Unmaad

Unmaad is the IIM Bangalore cultural fest. Happens once a year and this year it was arguably the biggest in India. Its been happening over the last weekend. Started Friday morning and ended at around 5:00 on Monday morning. Kept me totally busy from start to finish. There were events all day, concerts every evening and parties every night from midnight to six AM.

I tried getting our juniors to come from ISI for the fest. Chand and Suranjan said they would but, as expected, neither turned up. There we're however a lot of other people there who were VERY interesting.

One thing I figured out is that people can be VERY dumb a lot of the time. Just listen to this. I'm talking to this one girl (really cute btw) and at the same time this other guy is trying to .... hit on her?? Here's what happened.

(In attempt to generally be like a host I try to include everyone in the conversation)
(this is all happening at around 4 AM on sunday morning)

Me : So what are you guys doing?

Really cute girl : I'm doing my final year in Mount Carmels

Dumb chap : I'm in my second year in St. Josephs
(he now realizes that this would make him younger than the girl so...)

Dumb chap : But it's not like that....I actually dropped a year. So while I'm academically younger than you, I'm not actually younger than you.
(he now realizes that this would kinda make him a dumb chap so...)

Dumb chap : You know I didn't fail a year or anything....
(at this point I start sniggering and I'm fairly certain she did too)

And this is just a random example. All weekend long people have been coming up to me and saying the most inane things. One girl even tried to kill me ( minor exaggeration : assault would have been more appropriate ) because she lost the dance competition and we didn't give her a participation certificate. Seriously.....what the hell is she going to do with a certificate claiming she participated in a competition thats free for ANYONE to participate. Hell....Mayank could have taken part in that competition and we all know how he dances. ( note : really cute girl won the dance competition )

I haven't slept in ages. Managed two hrs of sleep on friday and saturday nights. Zero on sunday. I went to class at 8:30 AM monday morning...Slept there so obviously that even I was ashamed. Apparently I had my knees up on the table, my head was tilted back and I was snoring. Some of my friends even say I was drooling but I'm going to pretend that didn't happen.

Thats about it from Bangalore....If you want to know about the other side of Bangalore call the Pamily and pind out. Of course, Bohemians is always there...

P.S : Oddly enough the name of the girl I mentioned is Natasha, just like my old laptop. I've also decided that my Apple is also a Natasha, it's a nice name...

P.P.S : Where is everyone....Only few people are posting. Monkey I'm sure doesn't know how to type yet but what about the rest?
