Every year King Mahabali comes to see how his people are doing and this time we are planning something big to welcome him, by putting in a lot of hard work, rather than spending away our time in the pubs and loosing our minds. Who said our youth is degrading?? This time we decided to use our creativity and put up a good show. Hey it’s not hard to use all the little penny that we have saved from our pocket money to create a small fund to buy the materials to create banners and flowers to create the flower carpet and more than everything we all.....and by this I mean everybody even stopped doing our assignments (ah that was not very hard) to do the painting and decide about the various events to be put up the next day, which includes group songs and a quiz on Onam and Malayali culture. By the time we designed the floor for the flower carpet it was 11:30pm. Then we got busy arranging the flowers and chopping them very neatly.my hostel room is a mess but this time it is all for a good cause.
Sleep… we are betraying you this time being awake for the whole night…hope you can make it up to you next time we have a boring lecture. My dear Mr Sleep you always get away with it during times like that. Please leave us alone this time to do our work which we are doing with so much enthusiasm.
We are doing this during the times of Gokulashtami, the cultural and creative extravaganza of the collage. I was already tired after organizing the ‘chakravyuha’, the quiz program, so my friends granted me a break from chopping flowers and painting for Onam which is tomorrow. And so I found time to blog about our hard work. I will have to get back to work when I am caught writing happily without helping friend with the work. Oops! They are already frowning at me. Guys please let me finish this. This time I am not writing about Marx… I am writing about you….
Staying awake and working after 2 00 pm is so unusual. Unless there is some serious exam the next day….cant guess how good tomorrow is going to be but I better get back to work, with Eminem blasting in my ears. This Onam is going to be unique in every way and will be engraved in my mind till my last breath.
