SARGAM WIN!

Me: Hrishi come here...(i handed him the sargam fest registration slip).

Hrishi: ui!!! too good da..! Wait i'll show it to amogh!

Amogh: Aithu maga...hogana bidu!

This little chat was enough to boost the confidence in me. I thought this was a great opportunity for us to show what we really are. Some people had commented that we don't have that potential of winning, we lack originality, etc. This had frustrated me a lot and New Horizon College was a place where we could prove them wrong.

We reached New Horizon College around 10.45am and as I entered the college was thrilled to see so many mad-ads team. This college is around 25km away from our BNMIT campus and never thought we would have such a tough competation. More than 15 teams had come to participate THE SLANG GANG, DICHKY BOYS, SLUMSKRUTHI, NUTCRACKERS, etc., and we were the last team to arrive..that's SYNTAX ERROR!

With the help of some guy (Amogh's friend) we finally found a place to practice and it did go well.

When we went near the stage already 9 teams had performed and when I checked ours, we had got the last slot which was 13th!

Me: hey rakesh, I think this is not our day man.

Alok: That's ok. Lets just enjoy on stage and have fun.

Rakesh: ya! Alok's right!

Crowd was already saturated of seeing all those boring performances and finally there was a call "Next team on stage is SYNTAX ERROR...please give them a big round of applause". We had lost all hopes of winning and that to this time we were dabbling with a new script. "How will the audience respond. What if they boo us?? What if I make any flaw." all these were boggling in my mind.

After 8minutes, is this a dream?? Audience in the first row were bowing us. I could see more than 200 hands in air applauding us. The crowd response was awesome. As we descended the stage so many people came to us congratulating and were so affable. Now we were sure of winning and didn't care if it was 1st or 2nd. The winning was most important for us coz this was our first performance in 2nd year.

Rain was drizzling and we were waiting for results and finally we heard

"Runner-up for today's mad-ads event is SYNTAX ERROR from BNMIT" wow...we won!!! We were at cloud 9! With the hopes we had come was finally fulfilled.

What?? Am I dreaming! I got the best Narrator award for the evening. Finally I did justice to my work and I was an Exemplary orator for the event.

Now we are on our way to PRATIBIMB 2008 our very own BNMIT college fest being organised for the first time. Watch out we may have good news by next week. :)
