d'zine '08 is totally chhaya hua this week! we r having a rockin time!!!! the fundoo ideas coming up, the over nites, the setting up, and and and the T shirt!!! yes, finally VCICians will have a t-shirt to flaunt their team spirit! the no. has gone to 25 as of now. we've restricted it to DA students only.
it all started with a discussion with 3rd yr students n kunal sir. so me, mohi and shruti were in..and so followed the others n the first yrs! great! but since no one came up with a design but me, i was appreciated..i have been wanting a VCIC t shirt since Cresendo'08. now finally its happening. all loved my design and gave a green signal..so we visited mr.bharat 2day, who happens to be omkar's(fyda) mama. n hence he agreed to give the tees by 2moro!! the cost it 150 per head which i have been collecting from the ones who want the tees. i believe, 26th morning wiil be a morning of all students wearing the VCIC tee. i wud be the happiest person then!
ofcourse there were downs. the guys who did the wall painting hated that everyone chose the graphic design print over the one with their wall painting pic. so i had to bare their disgusting expressions on seeing the new edited design n i sweared i wudn't want to see those 'we r the kings' kinda looks again. gosh! they r literally floating since the completion of the wall painting. (its a different issue that no one really liked it apart from them!, its not bad, but it cud have been better, it was like ,done in haste!)
but the ups are too fantastic! theres a whole gang of us- kejal, komal, kripa, rahul,sandeep from 3rd yr, me, mohi, shruti, isaac from 2nd yr and omkar, ishant, ratnesh,neha, tenzin, suhas...from 1st year. and with all the profs with us we r trying to make the best of life at VCIC!
wooohoooo.....m waiting to see the printed t shirts! this year, VCIC has progressed a lot, i mean, we have a new name, a painted wall, annual art exhibition in public, our own tees...
whats the point in studying at an already established institute, i'd rather say, try out new ventures! coz they r a baby and so r u, so u can grow together and form a pacca bond! and the fun u have is much more, coz u r learning things together and making them happen!

never back out
We had our group dance auditions 2day at 1 pm. All of us were in college in time. Just 10 mins left for the audition and we cant find Bharti! We searched for her and left msgs...and finally she turns up with a sweet smile. We say 'so, r u ready? lets do this..' She smiles and says, 'actually, i got selected for the 'may queen' contest and that programme is scheduled on 3rd of may. so i will be there for all days from now, they will give me a make over and tone my body in 10 days...., i cant do the dance! i dont have time!'
**$%^&**!!!!!!!!!!!!! we were too mad at her! before we cud react, she said 'ok. so can i leave now?' we say ' sure, bye!!!' F**** !! our dance was almost half done and she had to back off!! waise bhi we dint have much choice for the 5th dancer, we tried teaching surbhi but she was pathetic! We gave the auditions without a 5th dancer! rakhi mam liked the idea and also said it wud be a different performance than the usual bollywood stuff. and we also get to begin the show, coz our theme includes lights. yieppeee!!
one bad news and one good news about the same event, same day!
we bugged our brains over who cud replace bharti but all in vain. it is too late to train anyone. our show is on the 2nd of may. we were too determined not to give up on the dance. finally, we concluded, if we had to keep the show running, it was the 4 of us, thats it! and we'll make it worth a watch!
well bharti, m glad u got it the contest, great for u! hope u do well and make the best of this opportunity. no hard feelings.

