Meet the Idiots

We are doing a media course. So, it makes sense for us to interact with the professionals in the field and of course there is this matter of registering our presence in the media world. But why oh why, do we have go about it as if it is an event of phenomenal importance, not just for us but for the entire world. It is a simple interactive session, where the guests come, interact, lunch and go away. What is the hue and cry all about.

The bogey ma'am is after all of us trying her best to make us work like donkeys, a classic case of disguised unemployment (if my memory of my 10th class economics serves me right).
Yes, some preparation is vital so, the need for the food committee, the decoration committe, the choir (ahem! we share your embarassment, may the force be with you.)

But what completely befuddles me is the Press Committee.
I ask you, of how grand importance is the matter? Is it "newsworthy", will it "stop the press", will it take Delhi by storm? Yes, i didn't think so too.
Poor bogey ma'am has been losing her sleep (though not any weight, from what i see) over the comparisons with our film fest but is not able to grasp the simple fact that the film fest, and an international student's film fest in DU at that, is one of a kind event and it will get coverage.
The feeling of deja vu is sweeps over me, as it is now the matter of her nose, like our workshops (how we love to hate them). Let's see how the saga unfolds.

There is this one more little matter of us being taught how to behave. The dear bogey ma'am very kindly drills into us the tradition and culture of the college. So remember,

• we are the hots (oops, hosts)
• we won't talk back to guys (let the old & desperate bogey ma'am do it. what would this world be without a little kindness)
• we will listen to all our guests and ask them questions (yes, we will have to do this, otherwise the IPU and other morons will hijack the session and no need to say, how will it reflect on the department)
• we will eat the food, not eat the food, eat in the canteen, our will!!! ( sorry am still confused about that one)

More updates later..

P.S. - Bogey ma'am has made sure that we have a new prayer tune because the earlier one is the loser college's tune (nudge nudge wink wink).
