After being postponed and re-postponed, the Class XII farewell finally took place today. It was a total crap!!
Wait - the previous line did not have a good impact. Well let me repeat it once again...
It was CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPP!
Imagine a farewell ceremony with no entertainment. Last year, we had put up such a beautiful farewell ceremony for the previous Class XII batch. We had put in so much hardwork in order to make that day memorable...
And what do we get in return? Nothing!
No music.. No dance... Not even food! All that the school could give us was a mini pizza, dry samosa, cake and a can of Pepsi. The previous batch had such a nice meal - thanks to us. Each one of us, had contributed 2 DINAR for their function.
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
Twenty years from now, when my kids ask me - 'Mama, how was your farewell in Class XII?',
what will I tell them...?!? Should I tell them that we sang (...National Anthems), held candles (..while burning my hand), took oaths (..with my fingers crossed) and wore graduation gowns (Man! I looked like an old lady in it!) ?
If you still find reading this interesting - then I am sure you will not mind reading the rest about the farewell...
1.
MORNING RAAGAFor the first time in my life :
- I wore a bindi on my forehead. The kind of bindi Komolika wears in Kasauti Zindagi Ki..
- I put mehndi tatoos on both hands
- I painted my nails with nail polish
- I left my hair loose (Usually I prefer tying my hair)
- I wore a high heel shoe
- I straightened my hair
All this made me look more feminine. I never realised that I could look so great!
Wearing my ghagra-choli was a HERCULEAN TASK! There were so many zips, hooks and ribbons...It was so complicating!

RAMP SHOWEven before the farewell ceremony could begin, all the guys and girls showed off like anything. The girls were like busy adjusting their 'pallu', combing their hair and what not... They didn't even spare "THE TOILET" (

They all thought that they looked hot until the real star arrived.. Who? Me, of course.

CLOWNS IN GOWNS?Soon our "RENTAL" graduation gowns and caps arrived. The students were divided into three categories based on the size of the gown- small, medium and heavy.
ME came under the heavy category. No comments.

THE CEREMONYEach one of us, were asked to come on stage with a lighted candle and take oaths. We were all given a special momento..
As we went up on stage, one by one, to recieve the momento, the announcers gave a brief description about us...
Guess what they said about me...
'[insidemamind] (Name changed for obvious reasons!) is soft... gentle...' - blah blah blah - ' She is a Pablo Picasso' - blah blah blah blah...
Me a Picasso? Ewwwwwwwwwww! But seriously speaking, I forgot that I was good in painting as I spent most of my time studying and going for tuitions. I feel really bad that I have not given justice to my interests.
Next came the speeches... After hearing so many speeches, the only reaction that took place was in my stomach..
Yes! I was hungry after listening to all the boring speakers.

PHOTO SESSIONI love photo sessions!! I can't even count how many photos I have appeared in. The school took a group photo of the girls and the guys in their graduation robes.
We were NOT supposed to throw our caps in the air... After all they have been rented from somewhere...

KHANA KHAZANAI was so happy when I came to know that we would be offered food because I was really hungry.. I could even eat a horse!
But when I saw what was actually there in my school's KHAZANA, my hunger vanished away in thin air!

HIDE - N - SEEKI had taken everyone's picture except Maali's. I had searched for him, till I finally found him standing opposite the Basket Ball court.
Sometimes I really feel that Maali is a girl and I am a guy... 'Coz I have much more guts than him even though I am shy.
It takes a lot of pain to get him in the right position for the photo. So I made his friend to take a picture of his with my camera.

That's all for now.
Pablo Picasso .. Who me? - Part 2 coming soon
