TNite, RJM 1
The T-Nites are long over, but the excitement is as fresh !! And today we all got reminded of it again....Why ? I will come back to that later.....But first lemme continue from where I left !!! Yeah, the second half of the T-Nites
After the dismal performance on day 2, we were all charged up, thanks to the tuchchas also, to go out there and give a scintillating performance on the RJM nights. OK, our auditorium here is called the RJM is short and since the second half of the T-Nites takes place at the auditorium, its called the RJM nights.
Our classes got over on saturday afternoon and we knew we had very little time on our hands to get our act together for the first of the RJM nights that same night. We all quickly had our lunch and got back to the class to start off a marathon preperation session. Oh man ! One should have seent eh enthu and commitment. We were all working frantically with one single aim.....to rock RJM 1. A main hurdle was to decide upon a theme. It was critical that we have a theme for the night coz thats where we had lost points in the past 2 evenings. After much brainstorming, suddenly someone came up with an idea of 7 !!! Seven ?? What the heck is that.....was the initial reaction. But slowly it started making sense.....our class was CR 7...our fashion show had a theme of seven emotions/qualities/styles......our dances came from the seven seas.....and our music spanned seven continents !! yeah, not a bad idea.....And so it was decided....7 is the theme for the night. And voila !!! The poster team immediately got going and started work on a real real huge banner for the stage. What a fundoo modern design it was depicting 7....I tell u, these girls in our class are damn talented !!
The rest split into their own teams and started practicing....Before we knew it was time to go to RJM......The dress code was black for everyone. So there we were in a group moving towards the RJM.....a huge black group shouting slogans, a bit nervous thoug. Nervous coz the practice was not cmprehensive due to paucity of time....We were not sure if we would be able to pull it off well.
One good thing we did this time was that we had planned our entry and exit well coz there were points for that also. When we all enetered, a song started playing in the background..."Zindagi mil ke bitaayenge" from satte pe satta...Boy, the strategy was bang on target, it worked like magic with the crowd coz none of the sections had enetered on a song......which was also related to the theme. We all got on stage and spread oursleves out coz its a huge stage and we needed to cover the entire stage. Just imagine, nearly 60-70 guys on stage cheering, waving, dancing !!!
The show started with a yanni rendition by our ace pianist....Man...this guy is a genious when he plays the piano.....it was a perfect start and the audience couldnt help but bowing to his magic. Performances came one after the other, all brilliant i must say....Not just coz it was my section....genuinely it was a class show that we put up....The music band was great.....The dances were our strength with some fantastic dancers in our class.....One dance was performed by a guy and a girl on the song "oh humdum suniyo re"....the guy danced western and the girl classical.....It was beautiful indeed...And the last item was a solo western dance act by another girl.....One of the most brilliant acts I have ever seen.....The crowd got up from their seats and everyone bowed to her....
All the time someone was performing on stage, the rest were all behind on stage cheering, dancing along wioth the performer. When the final act got over, we were signalled we barely have a minute to get out of the auditorium....Oh boy....we collected all props as quickly as we could and ran like crazy to get out of the auditorium so that we dont exceed our time limit, which would in turn extract a penalty.
We all came out, took a breather and shouting and cheered at the top of our lungs....Coz we knew we had done an awesome job.....We could hear the audience screaming "Awesome Awesome" when we were performing......And this was ratified when our section seniors came out and told us that ours was by far the best performance of the night....They said we have surpassed all expectations and were clearly much better than the rest....What jubiliations....we knew we were back with a bang !!
BUT..................the fashion show was yet to be done.....When all sections had finished their performnaces, then the fashio parade for each section was to start....We had nearly a couple of hours to get ourselves ready for it. We came back to the class and started practicing.....And it was then I came to now that I was also there in the fash P. Ha ha ha....i somehow managed the attire ....got some practice abt what I was supposed to do.....the seniors and the class girls did the make up for all of us....And voila we were all ready....
The fash P was based on the theme of 7 and displayed 7 emotions/styles ( like lust, greed, envy etc.) What a thoroughly professional performance.....Had u seen the fash P, u would have thought these guys r professionals practicing since weeks......It came out perfect, stylish, sauve, elegant......this class never ceases to surprise me with its talent and energy..
We came back to the class and knew we had aced the fash P as well......the seniors again told us this was the best fash P amongst all the sections.........
Within an hour the results for the day and the cumulative results so far of all the 3 nights were put up on our internal communication client......
Our class, Section A, were the top performers of the day by a huge margin. .....We were top in every category...entry, exit, events, music, dance, theme, enthu...everyhing. We were also the top in fash P, again by a big margin....
And since the weightage of RJM1 and RJM 2 is mucg greater than the mess nights, the cumulative standings said : "SECTION A at the top rank by a comfortable margin"..
Woowwwwwwwwwww......Our enthu knew no bounds.......We shouted till our throats started acihng......We had come back with a big bang...We knew we had the talent for the RJM nights and it was proved right...
The seniors treated us with a pizza treat.....Imagine treating 70 people with pizzas....But then this is IIMA and everything is so special here.....The pizzas came in the class and we all relished them while simultanouesly working for the next day...
One final hurdle to go....We knew we cant afford to relax.....Every section will raise their performnace on the last night and we cant be complacent.....We had loads of stuff to do...Decide another theme, another banner, get our class act going ( will explain later what this is) .....lots of stuff to worry abt...
But the tempo was high...Coz we were at the top.....We decided to pack for the day and come back the next day early to startf off the final leg of preps with a renewed josh....
What happened to Sectino A on the final night ? Did we win the trophy ? Or did we slip up ? How much masti we did on the final night ?
Stay tuned......Willl be back tomorrow !!!
