Ok. Mood Indigo rocks baby! i think we (vivek & I) are one pair of true rock fans....true to the core! while ppl plan days before & make advanced arrangements for entry, we, like the true shameless gatecrashing rockers that we're, decided one night before, that we're going to Mood Indigo. No arrangements for entry. no passes. the show was to start at 6:00pm. we reached the place at 6:30PM. (that too with no passes. only our college IDs! i just dunno know how d hell did we expect 2 get in!! LOL!!) we also had a serious altercation with the rickshaw-wala on our way...its a different but interesting story. tell u some other time! LOL!!
Vivek had his bro inside (who'd come at 1pm with his frends), who somehow managed to get barely one pass for him. so now i was alone on my quest for a source of entry into the rock heaven!
with a dilema facing us as to the best (& easiest) route to "get in", we started considering various options:
1) try convincing d guards
2) look for some1 with extra passes (so foolish of us!)
3) scan the entire stretch of the road if someone had mistakenly dropped their passes! (hehehe! silly na! but AFTER d show was over, we did find two VALID passes lying nearby!)
4) snatch passes (n run!) from ppl standing in dark & carrying 'em carelessesly in their hands!
5) calling up a friend from IIT if he cud help (the dumbass was one darpoke who was sitting at home!)
6) ask ANYONE with an IIT volunteer's badge dangling around their neck if he cud do something
7) beg
After i'd exhausted all the options above, i then started to roam around in the IIT campus (with vivek standing in queue) and listen to other ppl's conversations to see if "kuch jugaad ho sakta hain kya" and if i cud find a suitable bakra. the conversations were interesting too! i found a guy who's gal had ditched him and he was siting dejected outside the gate and begging on d fone to his sweetheart to make her way there somehow! i was ashamed to ask him for his extra pass. i moved on & found this gal with two passes waiting for another gal! d gal was damn beautiful and i found this a good opportunity to talk to her. i asked her if i cud have that extra pass (shit! how cud i do it?!!) she gave me such a deadly look dat i took off without saying a single word! All this while, i was scanning d road (in vain) for some mistakenly dropped passes! i even mistook some pieces of paper as passes! but i saved myself from public embarrassment by not picking them up! but i cudn't help staring at those pieces of paper for a long time & at last ascertained that they were not the sought after passes by pretending to bend down to tie my shoe lace and taking a closer look in the mean while! (LOL!!) then there wer other perverts who had extra passes but wudn't give 'em to me. they'd only give to good looking babes! (neither am i good looking nor a babe!)
Thus was my quest for a pass moving on when vivek msgd me & said that the checking inside was not THAT strict n i had fair chances of getting in WITHOUT a pass!
so without hesitation, i jumped d queue (while d others had been standing for hours, that too WITH their passes!!) and got thru d 1st check point (posing as if i was talking on my fone & was too busy to take out my pass from d pocket!)
bingo! Thru with Level-1! but to my disappointment, there was another check point ahead. And as per Newton's FOURTH law, every1 else without a pass wont be asked 4 one, but just when u arrive, d guards change and he asks to see only ur pass. dats wat happnd 2 me. I tried that fone wala trick again but d guard perhaps knew dat trick. he waited and asked for the pass again! i said something like "hey listen. i'll call u later" and pretended to disconnect my fone call!! (LOL!!) & then told him my group of frends had all our passes and they were all inside! u think he'd take that argument? No way! i was thrown outta the queue just when i'd reached the entrance! damn my luck! just then i observed that i was not alone! there were many more shameless ones like me, standing outside dejected! but im one persistent gatecrasher! i struck a conversation with some of those good-for-nothing outcasts standing shamelessly outside the entrance (after been ejected from d queue!) and i came across this rare guy who had a pass, but not his college ID. (u needed both! i had only my college ID! LOL!!) i grabbed the opportunity. abb toh bakre ko halaal kar ke hi rahenge! LOL!! I put my hand around this guy's shoulder and explained (!!LOL!!) to him how it was no use now and without his college ID, he JUST wont be able to get in! I then suggested "hey dude! y dont u give ur pass to some1 who needs it yaar! afterall now its of no use to u!!) with a lil bit of my convincing and nakli sympathizing skills, (remember, im naklistani, rite?!) i extracted his entry pass, sent him home packing, wishing him good night, forgetting in the mean while 2 thank him! (i regret it though) and jumped the queue (once again! LOL!!) right near the entrance! & within 5 minutes, I WAS IN!! just minutes after vivek!
