Calibrations...

SVCE held its first years' cultural, "Calibrations", today and most of us freshers had lots of fun; even the ones that didn't really take part in any of the events. Let's face it, if you had an option not to put yourself under any sort of pressure and just had to sit in the audience and pass judgment on others, which one of us wouldn't choose it?? I did take part in quite a few events, though less than the number I had originally planned on taking part in... Quiz was by far the most important event for me because it was a sort of defining thing- proving to me that even if I wasn't the best quizzer in that auditorium I would stand a chance; that I could compete without falling flat on my face... I came second and I knew I couldn’t have done better than that- the three years of QFI (Quizzing Foundation of India) experience that my opponent had over me was impossible to overcome. Looking at the bright side of things, I found a decent quizzing partner in Krishnan- interested and pretty fun to have around…
Ironically, the event that I practiced hardest for, the ‘light music-vocal’, I didn’t even get to take part in because it clashed with the finals of the quiz. Hard as it was for my friends to believe, I did sincerely regret not having had a chance to sing on stage. SVCEians bad luck I suppose – didn’t get a chance to regale in my musical brilliance... J Hell practicing was a whole load of fun. I’m expecting to be sued by my neighbors anytime soon for physical and emotional damages. I screwed up ADZAP because I was so upset after the quiz prelims which I was sure I had bungled up which was sad for my friend, Stutie, as ADZAP to her was what quiz was to me… But this is getting ridiculous- I’m taking a few stupid cultural events far too seriously! My friends Sukriti (JAM), Priyanka (Antakshri) and Ramkumar (ADZAP NOT QUIZ AND NOT JAM!) all made the finals of some event or the other so as one of my friends correctly observed, great day for PSBB!! Still a PSBBian at heart… Will learn to be an SVCEian as well….
