Vastrapur Main Vastra haran!!!- its that kind of a year

It's 1.19 am on the clock in the classroom… The last four days have been a whirlwind of activities... There are a few of us here, who haven’t gone to their rooms for over two days… a few of us have not had a morsel of food in the last 48 hours…. And right now after our last performance, I see my batchmates have to clean the classroom… (We will be penalized otherwise... hehe)…Yet, strangely, it doesn’t feel that bad…You need to see the look on some of their faces – there is a strange joy… I think – we are all a bit neurotic to devote our sleep, our food, our thoughts, and more importantly our holidays (Trust me – at IIMA, holidays are a luxury)… for what? … For some concept that was totally alien to us 4 days ago...- I present to you – T-Nites… and more importantly- T-Nites and Section B….. It is a love story – a love story that apparently has taken 20 years... B’s Saal Baad…

So what the hell is T-nites? … T-nites are basically a show put on by the first yearites... for the second yearites- Four days spread over intense competition, bizarre themes, crazy section names… and lot of fun…

This is what happens – We have four sections – A, B, C, D and there is the PGPX..section X… so we have 5 sections competeting for one coveted prize – The Talent Nite Trophy.. At WIMWI, everyone is good at writing exams, mugging stuff, doing everything acad oriented- but the thing at this place – highest respect is reserved for those who excel outside the classroom- for those who believe that life has something more to offer than just CG and marksI am section B... we named our section Bichoos... the others were - Absoluts, C'kanders, Danga Bol and Xtrados- for A,C,D and X sections..

The four days were really fun.. people say that section B ke bacche are 'give-up'... that is we dont even put in a fight..
I remember our senior telling us that
" Main yeh toh nahi bol sakta , ki jeetna kaisa lagta hai...
Lekin main yeh bol sakta hu , ki haarna kaisa lagta hai.."

And from that point onwards, it was like a few of us decided, that here was a chance to create history...it wasn't that the most talented class would win .. but it was more like - the most "enthu" wala class will win...

The four days were hectic.. I had to go to mumbai in between for the documents and certificates...
The day i came back - I found that we had done miserably- we started well on the first day.. then on the second day, I left ..and on the third day when i returned - i found we were last on day 2... and lot of us had started given up hope.. I think I perform really well when everyone around me is tense/depressed... so I was all super Enthu.. started motivating the people around me... was positive in terms of my body language.. was ok...you learn to find out who can work ..and those who can but won't..

End of day 3 - we were back in the game !! not that people around here would admit it ..but deep down i know that i was at least responsible for some of the winnings.. The next two days were high -profile and required a lot of class participation - there was a special CLASS ACT - wherein the points given to a class depended on the number of the students turning up in the class act.. it was fun..

Then there was a One act play - wherein we put up a play of the pandavas losing the game to kauravas... it was fun ...
there were some classic lines which were like
"Vastrapur main Vastra haran !!!"

Then.. Lord krishna comes to save Draupadi from the the saree unwrapping and finds draupadi is crying .. so Krishna asks
"Arre!! Main toh theek time pe aaya - 12 baje bola tha .. na !! "
and Draupadi says
"Kya Krishna- idhar 12 pm ki koi value nahi .. deadline toh 11.59.59 ki thi!!!"

the whole crowd went mad!!!

It went like for the last day... on the last day.. we had just exceeded everyone's expectations... tucchas would go like - "This is section B..? "

We are lucky that in our section ...we have had great characters - people who actually dont take themselves seriously.. and when it comes to the final analysis - the Juice was Worth the Squeeze..
....
P.S : It was B's saal ... and the day we won - India won its gold at Olympics.. i guess it's that kind of a year...
