The name ‘Shakespeare’ definitely rings a bell in the head. The ‘god’ of English drama, he has major contribution in making dramatics as glorious as it is.
Presently, it is a major event in any cultural fest. No different is ours. The responsibility of organizing EXPRESSIONS-our dramatics event, was entrusted to the three of us(may be coz we are biggest “nautankis” of our batch!!!).
As any normal team even we distributed various tasks among ourselves like participation, budget, managing our play etc. But, being true IITians(waiting for the 11th hour) in the end all three of us had to chip in our bit in everything to keep things going. We started off with participation calling our old school friends in different colleges for participation(it was nice talking to school pals after 3 yrs, and hope we now continue to be in contact)
Then we three concentrated on the budget. Being considered good at math (remember we are JEE cleared!!!!!!) that shouldn’t have been a problem. Ya adding up numbers was never a problem, problem was what all to include!! But, being ‘jugadoo’ and having the true roadie spirit we successfully accomplished that task!!
Between all the organizing stuff and urging others to participate, one day a junior, good at acting, asked, whether we will take him in our play. Then it occurred
Oh Gosh!!... even we have to participate in our cultural fest…!!!!!!!!!
Finally, after much brainstorming and arguments the strongest…. I mean, the best amongst us won. This is how script for our play has been finalized!!
Acting is not a big problem with students when in real life - you have short attendance- you act to make your professor believe that you were sick or something, you haven’t submitted the tutorial sheet- you will act, you are late for the class- you will act. But this is till you know that no body will rate your performance. Professor knows the truth but he will have to allow you to save his time and others as well (who don’t mind time being wasted).
As soon as it comes to performing on stage, students put up a great performance just to convince you that they can’t act. Their reasons are stage fear or here, in our case, reluctance to get up from their beds and give auditions!!!!!!!!!
In auditions we were introduced to hidden talents of our campus. We actually have a wide variety ranging from “gabbar” and “mogambo” to “jai-veeru” and”basanti”!!
As the things were going smoothly here comes the speed-breaker!! Our MID TERM EXAMS.
But, right now this is a very feeble excuse to dampen our spirits. The only thought right now is “ to hell with mid terms” and “ hail RAVE!!!”
