I say Zenith, you say

"Zenith se meri kul jama punjee: aik Twilight kee copy, aik t-shirt jisne ub lelee hai the "coveted" position of my night suit ensemble, aik name tag, chund naye dost, cravings for Hot n Spicy, a better understanding with the parents, aur itni yaadein that they threaten to overwhelm me." I know my "bestie" is going to believe I'm being melodramatic, but its been a highlight for me this experience at zenith.

This blog shouldve been published two years ago, but I'm a very dedicated procasinator if nothing else. Anyhow, since my first outing at Zenith, they've come a long way from what I've heard. 3 consecutively improved showings which promise more entertainment and edutainment to follow.

Remember what they say about the dark side: ALWAYS the ones with the cookies

Listen as graduated students we're pretty jaded to begin with and while most people sat in awe of what was being presented to us; my friend and I sat in awe of how these people were in awe of pure bullcrap. Not to discount the hardwork and effort that goes into arranging such mamoth events, but when one of your Alum is a guest speaker and they ask you to make paper planes to signify your dreams that you want to chase, the line between metaphorical and literal has just morphed into absurd. Full disclosure, this happened at an IBA event, not CBM's Zenith (atleast not that I've heard of).

Yes you did!! You don't need to hide your face though

The only thing you really learn from these events is how much of yourself you're willing to put out. Whether its for a friend who's gonna ditch you the next day (sorry Omar), but then fight her way back (hey, Omar) or if its the people who're working with you day and night, often being thanklessly overlooked (much like real world corporate shenanigans). You'll remember the moments between the speeches and the presentations, when those boys danced on stage or the play that got cancelled because it was too scandolous or that time when your friend's friend's girlfriend took a very personal squabble public on stage (it was AWESOME).

But mostly you'll remember how NOONE in CBM (once again full disclosure; none of the people present in the working committee more like) knew how to work a simple Windows Movie Maker =p

I still love you guys though.
