Expect nothing. And I'll live upto it.

What not to do at a college fest


The college fest started yesterday, which means that the classes are suspended (Woohoo!), gaudy posters are stuck in every inch of the college reminding us of the various events and the college is over-run with pretty girls who would otherwise never venture into the college, all dressed in similar outfits (tight tank-tops) to coax and goad us timid college-goers into participating in one banal event or the other (Contrary to rumours being spread, beer drinking isn't one of them). But they won't get me. I'll choose not to participate; instead I'll cowardly use the cover of the dark auditorium and jeer the participants.

The first major event I saw was creative dancing (who better to jeer than spandex wearing men?). While the break dance was the most popular (Spastic gyrations? Epileptic fits?), there was one guy who took break dancing to the next (albeit comedic) level. I don't know why but he went on stage wearing a blindfold (to counter stage fright or just a gimmick were the popular theories doing the rounds in the auditorium). He started off well and thirty seconds into the dance he pirouetted twice. Well executed twirls. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. He lost his orientation and then for the next ten minutes he danced to the side wall. He seemed to enjoying himself - even blowing kisses at the wall. During the fiasco, the audience kept shouting 'Turn to your right!'. He seemed oblivious to the shouts. He ended it by bowing (to the wall!), took two steps back and unfolded his blindfold.

Expensive jogging shoes + track suit = 1000 Rs.
Sunglasses + Soundtrack to Britney Spears' Womanizer = 500 Rs
Dancing to an obdurate wall, blowing kisses to it and then bowing to it = Priceless.

I would've continued on this tirade to the other contests I saw.....but, that would be treading on thin ice.

Mr 'I'm bored!, so Bored!' warned me about making fun of the acoustic performance or the Band gig.

Mr 'I'm bored!, so Bored!', technically it's 'arse-hole'. But I'll let that one slip.

P.S: This is a PG Rated blog. I'd prefer if you said a 'perforation in the gluteus maximus' instead of 'Asshole'.
