Variety and Dinner

If one has read the previous two posts i have written, the basic message has been that our class off late has completely changed. The chemistry has been higher than ever before. Confirming that belief, was the fact that for the "Variety' show in college, our friends managed to reserve two entire rows in the jam packed Audi just for our class mates.
I reached about 15 minutes late. But the performances i saw were really impressive. Must mention the fact that Mrs. Iyer sang the best [song was Chupke Se from Saathiya] and the dance performances were equally good. I must make a special mention of my friends Ms. P S and Ms. V V, who were performing in dance items.
But for me the stand out performance was by the guy who played lead guitar and lead vocals for the song 'Sultans Of Swing' [i'm waiting to get the video of that performance which i will upload soon]. It was a pity that most people in the audience hadn't heard the original ever, but i swear that even Mark Knopfler would have been proud. The guy didn't miss a single note while playing or a single line while singing. At the start there were a few people in the audience who were booing, because it was in English. But even those people were stunned into silence when the solo was played. Brilliant stuff dude!

Then again i must mention my friend and fellow Vincentian Mr. A T [the guy who was acting as Nana Patekar and Akbar in the mad ads and all]. He was really hilarious and the timing of his jokes were brilliant. He even sang 'Woh Lamhe' very well.

Finally those who have been watching the Variety and other such events for the past 2 years will very well be aware of Saahil. This guy can sing, its very difficult to live upto expectation each time and as soon as he came on stage for his performance everyone was looking forward to an awesome performance and he delivered. He sang 'Aadat' and it was really well done.

In the evening came the DJ Nite and the dinner. I danced again with my friends, good friend Mr. P S even recorded my weird but enjoyable dance performance. This time the location was the GPP boat club, just a few meters away from the Trad Day dance floor [ dance garden or wateva]. Then we headed off for dinner and again our class showed the way to the others by sitting as a group in lawn next to the instru building. Other groups followed our lead. I only hope this good rapport continues to grow.

The last couple of days have been a lot of fun and i am glad that i went for the events. But i can't help but ponder about one weird thing that happened last night during the gathering dinner. A couple of Profs i saw were looking at some students with a very evil grin, almost as if saying 'enjoy yourselves while you can' ;)
