Faire-la-Fete

Finally, the day arrived for which we all worked like cats and dogs..

And it canvassed the emotions depicted in lines below..

I never had a slice of bread,
Particularly large and wide,
That did not fall upon the floor,
And always on the buttered side

Somewhere in heavens, some Mr.Edward Murphy was happily having is hot dog when he saw us...
The sadistic part of him conquered the sensible..
The magic wand was waved..
WHHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......

Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong

And by god it did...

The mails bounced..
The faculty ignored..
The funds werent approved..
The collections fell short..

The AC zonked off..
The dance song zonked off..
We repeated...
And as luck would have had it, it conged off at EXACTLY the same point again....

Come the singing event, the microphone went dead..

Come the emcee, the microphone started screeching...

I feel sorry..
For the audience...
More so for the performers..

We all worked so hard..
The sweat..
The pain..
The time..
The effort...
All seemed to go for a toss..
Exactly when it wasnt supposed to..

At this point I remembered by previous blog..
I shat in the pants..
Any moment there would be eggs, tomatoes, curses, boooos and what not...

And I was wrong..
One of the rare moments where I liked being wrong..

It was as if God shoooed away murphy and had pity on us..

The crowd was patient..
The crowd was empathetic..
The crowd was supportive...
The crowd was encouraging...

This is not what we usually see in such cases..

I was already in love with my batch..
The evening made it grew exponentially..
Not only ours, the senior batch also was VERY supportive..

Yaa, there were a few hootings, but those kept up the humor content of the show...

After a hard day's work, everyone gatehred to have a nice time..
We tried and we hope they got atleast some of it..

At the end of the day, EVERYONE came and gave a hug..
As a token of appreciation..
For the efforts..
With a pat on the back and a smile "Make the VDay better"...

Point noted people...
The next one would be way better...
