Two days without lunch or dinner, one and a half hours sleep a day for two days, hectic planning, no bath :P, and a humungous amount of fun is what chillout 2007 ended up offering. For those who do not know, here goes. Chillout, the only first years only cultural fest at PSG college of Technology, took place on the 28th of January 2007. Department pride was at stake, this being an inter department event. People were exuberant. The two main events were chart fest and the adzap. The department which wins those two will naturally have an edge over the others.
The Preparations:
*Almost all dayskis stayed over at the hostel for Chillout. The watchman was flummoxed everytime he checked the rooms as we went from room to room till he slept. Then preparations commenced. The chart was finally ready at night just 7 hours before the event.Kudos to manjunath and team for that . they worked for three days straight. Adzap was even more hysterical. The recorded dialogues got ready just 2 hours before the event. The maximum anyone slept that night was 3 hours.Naveen the director did not even sleep. Honored! The day dawned.
D-Day:
One could sense the excitement in the air. It started out with the almighty clash between the mechs and the CSE people for the seats. In the end we stole in through a side entry and with the triumphant warcry sort of sound we pumped our fists. Our first victory. Everybody assembled. Ours was the department which cheered the most, that I can be sure of.
The batch name:
Our 4th years : CALITZ
Our third years: DEXTROBLITZ
Our second years:ESPRITZ
Our batch:F5ERZ
The F5erz was the name we decided upon after much deliberation. As a matter of fact it is the only name which starts wth an F and ends in Z which sounded great.
The results:
Chart fest: No prize. We were hard done by.
Quiz: Second (Me and shri Hari) And third (Arnav and Sathya)
Dumb charades: First (Pinal, Nisha and Aishwarya)
Pot pourri: Third ( Me Shri Hari and Sanutha)
VJ hunt: Second(Niveditha and Chandni) and Third ( Alagu maams and Jude machi)
Jam: Vignesha(Finalist)
Adzap: Great story, presumably the best but the worst execution.
Voila! We ended up getting overall second with 200 points. Sandwich came first. We were really down at the end of adzap and when we came second the din was just too much. My vocal chords have never worked so much in my entire life. A moment to savour. Hi5s galore, hugs, yells, team song rendered in many ways, different faces of ecstacy at night 8 o clock was more than I had asked for. Somehow something makes me feel that had we won adzap and come first, the joy would not have been at this level because to be down and then to bounce up comes with sweetness unparalled. What counted was we worked as a team, be it a hosteler and dayscholar or a boy and girl or tamilian or non tamilian or blah blah. We kicked some serious ass that day.
This year marked many firsts....
* first time sandwich got the event. Cheers to them.
*First time a team came second without hitting anything in the major events. That is us btw :P
*First time computer science boys and girll participated together on stage. Our seniors did not do that. F5ERZ united!!!
*And this may not be a first. There was not a single event without a F5ER in the final. Tadah!
The event which brought about unity in a class which till then had some differences. We treated ourselves at Peoples park- the entire class.
People always said college brings a whole new view of life. People always say how they miss school life. All the fun and stuff. Well school was fun-helluva lot of fun. That was fun being kids. Now this is fun-the post teenage kind of way. there are a lot of differences between the two but whatever said the fun still remains and the studies too! College treats us more as adults yet there are still some folks at college worse than at school. I don't want to say anymore.
