Sem Stories - Our Most Memorable Dance

           Every college, may it be junior college,graduation college or post graduation , every college has a festival.The festival is kind of refreshment for us students and also great platform to show our non-academic talents and learn lot of things.

           In my case, Fusion 11 (my college festival) was special for two main reasons. First it was our people last fusion since it was our last year at PVPP(We are finally Engineers now :D ) .Second thing was , we had a blast at the fusion stage with a funny dance performance.

          Well, it was not a hardcore dance with hip hop moves and all. After third year itself, we had decided that at least once before leaving the college we are going to dance on that stage. All of us. Now my group was little diverse consisting of right from skinny slender guys to fat guys. So we wanted to make a easy but funny and memorable dance. So we took a concept and improvise on it . Then there were lot of practice sessions all in the college classrooms itself. Also it was all secret. College days, we didn’t wanted anyone to copy our performance. The dance also required more people to fill the stage. There was few of us IT guys ready and interested for the dance. So it was all plus few guys and minus few guys for some days. But as I would like to say it, the dance performance was written in our destiny. And our friends from Computer branch join our gang. Needless to say there were quite arguments with the group names since it involve students from IT and Computer branch. Also about which people should dance in the front and others will be at the back. But fortunately, we solved both of the arguments in little time by choosing the best alternatives. Group name was finalized to BE IT-COMPS “GANGSTARS”. Also people with better practice were kept in the front. So the practice sessions started with all fun and rehearsing again and again. There were suggestions from each of the guys about the dance steps. Also a lot of sound mixing and editing to be done and redone again and again. Looking for random empty classrooms, even sometimes quarreling with other dance groups for the class; well it was all college time memorable fun.

          And finally, there was the much awaited fusion night. There were 16 of us, and no one had dance on that stage (descent dance that is ;)) in our last 3 years. But that was a night; we were not competing for the prize. We just wanted to give a memorable performance. And we did. We got lot of claps, praises, compliments from the audience. There were whole bunch of people in front of you clapping and cheering for you, now that really a great and memorable thing. It was group performance and I was and I still am thankful to my buddies for that special night. As expected we didn’t win any prizes. But we had won something bigger than a prize that day. A really awesome memory of our college life which we are going to remember for rest of our lives for sure. Still talking about the fest, people loved our dance so we were invited to dance again on the last day of fusion for orphan kids of CARE Foundation. Well, that was another great moment in our lives.

          So here is the dance video I was talking about. It is the fusion night video (the first and most special one).Enjoy people and do let me know if you like it.

CHAPTER 3 - PRANK ME ,PRANK ME NOT (PART2)

(...continued from part1)

So just gave her brief idea, n she understood it in no time.
and She posted to nikhil
"I didn't expected this from you , what do you think of yourself"
This girl really knows how to kill.
And then Nikhil was back
"WTF !!!!! What did you tell her ?"
"Exactly what you told me to tell her",I replied
"What ? duffer idiot ******* i was kidding "
Now time for little over acting
"What?  really ? Sorry yaar, I thought you were seriously...."
"DUFFER ****** , tell her the truth, or else she will kill me"
"I am not going to tell her anything , she will killl me instead"
"F you"

In the second window, Sonal was posting how he was getting pawned.
"Do you think of me like any girl you can mess up with, try doing that to some other girl,because i am not of that type."
"Sorry, itz all Ayog's fault , he is a duffer."
"Yaa,he is a dumb, You use him to convey your message, really screw you.Let me see you in college."
"Seriously, its not my mistake , I was just kidding, was just a joke."
"Do you think I am joke,find some other girl to play jokes with."

Then Sonal typed
"He is boring me a lot now saying sorry,Now I will write go to hell and then will logged off gud night"
I just laughed, that gonna b a killer for sure.
And she did the same
n then Nikhil
"AYOG *****, you have screwed up everything,she has gone offline now, and she is damn angry,call her now n tell the truth."
"Call her at this time ? she will kill me, anyways, i am feeling sleepy,good night, kal dekhte hai kya karna hai woh.."
"Wait rukh saale, where are you going, i am in deep shit now"
"byee"
"wait..........."
and i logged off.Tonight gonna have a very good sleep.

