Mime Club 5 years

Lord Ganesha is very fond of  balls of rice flour with a sweet core. On one of His birthdays (Ganesh Chaturthi) he was going around house to house accepting offerings. Having eaten a good number of these, He set out moving on His mouse at night. Suddenly the mouse stumbled on seeing a snake and as a result Ganesha fell down. His stomach burst open and all the food came out. But Ganesha stuffed them back into His stomach and, tied the same snake around his huge tummy. Seeing all this, the moon had a hearty laugh. This unseemly behaviour of the moon annoyed Ganesha immensely and cursed moon that anyone who looks at the moon of Ganesha's birthday will surely earn a bad name, censure or ill-repute.

4 years back on a Ganesh Chaturthi day, a 
club(or should it be mentioned explicitly "a bunch of clubs in BITSGoa") seems to have looked at the moon... and as the Lord said,
" Whenever entertainment level falls and number of flop shows grow the Almighty reveals His presence!The Supreme though unborn and undying, becomes manifest in human form to overthrow the forces of boredom and give justice to DOS ;)"

The performer, The Good ,The Bald and The Ugly

Disclaimer : All characters in this blog are real and any resemblance anyone living of dead is purely intentional.

The performer
I do not need to tell you who this guy is. The biggest and brightest performer of mime club. The person who won appreciation from even the most hostile person in the campus. But what makes him an awesome performer is the question. I feel his tummy has more expressions than his face. As we say, let the belly do the miming. He is truly an amazing performer and a "true gentleman". With the amount of English words flowing out of his mouth, two years of working under him has given me enough preparation to perform well in GRE.
A thorough gentleman , he always insisted on outperforming himself in every way, everytime. Once he described his views abut mime club after certain number of years, he said " It should be like Opera". I can guarantee him that we are on the track .....
He is "the performer".. \m/

The Good
People call him Professor, rightly so because he preaches. Should n't we call him a priest? A person who sets high standard for himself. He is an idealist. A combination of a High Performance Super Computer , Mahatma Gandhi, Hitler , Mussolini, Obama (people i am running out of names....) , I cant follow with more names. Admitting the fact that he is the most awesome person the world has ever seen(just telling what he feels).
The title good refers to the fact that this person is never angry. With a totally cool head( i think Zero Kelvin is the temperature of his head) , he drives the direction part of mime club. With his writing pad and the diagrams and impeccable patience he made sure that things are ready in time. His greatest ambition was to make a mime which would drive one of the biggest industries in america to extinction. I am glad that we still have that plan.

Kudos to prof... The Good

The Bald
First of all apologies for the title.. But this is the awesomest person in the club. During practice we can see him running around the basement area. Three years of brainstorming for the club has eventually turned him bald. If prof was the idealist, he was our idea man. I think if he was the model for IDEA we would have been saying "What an Idea Sirjee?" almost every second. The flow of ideas , good and bad where so frequent that sometimes he had to keep it with himself
because with those many ideas he can be the next victim of an abduction by Al Qaaeda.
The mimes which i have been a part of , there has been a contribution from this guy in each and every scene. I remember when he was in PS i used to call him and describe each and every scene of each mime, and he used to suggest ideas.
The bald, brainy IAS officer :)

The Ugly
Ugly was the role he played in the club. He was strict and enforced the discipline. Even I fall into the category of ugly.He made sure that there was no time wasted on petty things and people reach on time, practice sessions were fruitful because he was there. The angry young man of the mime club. With his busy schedule of handling two degrees, going home every month and rigorous study schedule, he came out clean and successful . Just do not have words to describe him..
The Ugly... The manager...

Hope you enjoyed the piece...
