: Sorry Karan for stealing your idea.
PS2: Only 3 people from our batch got IIM converts :O :O :O Worst performance in ages
PS3: Abbulu also posted on the same lines, but he gave just 2 options 😐

An Interesting Conversation with Mom :P

Was talking to mom yesterday and there was some talk about farewell and events related to it. Here is an excerpt from the conversation

Mom : Drink to nahin karega na farewell pe??
(Although asking a question but in a tone which sounds more like ordering)
Me : (Sounding confused)Nahin
(try to sound uninterested coz you don’t have idea or interest in it)
Mom : Achha waise peeta hai tu??
(Making sure whether her “Good” son is still the same)
Me : Nahin ma…
(Irritated while lying to mom)
Mom : Achha chakhi to hogi?
(A bit excited 🙂 )
Me : Nahin maa kahan
(Chori pakdi gayi?? )
Mom : Areeee… collg mein 4 saal rehne ke bad tune ye bhi nahin kiya to kya kiya?
(Chiding tone)
Me : :O
(WTF!! Are the guys so cool about IT??? :O)

Since then, its been contemplation , contemplation and yet more contemplation 😛

Song of The Day:– The Times they Are A-Changing by Bob Dylan

UP identity crisis

Well this is gonna be quite an arbit post, just a thought which came to my mind which I am putting up here.

I was just wondering that people from every state in India have a particular name by which they are called but its only the states of UP & MP which don’t have any such name (ofcourse I am leaving out the north east states :P) Just listing it out for various states but cant seem to think of any such thing for my state 😐

Harayana – Harayanavi
Rajasthan – Rajasthani
Tamil Nadu – Tamil
Maharashtra – Marathi
….

and so on..

One explanation for this is, these states end with a “Pradesh” but then you have the term “telugu” for AP coz its origin can be credited to the language. At times these two states are called as “Hindi bhashi states” but never has any such name been conferred upon us.

I am unable to think of any other reasons for this treatment to us people, may be any educated and intellectual reader could help me out. 😛

Song of The Day -: I want You by The Beatles

PS1:- Had thought of writing my IIM-L GD/PI experience but too lazy to write it 😐
PS2:- Testi season in full flow but again too lazy to write or do anything these days 😦
PS3:- With all the talks about getting a flat and all, seriously feel like grown up these days
