Though I was called the Love Guru; I didn't get to play cupid for any of friends or something. I played this part in my company skit. Its been a week of doing outrageous stuff and if you know me; you would realize thats just the right dose for me to keep going.
It started off very innocuously- small brain storming session to arrive at an idea of a skit for propagating six sigma. How it so transpired that I be the central character is thanks to this habit- yes, of writing... I wrote the part and fantastically enough, got to play the part since I probably wrote it.
What followed was something I had never expected. We actually worked harder than mad to set this 7 minute skit up and etched out roles and dialogs for all and labored on just the right looks and tones and movement. Wow- we almost conducted a self-monitored acting workshop. Soma was awesome in her thoughts and Dhiraj helped us with the music a lot... Rashmi is a bundle of energy. I secretly feel she is on some drug called "LIFE". Samitha and Henry were hustled into agreeing and Shivani became a great partner en route. Boman displayed some awe-inspiring confidence and it triggered some in me. Sheela like always got it all together and it was fab.
Monday was the D day and we gave a kickass performance. But the real fun day was Sunday. I spent more hrs at office that day doing actual work. It was exhilarating the way ideas flew around and improvisations were woven in. By Monday we however didnt even have a decent practice with all of us on stage at same time... Still the final performance was liked by one and all... We were told that we did get a chance to perform on Wednesday to display our talents....We were overjoyed; almost delirious and we vowed that we shall wow everyone....
That was not to be....
Wednesday came with lots of butterflies and aspirations. We knew we were good and we had made it better with better costumes and newer ideas. Just wanted to execute it as awesomely as we could. We knew the time lines and evrything was set. Thats when the huge crushing bomb fell. Mid-way through the total of 5 skits; the senseless dimwit disguised as the organiser of the event got up and announced the results. We were devastated. The whole thing was a sham and we were almost in tears. However., thanks to the great bunch that were me TEAM we put on a show that would most definitely be worthy of highest acclaim. Even after knowing the bitter reality of the results, we all went on stage. It was one of the most defining acts of bravery I have witnessed and I most definitely am proud of these bunch of friends I have made. We proved we would never lose heart no matter how bad things shall get.
To U my friends, MUAHHHHHHHHHHH. U were all awesome.