Next day was a holiday, and i was not surprised to find the prank was still on ,not because of sonal , but thanks to nikhil himself.He changed his facebook status about 4-5 times consisiting of the same words " Why
people always misunderstand me' , 'When I say sorry I really mean it" , "what should I do to prove you that I am really sorry'.Best thing, except three of us, nobody had a clue of it, so people were still pawning him on his updates.Then came monday, when We had to end the prank finally. When I entered the class, Rajiv grabbed and asked,
"What have you done to Nikhil"
"Why?"
"Cmon, he is posting insane status on fb,
"His status updates are always insane" - Abhishek snapped between
" Yes, but yesterday ones were too depressing,plus you have to see him in practicals,his hand were shaking like hell."
Obviously after hearing all this.Sonal said she wanted to end the prank.So finally we told him the truth.Nikhil was showering abuses on me as expected, but agreed to the fact that it was the best prank to play on everyone.After all, he is not gonna play love guru to anyone for sure.

Back at home, gave Sameer the software he wanted.Then was back online
Then came Sonal's post,
"So prankster feeling happy now ?"
"Yaa,had great fun, but anyways Thanks !"
"Why ?"
"For not playing a prank on me instead, you even had the chance to do that."
" Hmm...I was not in mood to prank you today, but beware ,next time, i may not feel the same..hehe'
"Letz see...", I replied smiling.

CHAPTER 3 - PRANK ME ,PRANK ME NOT (PART1)

" Agar kisiki Sacche Dil se vaat lagana chaho toh puri kayanat tumhe madad karne pohoch jaati hai "  - Abhishek

        Another day at college.The sem had just started, so there was not much academic work to do.Also,one more good thing was probably first lecture was off.The classroom seem quiet today.Girls were completing the assignments and boys were goofing around.After all, same assignments we guys will be taking home and going to complete them during free time.That may be while watching cricket match,football match or even boring F1 (in Sumit's case).I quickly grab a bench and just crashed on it.
About 2 hours ago, i was playing Far Cry 2.Really nasty game to play in the morning.In the game, the main protagonist who travels to Africa gets infected by malaria.So as a result, thanks to the advanced realistic graphics, the screen goes blurry and shaky after interval of time.It was seeming cool at first ,but later my head started spinning.
So there am I now, sitting in my class, feeling damn dizzy all cause of those Ubisoft idiots.Then someone tapped on my head and i was not surprised to find Nikhil,
'Hii Ayog buddy,what are you doing ? '
Nothing,just relaxing, i replied just blankly staring at the door
Just then Sonal enter the door into the class.I then look at Nikhil , who was smiling viciously.Bad timing, i thought, now time to get pawned .
"So finally, you don't need to keep your head down now as she has arrived"
"Who ?"
"Your Sweetheart,Sonal."
"Buzz off,go screw some 1 else."
"hehe, not so easy buddy.got a nice thing to troubled you with.I can see you are madly in love with her,i can tell it from your eyes', Nikhil snap back laughing insanely
"Sheessh, stop it junkhead, I am already feeling dizzy."
"Abe itna uske baaremein sochega toh yahi hoga. "
I was too pissed off, then by grace of God, or more specifically Sameer, my cell phone rang.
I was fast enough to grab the opportunity and get away from Nikhil.
Sam needed me to download some stuff.He hardly ever talks of downloading a movie or game or etc etc.
rest of the day was passed doing random timepass stuff, all consisting of quick small sessions from Nikhil,who started to play Love Guru for me, hell, Really a bad day!

