HR talent parade 2008

It was something i was 'made ' to attend. Imagine you getting a call at your place from the office of your college.Its obviously going to freak you out right ?. And on top of that , the call being attended by your mum makes it even more freaky. The instruction was clear : pay up for the pass or meet
the Principal ( Dr. Mrs. Indushahani - also the Sheriff of Mumbai ) .
So there i was , in a half-empty auditorium , imagining the torture ahead. But i was mistaken.
It all started with some 'delightful' crooning ( I'm being polite here ) though some of which were thouroughly enjoyable and sung with a lot of passion till one guy..who was so outrageous and wanna -be like, sung "paape pyaar karke " . At that moment i really was rethinking my decision to make the most of my 150rs by coming to this show. Suddenly the commute didn't make any sense and the day was ruined. But not for long.
The next round , that of dancing , was quite okay to say the least. The ones that stood out were -
the fusion between old classical and modern western dancing , and the ones with an element of the recently popular street style dancing.
AS they say ' the best is saved for last ' , came the uber cool , outstanding event that literally fetched the college the Malhar trophy ( an event hosted by St. Xaviers college, Mumbai ) .
I usually dont stand up and applaud any dance or item unless i really enjoy it or if I'm made to stand. But i was clappin , cheering , and had my mouth open in awe , thoroughly surprised at the unique concept hitting some young mind. The lights were switched off and the Ultraviolet lights were at play. The concept was basically that of "the son of the mask ' who had to do some tasks , pass some levels . but the was it was done was what left everyone surprised. If you're a fan of ;the mask " - the cartoon or movie series , you would know how he wears the mask that brings out a totally different side to the simple guy. With the effects and a little imagination , the way the persons face turns green ,the passing of levels ( by playing a mario kind of game ) , etc were 'out-of-the-world'.
The fashion show was like the icing on the cake with contestants being asked questions like - whom would u like to bring along with you if you were to be stranded on an island and imagine the crowd reaction when the contestant said " My mom ! " .The crowd went 'awwww..."...
on the whole a very 'fun' event and also a very memorable one.
adios.