the sleepover
After listening to Mandar's bhashan 2day in coll, the usual 'aap kuch karte nahi ho...', we decided to put up some display of self created products for the brands we'd campainged for. It was done- we wud meet at my place in the nite. Mohini, shruti, pranju and sumit were here by 9. We started conceptualising the display. Mohini thot of making a mall and having showrooms of all the brands..we liked it, but then it wud have looked more like an Interior Design project. So i came up with a fantasy mall idea. where there are no side walls only bases, like a stand. we cud design it in any form. Everyone agreed, but sumit and i had another blowing argument.. i said the bases should be same shape repeated at periodic heights so it luks like one unit, but he said it wud luk stupid. Fine! so what do u say? and it went on...
it was 10.30 now. I was bored coz we hadnt decided on anything net. me and shruti wanted to have ice-cream! but the others were too lazy to go out..so we both set out to get ice-cream for everyone. when we were back, we got to know, they hadnt decided on anything as yet.
duh! we ate chips, ice-cream and then no one was willing to do the model. so we watched Mtv Roadies 5.0! terrific show!! it was 1 by the time the show ended.
we turned off the lights and off to sleep! but mohini hote huye koi kaise so sakta hai. we were up again to play spin the bottle!! Spinning the bottle was fine, but when it came to questioning, all wud be muted! i guess the 'shruti is here' factor kept everyone silent unlike all the times that we throw questions at each other! since shes not really into us, we only talked about college...which was like a punishment. shes fine, just that she hasnt been at our sleepovers, we never open up and we rnt very comfortable with her. we stopped the game and went to sleep. yeah, that lukd like a better option.
I woke up at 6.30 and saw sumit packing his bag. i waved to him and i went back to sleep. hes always the first person to leave after sleepovers.
the sleeping beauties were woken up by the door bell at 9. it was my cousin mama! he left soon and by that time mohini, shruti and pranju went n slept inside my room like coiled caterpillars coz there was hardly any space! (we were in the living room thruout the nite) i too joined them. man, how did we fit in? anyways, we were too sleepy to bother whos sleeping on whom and how!

Opposites
I was in college by 11. sumit had asked me to come earlier coz he wanted to show me sm layouts and wanted my corrections. But when i reached college, he had nothing to show except his sulking face! Was he crying? or just too frustrated about the college?? he had decided not to do the newspaper... great! atlast, he'd realised the meaning of team work and also that he is not made for it. this guy is too much! i mean how far can u go by urself?! u need supplements, u need support, team spirit, willingness... man, have u been dreaming or what! knock knock..better open up those doors to see a wonderful college life in front of u... if u dont hangout or chat or party or do any kinda group activities..and only take ur work and urself seriously, thats not a college life, infact thats not a life at all. i have never seen him laugh with a bunch of frnz, acually i have never seen him with anyone....i hardly remember us having a light peppy talk. its always about 'discussing' smthin. anyways, who am i to decide for him?! but i hope he gets a lil social.
i dint wanna sit with him and get those sulky vibes, so me n isaac went to the canteen. the mumbaiya was so hungry that he finished 2 plates of 'poha' and a sandwitch! and there enters mr. jyoti. yes, the same guy who tries to act smart all the time. he walks to our table and orders '2 chai'. as he n isaac sip the chai having a 'not so important' conversation, i get to know that m being called "isaac's suzi' by everyone! WTF!! all i say is 'bas, itna hi baki reh gaya tha!' and we flirted our way out of the canteen. but mr. mumbaiya had to do yet another 'bindhas giri' by hugging me in front of aishwarya, jyoti and some other students from mass com, and he goes 'chalta hai yaar' and i pat his back really hard! i do agree, we flirt a lot in college, but hey, we r d best of buddies..infact he goes around treating me like a kid sister..like we wud be sitting somewhere and we wud go 'hey, check out that guy, i think hes cute for u!' or he wud buy me a snickers candy bar like 2day or just be there for me when i need a change from the college nonsense. yeah, thats one thing we naturally tend to do for each other, that is being together if we wanna stay away from the college stuff for a while. and we always have a good time!
one thing i realised 2day, knowing two totally different kinda ppl, and being equally close to both, is wierd!! but m cool with that. but m always in a fix coz those different types of ppl may not be liking each other and in the course also stop liking me! knowing ppl and dealing with each one on a respective level is challenging.