Then few hrs later, i was at home, doing the most important thing - uninstalling Far Cry 2.No more dizziness finally.Then was online chatting with Ananya,Archit.Then Sam came online to give the download details.Then felt little sleepy,kk, time to end this tiring dizzy day.Then there was a pop up with Nikhil on the chat window with
"Hii Loverboy:"
God, not again.was feeling sleepy at this hour so just replied
"Sorry yaar,off to sleep now,will talk later byee"
heyy heyy, where are you going ? Your friends are still alive here, or are u going offline because Sonal is not online'
Now at this point of time, i was feeling sleepy,but still not dizzy like morning, so was in better mood to play
So started typing
"Kk, dude that's my girlfriend, why the hell are you interfering in between.I don't like you talking about her all the time, I am really possessive."
"Lolzz, really"
"So stop talking about her,you are talking as if you are the one who loves her."
Now that was the bait, now just was waiting for the fish to catch it, and there he goes
"Ohh, you finally caught me.lolzz Yaa, I really love her . I just can't live without her ..."
and he started posting random smileys
"So why are you telling me this, go tell her"
"Lolzz, right, but the problem is i feel shy to tell her.Plzz can you do it for me, please tell her my feelings'
Hell, here he goes again
Then something finally happen.As Abhishek says " Agar kisiki Sacche Dil se vaat lagana chaho toh puri kayanat tumhe madad karne pohoch jaati hai "
Sonal came online
Now time to play the big game
"Nikhil dude, go tell , now is the chance"
"Naa i am feeling shy, you tell her, guts tere mein"
Now was the my time to be evil.
I smiled open the Sonal's chatbox and typed
"Heyy Sonal , wanna play a game ? '
"Whats the catch ?"
"Subject to pawn is Nikhil ."
And as i expected, came the reply,
"Cool, count me in."

CHAPTER 2 - WILL BE POSTED LATER

CHAPTER 2 going to huge one, so will posting it after chapter 4.
Will update accordingly.Thank you

CHAPTER 1 - RESPAWN (PART 2)

(Continued from part1 )...

Next few days were spend in planning the revival.
First of all decided to take life easy.The worst had already happen so anything that is going to follow will be good enough.
So got of from bed,downloaded some movies and search again desperately for some old low graphics games which could run on my pc and then left for college.
In college,I was not surprised to find Sumit and Vineet already in class well before time.
These two guys, n because of them, I had to attend all boring lectures.
Vineet was as usual glancing through some maths book and I seriously didn't wanted to interrupt him.Every guy and gal i have met till now were fans of some movies,books,movie stars, sportstars n so on,But Vineet only guy i encountered who can go talking whole day about how great maths kumbojkar book is and how deadly kumbojkar + Prof Parasniis is and so on.More crazier were his dreams,always telling me and sumit that he always dreamed of having professors parasnis and welankar as his uncles and on.

About Sumit,he is a quiet guy , to be more specific very very quiet guy.Be it lecture,recess or tech fest, he always talks less.Least bothered by movies,watching girls,gaming and all.Only thing, he atleast talks about openly is about studies and sports-cricket,football,F1 etc(kk, this list is long enough)
To start a topic, I asked Sumit,
Heyy, whats wrong with that nerd girl, gone little less active than in sem1,Got lousy after scoring highest,I guess.
Vineet stopped reading and said
She is not the topper , some other guy top last sem.You don't have any idea about it.
"well, i had plenty of mess of myself to think about lately", I smiled away
Rest of the day was full with crappy lectures.Even one professor gave the term end date,which was just 3 weeks away.And also announcement of mid term exams which were going to be in next week with 70% portion.DEAD !!!
At the end of the day was surprised to find even Vineet frustrated
"This is insane, Definitely not going to work, submissions and f damn everything is pending and when will we get time to study"
"Hmm, everything will get complete , even there are people doing engineering too",Sumit replied
'Ya, but these crappy lectures are pure waste of time',Vineet was still frustrated
As far I was concerned , I was happy to hear such things from Vineet so just joined in,
"Yaa,I agree with Vineet, time wasting crappy lectures.Even i am thinking of studying hard of studying hard this time.'
"Thinking ?"
"Ya,i mean already thought that i going to study really hard"
"Hmm, so better start studying then, IPL is coming ", Sumit said
"IPL ? do you think thats gonna work, after epic failure of ICL ?"
"At this f time, everything else will work for sure",Vineet replied
And next day , Vineet had a new improved college timetable.It was our original timetable plus with pencil marks scribbled throughout.Then he explained it to me and Sumit, how we can bunk most of the lectures without letting our attendance fall below 75%(MU people really try to scare us by 75 % criteria, and they have been successful so far i can say).A crazy plan, but it work off perfectly, giving us enough time for studying and random playtime.
And then , submissions began,which were not a big problem thanks to Vineet and Sumit who used to have everything ready on time.Only one practical exam was there and that too of Java, so was way too easy.Then began the actual exams.This sem we had only five subjects but I had 1 more subject to worry.Well, first 2 weeks were spend in gathering books,IMPs,mid term papers from other colleges.Sumit and Archit were there to help with my extra subject (bonus subject i can say).Also Sameer and Vineet were assisting for the current sem subjects.A lot of distractions were there,with loads of good movies on the way and most importantly IPL-which was a great hit.But all of the things went just fine.Got that subject cleared and scored 70+ in sem2, and things were back to normal pretty soon.
To add to the fun, even got a new gaming pc and was soon gaming like old days.
Starting a new game on my new pc, was playing carefully and slowly, on which my friend said,
"Why scared so much,its just a game,You respawn again if u die"
To which I smiled and winked at him,"RESPAWN right !"

