tum MICA mat jaiyyo..mat jaiyyo meri jaan....
Starters: (a) MICA= Mudra Institute of Communication and Advertising is located some gazillion kms away from Ahemdabad. it was so far ... i thought they'd ask for a passport to be stamped.(b) I had the privilege of attending their anuual inter-college fest MICANVAS'06(27/10 - 29/10)
Whteva before Main course:Typical endless bus journey ..nauseating for some...cosy for a couple of couples(paisaaa vasoool maaaaaaan). Life was all fine till i reached Ahemdabad. Got off at Paldi ( i think). It was funny to see green n yellow autos ..as if ...the BuntyNBabli crew forgot to colour them back into normal rickshaw colours!!! and it gets better....the Meter (looks like a clock) is right next to the driver...with a broken glass...big enough for a finger to tamper it.
From Paldi, its around 1 hour in a rick. (TRIVIA TIME: i noticed...only Mumbaikars measure distance with time..for eg: its an hour away..45mins from here etc etc.... i dont ever recollect defining distance in KMS. So spatial measurements have always been a big challenge for me). and VOILA.....MICA's here!!!
Main Course: Trust me...bohot gaali padi MICA ko....to build itself in the middle of nowhere...in a God forsaken place. Here come's the 1st joke....the guard asks us for our college icards... which is mandatory in any college!! But what wud they do if we dint have our icards... SEND US BACK TO EARTH???? dude... i just let my space shuttle go....
We entered the most talked about college's gates.... to find out if all the talk was just gas!! I went, i saw and i died... I religiously took back every word i said against its location.
It did not look like a management college whatsoever. Maybe, i presumed it to be so.This college looked more like a theatre==>archaic architecture...with brick walls...1 floor high...weird roofs cuz it managed to keep the Ahd'di weather OUT!!!!
Simple from the outside but hi-tech inside!!
This is the open air theatre where they screen 2-3 movies a week (classics from all genres). They have a movie committee who watch every classic from any country, approve the same and screen them for the rest. Food and drinks are non-stop from their 24hr open Chota Canteen.
This is the BEST PART of MICA...their AUDI!!! it doesnt get any basic than this. Steps with mats laid out and cushions for support.PERIOD
And there is much more. The Director(lovingly called PAT) has a pony tail, always in sports wear with a coffee mug minding his own business.Doesnt follow Autocracy and cooler than most of the students there :)
Completely cut-off from the outside populace, Micans are living in the world of their own. Serene and Self- Sufficing. Apparently...they are not missing much!!!
Desserts: I dont know what keeda is there in me.... I JUST COULDNT WAIT TO COME BACK HOME!!! I guess..im not made for Serenity!!! Calmness creates restlessness in me!!! So rushed back home... back to reality....to my people... to my own world...where the clock is faster than the ceiling fan!!!
Freshners: Im gonna say the unthinkable(anti-ekta kapoor).. MICA to MICA hai...but SASURAL ki baat hi kuch aur hai ...
