To continue with the rest of the story,the show was to start from 5 Pm,after the seniors last exam,but before that our classes ended at around 3 PM,as we had to fix up the place for the show,while the others slogged around trying to get all the lighting and sound in place,most of the people like me , wasim etc stayed back in our cool air conditioned classroom trying to relax and enjoy the time.
Which meant that it was madness for the students in class,it started with this sudden urge to lift all the people,well at least the male population in our class,around 6-7 guys were all out hoisting people up for no reason at all,while in the adjacent room our seniors were celebrating their escape from the college,we were celebrating being alive and well. Catching hold of people ,assigning a limb to a member and lifting em up high was an easy task as most of the bongs here are like those children from the Unicef ad[no offence meant] but then we decided to do something no one dares do ever,lift the heaviest biggest guy in class,something like the Big Show he is,and 6 to 7 of us managed to do it,needless to say that guys reaction was "Why me? wait how??? no no i will fall,arrey arrey save me......"
Our only fear was not for the guys falling on their ass but the fact that we might damage our projector ,finally it was my turn,people picked me up and everything was going fine until a senior came into the room and shouted "BIRTHDAY BUMPS???? LEMME GO"
and wham wham wham,started kicking my ass and since i pissed a lot of people off a lot,no one even stopped him to let him know my birthday was at least another 10 days away,friends ,yeah good friends.
The clock struck 5 and we started moving downstairs to the place where we were to hold the show,and while the seniors were busy taking the seats we decided to have a good old photo op,taking crazy stances and all,like most kids do,while everyone was busy thinking about the seniors we were busy thinking about how stupid we could look on camera,easy for me always.
The show starts with the two hosts ,one with a crappy accent and the guy trying to act all cool and suave probably to get some maagis on his side,we had an introduction by our principal and then the madness began,while everyone wanted a marketing sir to say something,a proper freak like us,another group wanted another marketing sir to say something and started shouting his name out loud,"Aaaaa GGGGGGGGG AAAAAA GGGGGG",we got a whiff off this and started shouting even louder than the 2nd years,he did comply and said a few things which no one listened to.
The cultural events started and that was my queue along with my friends to go out because we knew the cultural events werent up to scratch , and spending time with me and my madness was much more fun than watching something on stage,while i am cracking jokes on Rahul,since he is in "laaaab" with the female host of the show,in fact every time she came on stage and started saying something or asking some question to the crowd we ended up shouting only one thing
"arrey RAAAAHHUUUULLLLL,Rahul is here!!!!"
all the time,every time she was on stage we screamed out Rahul's name,it became so bad that the guy walked out of the show and waited outside until we cooled it a bit.
When he did return they started giving out those lame awards that are given to the students like "Comedian of the college" which according to most people right now,i am a sure shot to win,including the teachers,"best couple" also is a probability for me to win and so on,so while female host shouts in her crummy accent
"why cant i hear some noise???"
i scream out "BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO SHORT"
silence and then people stare at me,but i dont care and i look the other way.
The next bit was something i can never forget and has damaged me right to my soul,my core is broken somehow,everyone probably has heard the Bryan Adams song "Summer of '69" which is a classic,this guy from our college who studies in another program thinks he is the greatest singer in the world and he gets a couple of guys to play along with him,while the guitarist is strumming up no one cane make out what the song is till the guy suddently starts blurting out in his crummy accent
"saamur of seeecksty naaaine"
most of us are left in awe as to how could he sing like this,and its not like he sings well also,its bad its fucking bad,plus he moves his feet like in inches,is stuck to the stage somehow and the only body part that does move is his pelvic like he is trying ti impregnate the entire crowd,but seeing what a lame dick he is probably his dick is also lame,well it cant be lamer than him.When the performance ended,no one clapped but rather there was stark silence as to how he could desecrate such a song without even a little bit of remorse.
Then there was the problem with dinner,the food was actually quite good,at least better than expected,but the main problem was that uninvited people were eating the dinner and as one girl told me "Is he from our college"
i replied "I dont know,who cares?"
She said,"Well you can go up to him and ask him if he is a senior or not"
i though "Yes and he will let me know,that he is not a senior and is here for free dinner",while we somehow dodged being the security during dinner,the main course was about to come.
Now most people in our college like this whole idea about a Dj playing music and people dancing their ass' off,i for one am not much of a proper dancer,my dancing skills are based on 2 moves,the pagla haath dance or the beedi dance aka the patang udana dance,so i was not expecting anyone to dance par se properly ,music starts lights on and then the real paglami starts.
While i am stuck to my two move arsenal,the most decent guy i have ever met in my life Prithwi,decides to dance and by dance i mean he would sell Mithun out of the park,Hrithik Roshan would have been left in awe and well any other dancer should just go hang themselves,the only person who actually could do what Prithwi did was the late great Michael Jackson,but lets not go there,Prithwi's movements and gestures mesmerized us all,almost every first year student stopped dancing and was gawking at the madness that is Prithwi,hell he wanted someone to accompany him in the moves,but none of us could even do 5% of what he was doing,thus totally destroying what even little image he had left.
While the night ended and seniors left the college for good,the one memory of Prithwi dancing his ass off shall never be forgotten
LOVE LIVE THE PRITHWI
LONG LIVE THE MITHUN