CHAPTER 1 - RESPAWN (PART 1)

"When you are doing engineering in MU, remember anything is possible"

For many people Engineering starts from the first day of college itself.For me, it started in the second sem because I then I understood what engineering is.One hell of a incident taught my that.
That day, the atmosphere in college was very tense.Everyone knew the reason for it.Sitting in the class we all freshers were least interested (err...actually we never are ) to what the professor was mumbling.Then one guy went yelling sometime outside the class and the next moment everyone was just racing ahead to the ground floor.
The whole staircase was crowdy,then after loads of bumping finally reached a place near the Notice board,Heyy the results are out.
SEM1 exams were not pretty good to me though.I was thinking of getting average scores.Anyways,back to the notice board, i knew the result was no good,but was little excited that i will get to result first from my own eyes.Right from first standard, i never got see my results at first.Everyone use to tell my scores before me.Then came the spoiler,a guy (now i barely remember who he was, frankly i am still hunting to kill him), who just graped me from behind and was yelling like lunatic.
'Ayog bro,you got one subject left"
And well he was correct, saw the board and just left home( there was not much left to see now).For I knew , life was never going to be same now.
At home, i received a grand welcome.I was already depressed to listen any more praises.Then went off to swimming.

Just dived under water, felt little better, then some one pull my head up , I was left gasping for breath.
"What happen ?" I asked
And there was Nitish,a 15 yr guy i me during my swimming coaching.
Look at the hot girl, seems new admission, let's go for intro,whats say ?
Naa, not in a mood
Hmm, you are in no mood for girls, are you ok ?
Naa, m fine, just no idea what am wanna do
Just go and woo her
Woo her with what ?
Hmm, nice question, u r in engg coll ri8, just go tell about your marks and how cool ur coll lyf is n all
Ohh great i muttered to myself,
Then nxt week was passed in depression, getting loads of comments from family,friends.Only there was one thing, i can't say that it was a good thing, still,my best buddy Archit was there literally in the same pain.He also had the same subject left.One drawback, we were getting pawned from both of our parents and that too badly. Then one day i had full half hour first time serious talk with my brother, could remember only few words of conversation later,
"Come on bro, you are in Engineering and that too in Mumbai engineering.Anything is possible here.Even dumbest of dumbest people become engineers and even toppers struggle hard in it.I am not saying you are not studying enough but perhaps you are not studying properly.Take help from your friends"

Then There was I , sitting on a bench in class.The classroom seem empty.Just then a voice whispered,
You are not letting this all go so easy right ?
I was just confused " what are you talking about ?
You don't have any other hot topic currently in life, do u ? said the guy laughing
"hmm, ..kk...so what do you want to tell "
"Nothing special.A.....you remembered playing mortal kombat or street fighter
Yup what about that
Well,what used to happen after you lose a round,
Well, the timer use to start asking you whether wanna quit or continue .
Correct, Ayog your life is at the same stage now, time is clicking, you better continue
"kk, Will try definitely
Kkk, tats sounds good
"Anyways, pal my name is Ayog, yours ?
A guy just came from the shadow and i felt standing infront of mirror.
Same pinch , i can say
OMG, I have twin brother
You are a d...
And alarm went off, and i woke up from bed.Really nasty dream, i muttered.
But sipping coffee i thought over the dream,and what my bro said yesterday, definitely time to try out something new.
