BABA Consultancy Services Part 1

Hi guys!! As we know people say sometimes good times in your life happen suddenly and when you try to relish and enjoy it ,the joy ride almost seems over.. Here I am to give a account of such an event which i went through and so thought of sharing it with everyone which was nothing short of one hell of a ride..Skits(Plays) have always been a passion for me because of thrill it provides in enacting different events and portraying different characters.. Though a regular in schools and PU,never had i ever set my foot on the stage during Engineering days.. Strange though this was always bugging as to what may be the reason.. So as to  3 years of engineering passed without any space of air left to breathe!!   Enter 4th Year..Everything changed around this time ,and there was more time to fool by... So I finally lifted my ass up n decided it was high time to go for something you have passion for.. The annual college festival "Anandotsava" was around the corner and time seemed perfect to perform for cultural activities..


The idea for BCS started just as a random conversation between me and  a CS friend named Shodhan.. we had done a skit together in PU n it was quite a good one(even though some people had asked in the end "What the hell did u guys perform on the stage" :P) So now the task was to get people for the skit.. this was not easy considering the unpredictable behavior of my classmates(no offense there mates, u guys r the best).. So the only option   now was to go on asking people if they were interested in doing a skit.. Surprisingly all the people whom i requested were eager to perform in the skit.. In the end  BCS team  consisted of 4 different branches "IS,CS,Mech,BT"... Never in my dreams had a thought crossed my mind that doing a skit on the D-day would drive me insane... We practiced a lot whenever we had time,but ideas were not coming around.. Fortunately our BABA(Mr Nikhil-almost Kai kodlikke edda  :P) came up with theme of mixing Baba Ramdev and Swami nithyanand..  So the plot was that Celebs would come and visit BABA to ask for  solutions to their problem.. The  6 actors finally decided were


1) Munni(Shreyas from BT)
2)Abhishek Bachchan(Princon from CS)
3)Upendra(Sushrut from IS)
4)Drunk Engineering Student(Again played by Shreyas)
5)Daya aur ACP Pradyuman(Played by Dayanand and me)
6)BABA's Assistants(Shodhan,Bharat,Sudheer)


The reason for Shreyas performing dual role was that a guy who was to play Munni had to drop out because of other commitments..But even on final day of performance we were still nervous  as to how the audience will react.. Then almost around in the afternoon of the D-day Nikhil informed us that he had planned to  go  to some waterfall with his friends.. Since we had already practiced many times everyone seemed okay with it.. But the horror or i would say the comedy that followed later in the evening was unforgettable which would be continued in Part 2.. :-o
