Euphoria

Spring Fest 2006

What a start !!! School friend (meeting Arijit after 1.5 year) , college friends(meeting Mani, Pandey, Niksam, Bharath and Katoch after 1.5 mins or hours :P ) and then EUPHORIA (meeting them after 1.5 lives perhaps ;-) )

With all the pushing and shoving and an almost stampede ... the show had to be something really special to "break even" in terms of all the effort invested simply to get in. But to put it simply, it was awesome !!!




Well .. they just sang songs .. often manipulating tunes to quite an extent .. cacophonic on occasions .. but it was great. Really enjoyable . The evening had everything ...


  • Fun .... "Ladke hamesha pyaar mein laath khate hain, aur ladkiyan hamesha laath marti hai" .. nice Euphoria funda, little twists ("Its my life" - Jon Bon Jovi, "Another brick in the wall" - Pink Floyd, "We will rock you" - Five and Queen and the list continues..) , standing up and sitting down and standing up again only to sit down once more
  • The cellphone dance :) ... last year's charm still remains
  • A little remembrance .. "Aankhen bandh kar loon jo main, dekhoon bas tumhe"
  • A lot of memories ... "Maaeri, yaad woh, yaad woh aayeri i i i i i"
  • Third Year confidence ... once TOAT was a little empty, went right up to the stage and took pics (cameras, i think, are not allowed)
  • A little dancing !! Well .. as much as I am capable of :) .. which, of course, is literally nil ;)
  • Loads and tons and loads of singing and shouting
  • Personal discovery .. my teeth appear really white in Canon A-410 digicam pics (the detailed specification 'coz in every other scenario, they appear off-white ;) )
  • Great music .. that comes as an after-thought

The whole atmosphere was great (with the exception of the gentleman from behind who kept on requesting for 'Emraan Hashmi' songs). Every individual that appreciates music must have enjoyed.

It was one of those evenings when you are just happy and you don't worry too much about anything else ... when you just forget your troubles (as if I have any ;) ) and partake in the reverie ...

To describe the mood succinctly ...

Its great to have rocking time in the fest and that too with the school friends.
Last year Euphoria performed in our cultural fest too. and coincidentally or knowingly they sang the same songs that you mentioned.May be becuase they know only these songs ;)
but the atmosphere they created was electric.
The pic complements your writing perfectly. Nice to see your cheerful face after about 6 months.
Hope Spring Fest'06 make you live in a state of euphoria .enjoy!!

nice to see arijit in that pic.... "seeing" him for the first time in 2.5 years... he seems to have put on a bit of weight... but the "cool-dude" attitude still remains!
