Good Morning
was the name of the
PAF that hostels 4, 7, and 12 presented this year. For a change, H7 managed to present a PAF that was "putch"less, and with amazing execution. The position that we got - 4th. For some reason, this year's PAFs were far below the regular standards, and they were a huge disappointment, after last year's top 2 PAFs. But then, even after a "disaster" of a PAF, I didn't feel sad, mainly because, I was happy with the experimental script that we had :)
Other than that, I met the Dean yesterday and today regarding the film soc. No progress :| Damn! Dean said to come and meet him on Monday. Let's see. Its valfi time again :) Hostel 8 today. Next 12 days will be good :)

Summer Plans?
Even though this blog has minimum readers, I still post this here.. incase that I get some company :D
Hello!
Well, I have had this plan for quite some time in my head - backpack touring north India from Amritsar to Nainital over a span of 30 odd days, spending meagerly on accomodation and travel, and covering as much as possible on a shoe string budget (my upper end approximation is Rs. 10k) with the trip being a feast for the eye, camera and the diary alike.
The "itinerary" that I have planned as of now is somewhat as follows
delhi-amritsar train amritsar-wagah - 2 daysamritsar-dharamsala-dalhousie-3 daysdalhousie-jammu-srinagar 3 days srinagar-sonmarg-amarnath-dras-kargil-leh-ladhak 7 daysladhak-manali -3 days manali-simla - 3 dayssimla-dehradun-haridwar-gangotri-nainital 8 days to decide: nainital-kathmandu-gangtok-bhutan-assam ???Well, since the plans are not concrete, and all the traveling decisions are to be taken right on the spot where we are, plans are open to discussion :) The only "decision" is to start from Amritsar and Wagah, because of my want to see the Wagah border. From there on, local state buses/ general train tickets, cheap hotels, govt. rest houses are the plan of the day, unless you wish to sponsor the goodies :). And we can always include / exclude somethings here and there for a "better" trip :) I have the following things in my head that I want to see - Wagah, Ladhak, Leh, Gangotri. All others are open to discussion :)
Plans to start off on the trip is around May 25th, because the Ladhak area is not open before the 10th of June (or so I am told :) )
If u are interested, please do mail back soon. If u are not, still mail back, and I shall try to convince you :) . Also, If u are interested in a part of the trip, that shall also do, because I may end up moving with loads of different groups across the "huge" trip :) coz I am in desperate need for some good company :)

Dear Liar among others
Dear Liar is a play where the husband-wife duo of
Naseeruddin Shah and
Ratna Pathak-Shah read out letters, that recreate the intriguing relationship of last century English actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell and the famous Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw over the years. Written by
Jerome Kilty and directed by
Satyadev Dubey, this play was screened over the weekend at the Experimental Theater,
NCPA. Ghaza, a senior from H2 did tell us about this some time 3 weeks ago, and Karthik, OD, SRR, Parasvil, and Anjor other than Ghaza and I did manage to get there for the 1st screening of the weekend, yesterday at 6.30 PM. A 2+ hour play, I was enchanted by the acting of the couple, especially Ratna Pathak. Being a fan of Naseeruddin Shah was the reason why I did agree on the trip, but being pleased to see his wife perform and outshine him was what I left the ~300 capacity hall with :) Another thing that I did resolve to do is that go to south Bombay sometime this week, and become a member of NCPA, and for that matter Prithvi too ;)
The play followed the 3 che duals - Karthik, OD and SRR run back to IIT to mug for their endsem today, while the remaining 4 of us moved to MamaMia's to hog some pizzas and pasta :) A train back to Kanjur - the 11.24 Thane local, was what got us home, and then some PAF work followed.
Today seemed to be a lot more hectic - get up at 11, lunch, work on PAF prod design/ backdrops design with srivathsan till 5, sit with ankit for scripting ideas till 6, attend a bloody soap box for the GS Cult candidates, and then go to meet A
2, Doodhi and Anchal where the jobbing junta - A
2 and Doodhi convinced us to drive to the Bandra Mocha, which we didn't enter, and then moved to Bandstand because Doodhi expressed the demand to have something
chatpata and then Anchal the chaah for something cold and meetha. So, chaat followed by sherbat was what we had. Then a long chat/gossip on what's on with whom while we sat near the seaface, and then my need to have a coffee - Barista it had to be :) Some chillad-giri for the bill settlement later, we finally did manage to get on the bikes, and come back to IIT by 12.45. And then some more PAF kaam, and finally time to sleep :) Got classes tomorrow :| Sad life :P
