The Convocation Day

Well... So Friday was the submission day and Sunday was Convo... the day i was lookin so fwd to. Me and Banda had really worked hard for this day to happen nicely and smoothly, and v were always thinking on wht to keep and wht not to keep. How can i forget the way banda convinced people to attend the party, most of them had just no idea of wht v were plannin, most dint wanted to come coz v r organizing.. but finally it feels happy that 105 out of 130 people paid to come to the party...

Friday came with a relief of Project Submission and was followed by the Farewell ceremony. So finally Saturday was all v had to make the necessary arrangement for the Convo. It was hard for Banda to work under those conditions but he had to do it and i had to convince him to do it thou i felt bad abt it. But v did it, arranged Gowns, Karoke Music ,Xeroxes for songs and coupons, Liquor in just some hours of time and the Slideshow.... i dont understand but y do i work (better) only under extreme pressure

So the Day came.. could see everybody in the hostel goin to the Dhobiwala for ironing their clothes and the search for good lookin Shoes (people even asked me for my shoes... how dumb.. but it happens with excitement). Ya so here came KT and Maddy with their cars and all the goods were loaded in them. We reached the venue (Days Inn, Vashi) "ekdam tension free", thou banda was (a lil) tensed. Due to some time delays the arrangement of things and entry of guest started simultaneously, but who cares. Everyone started helping each other in the arrangement and within the span of some 30 min we were ready with our set up. By this time the juniors had started the Gown distribution, Video recording and photo shooting. Well, finally i started the funsction and the funky Certi's were distributed to each and everyone. People were in a mixed mood of fun and senti.

Well, i had worked the entire night on preparing a slideshow with as many photos of the 4 yrs of UD, covering as many people, as as possible. But when i reached there at the hotel, I was shocked to see that the Lappy I had arrannged dint had powerpoint presentation. It was really great on Rathi's part that he arranged another Laptop and yes we had that presentation. I could see all wet eyes after the presentation. It was a beautiful moment, everyone from the naughtiest to the topper of the class, all realized wht they have been thru and wht they will miss ( as Atri describes it.. it gave him the BEST and WORST feeling at the same time). Everyone classped, evryone had their eyes wet and wth this feeling we all sung 2 songs "yaroon" and "Pal", with karoke and lead singers...

this was followed by the First screening of the First Promo of Our First movie (which we.. george (director), JD , Rathi, Prathamesh (actors) and me (cameraman) are working on.. people could not believe it and everybody .. i repeat everybody clapped on seeing it. George could not control his emotions and he cried seeing his dream getting real and the support he is getting from his classmates. yes we all were happy for it

There were some awards given to people (i got the "most pakao person".. he he). this was followed by photo session and returning of gowns. Shet gave a beautiful speech for Vikram that made everyone in a totally diff mood. However, The DJ put his music and juniors made the drinks (so almost everybody started with the Tequila Shot)..

music, dance and drinks.. thts all u could see. I saw some ppl getin high and Atri was one of them. He was so high tht i took him outside and both of us got Senti. so he puked .. so did the others and thts how the night went away in a stroke.. it was shock to see so many ppl of my class drinkin.. and the best part were their dialogues after drinkin...

really..... the day was just amazing and i think i will always remember this as "one of the best days of my life"