i called up vivek, but with d blaring music, he cudnt hear his fone ringing.
i SMSed him.........."I AM IN DUDE!!"

Hey jackal has not given you guys the complete picture...........
so let me take you people through the part that he missed......
Actually he has a friend who is doin mtech from IIT. I asked jackal to call him and see if he
could arrange for the passes, for both of us..... so our Supergenious calls him up. and guess
what... his friend turns up to be even more thakela than our very own jackal...
All he tells him is "arrey tu nikal toh sahi, mein dekhta hoon". he repeated the same dialogue
everytime. he tells him "arrey kuch khaas bhid nahi hoti, you can get in easily"... the duffer
didnt know all of bombay was dying to get into IIT that night (I told jackal the line will be
atleast 1km long).
He tells him "arrey IIT students are allowed to get in one visitor, so i will let you in, tell
your friend to make his arrangements".
Hey our jackal is so happy, he thinks he is on moon...... poor fellow.
He called his friend up again before leaving, just to make sure.. and he repeated is old dialogue
"arrey tu nikal toh......."
so our Supergenious is so damn sure his friend is gonna give him the visitors passes, that he is
dying to get to the gates of IIT, as if they are the gate to heaven......
In the meantime. i had told my brother, who had left for IIT at 1, along with his friends, to see
if he can arrange passes for us. so he calls up and says that he can arrange a single pass for
me, in other words, our superhero will have to fend for himself. But our seperhero is so
confident that his very able friend is gonna lay down a red carpet for his welcome that he barley gives a shrug...
He walks into IIT as if he has been given the VIP passes and a black limousine has been dispatched
to get his ass down there...... its as if the whole place had been waiting for him to arrive, so
kuch gaana bajana ho sake...... the entire thing was downright comic to say the least.......
To his surprise, he saw the line was at least 1km long (as i had told him it would be), then did
he begin to doubt the capabilities of his very dumb friend........ Meanwhile, I managed to locate my brother
and get the pass that he had arranged for me....... We joined the long line which seemed like the
line to hell....
Now our supergenious tries to call his superdumb friend.... his friend almost collapses after
learning that jackal is actually there in IIT. And then realization strikes him that he will have
to do something now to help our friend (talk about 11th hour preparation). He frantically tries to get the cell
numbers of his friends who happen to be volunteers of the event. he calls back in a few minutes
and gives the numbers. Our supergenious calls the numbers only to find that the visitor passes
are available only from 2 to 4 pm (it was 6 then) and that all passes have been issued. Then the
damn sentence that broke his heart into pieces....... DUDE, THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN GET YOU IN....
Jokes apart, you should have seen the look on jackal's face, his heart had sunk into his stomach.
For once, i felt sorry for jackal (JUST KINNDIN, I WAS LAUGHING MY GUTS OUT FROM INSIDE) and told
him how he could make something up......
The rest has been dealt in detail by the maestro himself......
But the look on his face wasnt to be missed, THE ENTIRE THING WAS ROLLED OUT IN THE MOST COMICAL
WAY POSSIBLE. So in one day I had the best of both worlds, A Great Rock Show and The Great Indian Comedy Show…..
Hey jackal, chill man just having some cheap fun at your expense... no hard feelings bro..
Afterall it did turn out well right...........eventually.......
But guys seriously, the show was amazing….. mind-blowing to say the least……..