going good
the contemporary dance is turning out to be real fun! we r done with half the song i.e. 2:17 mins. and we r quite confident that it wud be selected amongst 40 other entries! we do need to work on the co-ordinaton tho..and our group is so enthu abt the dance that we also thot of doing another number if we finish this one by sunday!
tejasi is gonna sing too. she is searching for a guitarist to accompany her..and miss mohini and shruti had to open their big mouth, so i might have to give that a try too. the song she is plannin to sing is 'gunji si hai sari fiza' by sadhna sargam. its a sweet song. i need to get the chords rt. havent touched the guitar for a long time. n i dont wanna ruin her singing! if i cant manage it, i will probably have to blackmail isaac to do the chords.. that cool guitar playing idiot, itna bhav khata hai! after convincing me to dance with him, now hes gone into a low profile= we r not dancing! (good actually, we wud have looked funny together esp in the retro costumes)

Busy junction
Its like a hundred way traffic junction. All the signals are green. Vehicles are losing track, they are dashing and scrubbing against each other. Everyone is struggling to get through. But what about the junction..? It wasn’t originally made to face this jam! It was just an intersection of roads whose traffic was to be scheduled.
But this time had to come. The signals had to go green, all at once. Something went wrong..Or the signals took over time? Or was it just fate?
But there are more junctions ahead. With a thousand way traffic. How do they function? Do all the signals ever go green there too? That wud be worse than the first junction. But no, this junction knows that some vehicles shud be given a red signal for some time. Or just a ‘no entry’ sign?!
Things don’t work out unless they are scheduled. But are schedules to abide by!? Isn’t there anything called instinct? Cant there be last minute sign ups or 11th hour rushes or sudden change of opinions? Yes, there are, but not everything can be judged on the basis of instinct. Decisions have to be made at times. no matter how bitter they r 2day, theres always a hope of a better 2moro. Unwanted past never buries itself, it has to be buried, and its possible only with the help of time.
....my body is tired, eyes are strained, fingers laze to type, but my mind is running, fast and unstoppable! Its travelling long spans of time and distance in not more than just a spur of a moment. Its boiling, its falling out, its almost about to lose direction and let go…but I WILL survive, coz I believe in life, n this is what its all about. And I will survive thru more junctions to come..

hi crazy! how u doin?
the day started late by bunking 1st lecture in college. Worked on sm sketches and went to college by 1. The wall painting is done now..n it looks amazing.
Dance practice was going good. Isaac turned up at 3.30 and we had to go take prints of our asgnt. We borrowed shruti's bike, coz i hadnt got mine. The nearest printing shop was at satara rd. As we asked for colour prints, the sweet lady says, "Oh, the colour printer isnt working since 3pm!" Wow! Then we had no other choice but ABC. As we reached abinav chowk, i remembered seeing a 'graphics and printing' shop near by and thankfully i was right.
the sun was unbearable and i was biking coz isaac "was not wearing layers of protection" as he calls my scarf and helmet. anyways, we got the prints and started our way back. I took the bike out of the lane and boom... there was a huge bullock cart coming in from the left and isaac screamed for life! i succeeded in avoiding it and soon realised it was a 'one way' and i was the subject of many a 'galis' from ppl around! but i safely u-turned the bike. then we halted at a sugarcane juice stall coz we both thot i was 'dehydrated'! yeah , i have been living on fruits and water as decided. but the dance practice and the sun had taken it all out. we reached college as fit as we had left. well, not me..coz i was all drowsy...to the point that while climbing up the stairs i just said, 'isaac, i cant climb. plz lift me up!' thats like a near-to-death thing to do, lifting me up.
I was home by 6. had 3 oranges! then rested for some time. at around 9.30 pm mum says we've to go take measurements of our new place. great! so now the drowsy girl is given the car keys!
biking to driving ..hm yes, i was pathetic 2day!
And of all times, isaac msgd " hi crazy, how u doing?" to which i replied, "promoted to dizzy''
