Ole Folks

How is life?

How were the weekends...

Well  just back from The National seminar held at the Constitution Club at new Delhi this Saturday( 20-3-10) a grand event which every Niscortian was anticipating...

The Theme just to give in some details was the Regional Resurgence and Media Responses ...

Will be a writing a chronicled report on it soon..do go through it all...

Well picked some amusing observations from the event, was forced to jot it down...Here goes...

I had not slept for quite a good number of weeks and was feeling drowsy at the event ..OK, let me shake off my slumber and not bore you all with my narration of these sicknesses...!

Did know that i will get bored at the event but that feeling shook up after an explosive speech by Mr. Amit SenGupta , a no-nonsense Journalist who had started his reporting career at 19 years of age covering the Anti-Sikh riots at Delhi after the assassination of Indira Gandhi . 

Well in the morning was flipping through the pages of George Orwell's classic satire, " Animal Farm. " I am not intellectualising but felt an urge to equate the events at the beginning of the Seminar running on the lines on Orwell's  genius work.

My legs are too small for the author's boots...!

The students, boys especially were looking their grand best with formal executive shirts and trousers...with our institute being a home to people from all across the country, some of the girls belonging to the North Eastern region were in their traditional attires...

The night before the seminar there was quite a hullabaloo in the boys hostel with some of the boys ironing their best shirts and trousers and some going as far as buying new shoes, accessories as well as shirts...

I too was swayed by the event with earning a slightly better physique compared to my earlier avatar went for the brand i am addicted to Levis Strauss Signature ( a Green Polo Neck T-shirt) and accesorised myself with a new converse shoes ( which must say got for a good deal in the mall nearby our institute)

I walk a lot and my unputdownable KILLER canvases were worn out!!

The Girls were in loud makeup...with no disrespect meant to their styling ways, appeared to be living advertisements of cosmetic brands !!

Sumedha Mishra Madam, faculty of MABJ in our institute ( Master of Broadcast Journalism)   group and my teacher in the 1st and second semester looked grand in a bottle green Saree, thanks to her Kashmiri descent...

Well it gave an impression that the boys seemed to be faking their busy attitude at the run up to the seminar !

They were everywhere around the place and why not for its a big day as  far as NISCORT is concerned ...They were frantically running up and down the lobby with  some holding group discussions at the pretty three chair tables at the lobby itself.

The management staff seemed to give an air of impression that they were rejoicing at the glory of the work done !  The Dean seemed to be smiling and walking briskly while brushing everybody aside in the process!

The nearest case would be ... as said in Media parlance, Infotainment...this event didn't bracket itself only as a forum meant for " Grey cell " rejuvenation but also provided one the giggles in this way! 

The ghosts of the event didn't die even when the event was over with students in the responsibility of the food, transport and finance handling at the event taking turns to explain the finance nuances and other formalities much to the harassment of students who sprung up the question or the curiosity to know about the details, for instance booking of the hall for the event so on and so forth...( i was also given the honour of being in the same department!!)

Some students started intellectualising in the bus what insights they were provided with at the seminar, well for me was lucky to grab a copy of Mr. Amit Sengupta's work " Colour of Gratitude is Green " and had it autographed by the great man himself...

The positives from the seminar was that it will carry on Niscort in good stead and give it improvisation, focus and exposure to keep its chips burning 

So long folks

Life is a playground for exploration, discovery, creativity, openness of ideas, constructivity et al...

Be happy and let others also do the same...!

God Be with you all

Cheers !
