Rant 9: holi shit!!

There's always been two sides to every coin right?
So as i slept away the summer heat on a day they call Holi , one side of the coin was literally being played out at a campus hangout area called KC.
Fortunately, we live in a world with digicams and one video from that morning session kinda looked like one of those Goa rave videos with just about everybody going nuts in single spot, if thats even possible.
Your's truly woke up at the ungodly hour of 12:30 pm under bright sunshine and explored the area thus ravaged.

..and in between (the mayhem) were caught the doors.

the immortal holi-war soldier.....adi

Rant 6: "No, see? you got beep"

Our college kicked off it's annual Media and Communication fest, Article 19 on the 26th of February. Among the many eminent personalities attending as part of the resource team (workshops etc) one perhaps stood out for the sheer amount of beeps he might have got on real broadcast television.

the fest aims at promoting free speech. hence on the second day, i.e. today morning, this company called 3rd thought entertainment. one of their pitches was an "XpresR" yes that is the spelling of this Machine (???)

They began by explaining how everyone has different emotions (and i thought I was good...man this was hardcore insight). hence they had a Machine which played music according to these emotions. ok kinda cool yes. we all love music.
they also said that if u tried to play music from two different emotions, say love and anger then the music would jar and not be pleasing..or something to this effect.
ok moving on.
The time came to try this legendary Machine

and this is where it gets interesting
so enjoy...

the master and the slave machine


"oh praise the box"


"it works...I'll show you"



"see? you got music!"



"no, I'm telling you, this shit works bitch!"



"hmm...now what rhymes with shoe?"



"I'm getting too old for this"



"maybe if I sit here for a while"



"broken arrow here.. switching to laptop"



"hey...shit happens"


"ok techie team stand by"
