reverbs review

hey all
DAY-1
yes ar rehman came yahooooooooooo. it was unbelievable. as the paper quoted it the next day " as soon as the students saw the familar curls they went into a frenzy!" a frenzy that reverberated till the two day event was over at the karnataka sangha. kudos to rehamn he came on time on the dot to be more presice despite workin all nite on one of his multiple projects and he didnt dissapoint. he gave us reason to shout and scream with a rendition of "dil se" which was brilliant. ganesh and kumaresh the guests of honour were over shadowed by his very presence but they reminded all of us that they were around with a superb bhajan duet. the host perfomance of alai payuthe and vande mataram was brilliant and VED the man fastest man on drums this side of chennai set the stage on fire with a drum solo.
we started off slowly with lite music and then the message board came to life. basically the message board was the life of the party . but the party was in the hands of DJ ASHOK and he handled it in pretty much as well as ronaldinho controls a football.

yes now back to message board,. its basically wat u get when u give three wise guys ( in this case antarius, anirudh and vignesh ) a computer and a big screen and allow them to type wat they want on it. for example anyone who came to the fashion show will remember "the ashram"s show. the comment from the message board you ask?? " india shining!!" lol lol. some brilliant jokes and puns kept the mood in the karnataka sangha audi good and had the audience spell bound most of the time. the dj did a gret job and the small battles betwn the dj and the message board were well appreciated by all./

in the mean while a whole load of competitions went by with multiple winners , vm, bvm and cv doin most of the winning. lite music was over and done with that left JAM(this is where the msg board had the most fun) , folk dance, another solo by VED , ship wreck (won by the probably the smallest kid in the hall bruce lee his character was) ,apart from currency design , punch line among others. the day ended early fer once, so we had time to practice the host fashion show . and i like several others was very interested to kno wat was the plan. little did i kno i was gonna be part of the plan!!

yes u read right !! vignesh was nowhere to be found so me of all ppl was asked to sub fer him till he couldbe tracked down(shoulda been hunted down like a dog in my book :P) , so yes i unknowingly walked the ramp. yes me stop gasping in surprise. !!:P :P. anyway the dj changed the entire routine so i was left wonderin "OH CRAP !! WAT IF VIGNESH DOENST TURN UP WAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO??" but fer once i was lucky coz just as i was thinking this thot appears vignesh. and i was safely back to me place in the stands watchin . ahh now that was more like it.
got back home went fer class ate slept. thassal fer reverbs day-1.

DAY-2

YES it was finally time fer western music . the most awaited event at revrbs 2005. and it didnt dissapoint, after an amazin host performance comprisin of all time greats like "enter sandman","smells like..." and "i stand alone" the crowd was goin wild.
as if that wasnt enough on came VED and KIRAN with a brilliant duet . then the drummer went in to hyperdrive and it was all u could do to keeep ur head bangin at about the same speed as the bass drum reverberated the sweet smell of sucess to the host perfomers.

then we had the chance to witness 3 gods. prithvi from vm on the drums (he gave ved a run fer his money) , shreyans from shishya on the guitar( slash junior the message board called him ) and ajay rao from lady andal on the sax!! these guys just blew the crowd away and all three got standing ovations. then the judges performed and we realized y these ppl akshay chakrapani , krishna, kk and sujan are called gods of the gods. wat a show!!!

the next event was the quiz durin which yours truly kept score . damn that was a good job and an excellent quiz . the two teams from ps walkin away with the top honours and one of the teams from cv the third. the quiz masters did a gret job and so did their support. varun and harish witht he computer. and the quiz masters ajay kathik, karthik balajee, thakalli, and siddharth did a sooper job and were deservedly praised by mrs. ygp. a little secret ajay had no idea wat the questions were and he just did the job of an extempore quiz master and made it look like he knew it all. heheheh

then as the day wore on we worked thru the other events such as adaptune and block'n'tackle . we also worked our way thru a huuuge supply of food. hehe.

then came fashions and the various schools put their best feet forward and miss and mr revrbs decided . all the while the dj and the msg board still keepin the audience in hugh spirits. it was good . it just got better wehn the hosts performed. a performance appreciated even by the chief guest of the nite the comedian vivek.

after the prize distribution all the tired volunteers and most importantly the cul secs and the spls of both skls (kkn and nungambakkam ) have somethin that will resonate in their minds for the rest of their lives , but fer now its back to the books and the grindstone after 10 days of amazing fun, serious hard work by the organizers both student and staff and a lot of tine quarrels and a bucket load of new friends made . just wish we could have anothter one at some pt of time with the same bunch . wishful thinkin? hell yeah!! :D:D.

anyway i must take thy leave now , must continue to reminisce......

see ya later
