And hence, another Saarang ends, 3rd for me...
The 1st one led me to believe that Saarang was overhyped, made to look more glamorous than it really is... The 2nd one strengthened the belief and I wasn't looking forward to this one...
Things turned out to be different though... For numerous reasons, this has been my best Saarang. To begin with, their was never any dearth of coupons, just like the past 3 fests. I attended workshops. Participated in Antakshari, Stood 4th in queen of Sheeba, hoping to win it next year though. Not to forget the dish we made, well not me technically, which the judge tasted and said, "what the hell did I do to deserve this?"
My post in Saarang required me to attend all the pro-shows, and sometimes, maintain order. It also gave me a chance to show-off, roaming around in OAT with a coord-badge hanging from my jeans pocket, and a walky-talky in my hand, which got a few jealous and used to become a toy as soon as the shows ended. Finally got into a heated argument on the last day, thank god for that.
The food served at Saarang village was good, better than any of the other stalls. I liked the kulfi in particular, and mannn, the joy of having a pan in Chennai.
Good Bye Saarang... Hope you come up with even better stuff next time

New Year
Another happy new year... another excuse to party all night...
Well I wasnt in the mood and so I didn't...A friend calls up to wish me a happy new year, n ask how I celebrated... I said I did nothing, wasn't in the mood... He was shocked, speechless... "you did not celebrate new year?"... Yes, I said... I guess he still can't get to terms with it, although he's known me for like 5 years now....
I have never really understood the concept of new year the way people take it. People who are dying to obtain a foot's space at a happening place on the new year's eve, and see no point in celebrating a week later with reasonable space for the whole body... 07 becomes 08... what else... nothing changes, really. If at all there were to be a meaningful new year, I think it should be the 1st of April, financial new year. That, I believe is the only time when the last year is summarised. Of course, it's a new year for students too as they move to the next yr, well, most of them. The irony being that day celebrated as the fool's day. Life is funny...
Perhaps I'm not as detached from all this setup because I did try and explore some options. It did not work out because of the prices everywhere, which I'd pay only if I were desperate, and the assumption that every place would be flooding with people. I thought I could easily postpone the party, making it cheaper and less crowded.
Anyway, I hope this year turns out to be better than last year for you
Happy new year...
