Vista 2006

I shall not delve into the details right now. There's too much to be told. Here's an extremely short summary.
Vista 2006 is over. I doubt if it ever did really began in the first place. I literally tore a muscle preparing for it in the process.
It still hurts. Somehow everyone in college seems to know about this little freak accident.


Compering for college events can be one of the most boring and pointless things to do on this planet. Hardy's coat was no good. Way too big for me.
Anyways, Our duet dance was average ( implying flawed ) though I still believe we have the worst stage in the universe. Green carpets put together with scotch tape are not conducive for dancing or any other thing for that matter. The Best Event Award means nothing to me. Sick stage, Sick organisers, sick overall management.

Bhangra and Gidda were cancelled. Sick. Offcourse we have only one woman to blame. I'm sure you know who she is.

Lame execution of MJ's performance for the group dance. Truly shameful.All of us should go die in the pond near the college and never show our heads again. That should sum it up to a great
extent.
Offcourse Shantanu (CS- FInal Year) deserves much of the blame for this (He was supposed to hand us our costumes for the MJ routine. We had to change in the middle of the sequence - we had another sequence before the MJ and all girls one, which we now refer to as Bhoru Dance.)
This was to be followed by a girl's only performance during which we were supposed to change. We came running backstage only to find Shantanu applauding the all girls performance. Anyways, after Mani exercised his vocal chords on shantanu we finally changed into our new dresses only to find that everybody had missed the cue to enter the stage. What followed, especially in the next 30 seconds, was on stage shouts to each other to get into positions for the formations.

Saurabh : Mani position le

Aseem : Saurabh peeche jaa, peeche jaa.

Sobby : Abhinav jaldi kar, jaldi kar.

Aseem : Mani ...lift. Go go go go go.

(This happened in around two seconds)

Mani, Sobby, Saurabh, Abhinav, Romit : 1........2...........3........

(And i'm air borne).

2 seconds and a whole lot of chaos later ...

Mani : 2nd formation chodo... positions positions positions ......

(Mani and I are scrambling to get to our hats when we see that the other are ready for the formation so we come running
back from our positions for the formation).


Saurabh : Sobby let jaa.

Romit : Chal abhinav, chadh.

Saurabh : Lift!!!!

Aseem : Abhinav khade ho.

Mani : Abhinav JUMP!!!!!!!!!!

Sobby : Abhi JUMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Saurabh, Romit : JUMP KAR ABHINAV.

Abhinav jumps and the formation is over and everybody rushes to their places. That's when it dawns on us that the next cue has been missed as well.

The above conversation happened in less than 20 seconds.

Offcourse this is not the entire transcript( a LOT on coversing took place during this rather brief moment but you get the general idea.

What followed was a disgraceful performance.
No practice. Zilch coordination. Bad execution. One thing leads to another .

There exists no word in the English language that can document my feelings for what happened yesterday night.I'd love to elucidate on what's been happening int he poast few days but i have to go right now.

Parhelion 2006 shall have to compensate for yesterday. We'll have it no other way.
