First and foremost, my heartiest congratulations to the IRIS'08 core committee(except for a few reservations, henceforth called 'they' ) for having a smashing fest.In the tiring circumstances you did a fantastic job.
But there are a few points i would like to dwell upon.............
After the annual day was over, the IRIS'07 committee, that is US, spent a few moments on stage after the lights had gone off. Probably the most poignant moments on our 4 years. WHY?? because we have spent the greater part of our last 3 years giving both sweat and blood for IRIS. Because there is no one else who feels the way we do about IRIS. We've seen it all. From fights at home to KTs to God knows what not. What we have done for IRIS needs to go down in Francis Legend. And this is true for the batch before ours also.So what am I getting at??? In one word...........RESPECT!
And there was an extraordinary lack of it from certain quarters. And that brings us to they. There were quite a few incidents that could be deemed under the NO-RESPECT category, but one stands out for me amongst all other.
Cut-back to the DJ-Nite. Due to lack of security, some jerk manages to reach DJ-Rink and talks to her. And they decide that it was our fault. So what do they do? They decide to clear the barricade of all B.E's. Fair enough! But when a certain Mr. Deeraj Rao went and stood next to the barriers, they PUSHED, yes PUSHED Deeraj out. Now for the un-initiated Rao is like the cornerstone of our committee. Even if you take all the work they have done in the past 3 years it will be soooooo much lesser than what Rao has done in even one fest! If anyone deserves respect its Rao!
David Brin famously said , "It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power." The power has gone to their heads. Well all i can say is WELL DONE! we were looking for some timepass in our last 3 months and you have given it to us. So you had better watched out.
Now for some personal messages..........
@ the person who was getting extra aggressive at the rock-show:
I'm SO GONNA KICK YOUR ARSE ALL THE WAY TO KINGDOM COME....................
@ mallu:
Sorry dude.....love you man!
ummm that's about it.............
Well to end on a cheerier note, the most abiding memory of this year's IRIS will be the JEC Siddhant Rai taking bottles on to the stage when Junkyard Groove asked for water. Dude you are the man!
Well guys cannot say hasn't been an eventful IRIS.........
Just wish I had broken the barricades though.........
cheers,
moksha
