A Useless Effort…… Part 3

Ek nayi subah ke saath sabhi ke chehro par ek naya excitement tha, excitement performance ka, excitement jeetne ka, excitement dosto ke saath ka… Finally we were in Jaipur and reached our destination that is Amity campus. It was a large campus extended up to some acre *as stated in its advertisement*

We completed the formalities and finally we were in our respective guest rooms. Main, Vaibhav, Sameer and Karthik luggage room me hi chod kar campus ki yatra pe nikal gaye.. its was such a nice campus.. Superb infrastructure, best facilities, every thing was perfect. Hum nearly half hour tak campus me ghumte rahe, Aur wapas jab apne room me aaye to hairan ho gaye.. Hamara room khula pada tha aur hamara luggage waha se gayab tha.. Yaad aaya ki jaldi-jaldi me hum room ko lock karna hi bhool gaye the *exitement kahi bhi hamara peecha nahi chodtaa* Hum paglo jaise idhar udhar bhag rahe the apna luggage dhundhne ke liye.. tabhi building ka watchmen aaya aur usne bataya ki Aap 4 log the isliye aap ka luggage saamne wale bade room me shift kar diya gaya hai. *Ahh... relief * hamara luggage bilkul sahi salamat tha.. we were finally in our rooms and managed to get ready one by one for the inauguration of fest.

When we told about the luggage stuff to the girls group woh bhi hass hass ke pagal ho gayi..

Simmy-“Dekha kuch der hum tumhare saath nahi the toh tumhare saath kya ho gaya.”

*Thats why I always insist to be with you.. I thought *

Everyone laughed loud.

Now the Inter-college fest was about to begin.. they have called some of the state ministers for inaugurating the event. After formal inauguration and some boring speech, the Chairmen of the University finally green signaled the fest with the first event of Poster making. Priyanka was participating in this event so we wished her good luck and moved away. Vaibhav moved for his Debate competition and Kinjal, Megha, Karthik, Sameer, Shruthi apne dance ke liye ready hone ke liye apne rooms me aa gaye. Mera aur Simmy ka event afternoon session me tha so we are in kinda relieved situation. We decided to stay back in auditorium as Simmy was willing to watch the campus.

Main ek bar phir se campus ki yatra par tha, but is bar Simmy ke saath. I was guiding her like a tourist guide who used to take care of their passengers. *Aisa lag raha tha main Amity ka hi student hu aur Simmy ko college dikhane ke liye mujhe kaha gaya hai..* hum dheere dheere chalte-chalte ek hour ke baad apne dosto ke pas pahuche. Wo sab ready ho kar dance ki final rehearsals kar rahe the. Vaibhav bhi apne Debate competition ko jaise taise nipta kar waha aa gaya tha. They were confident and good enough to win this competition. Thodi der me Priyanka bhi waha aa gayi. She was happy with her performance in Poster making. After half an hour we all moved towards auditorium.

Me, Priyanka and Simmy wished all of them a good luck and found our place to sit and cheer them up. While sitting, Priyanka asked-“itni der kya kiya tumne?”

I ignored her, Simmy answered-“ Hum college campus dekh ke aye,, bahut sahi banaya hai yar….” *Girls har baat ko itne aache se batati hai ki excitement aa hi jata hai..*

Priyanka-“Oh great… mujhe bhi dekhna hai,, apan sabhi log baad me challenge dekhne.”

*Oh God… not the third time…. Awww.. * I just nodded.

Ek ke baad ek top class performances ke baad finally announcement hua-“ And now we would like to invite on stage, the group from udaipur, please welcome group no.8 “The Ocean Waves” *I was really not aware by this group name but it sounds cool.. me shayad Simmy me jyada busy tha* And now as the curtains moved… all the audience got exited as the music began… they started it like real professional dancers and moved towards end with the same confidence and enthusiasm. The audience became fond of them, and cheered them from deep of their heart.

We all were no more exited in watching the other entries so we moved towards the green room… we congratulated them for the superb performance. They all were looking quite satisfied with their performance.

In the afternoon session, we all had our lunch in college mess, and it was time for the Song competition. Me and Simmy moved earlier from the mess as we need to be ready for the event.

Hum dono ab song ke liye bilkul ready the.. hum dono green room me pahuch gaye the aur baki friends hum ko cheer karne ke liye audience me baithe the. 1,2,3,4… ek ek kar ke sabhi duet performances ho rahi thi.. I became quite tensed after watching such a large audience in front of me.

Me-“yar sab kuch thik toh hoga na?”

Simmy-“ Tension mat le, itni practice kari hai,, sab aacha hi hoga.”

Ye keh kar, usne mera haath pakda aur kaha apni aakhain band karo aur God se pray karo sab aacha hi hoga. I strengthened my grip on her hand and looked towards her face, *her eyes closed same as I have seen her in the classroom singing duet with me, she was looking damn beautiful in her white dress.* I just closed my eyes and felt the warmth of her hand and prayed for a minute. *Itni khubsurat ladki mere saath hai toh mere saath bura kaise ho sakta hai*

And finally its our turn to perform. She signaled me to start the song, and as we begun, we performed like a rock star, we were happy and our audience was happy too with our performance. After finishing our performance we looked into each other’s eyes.. *like her eyes said to me.. we have done it*

Ab sham ki 6 baj chuki thi and it was time for sun set.. we all were sitting on the one end of college campus watching the sun melting down between the mountains.

It was a great day for all of us, we all tried our best for the performances and were expecting good results out of them. Hamara plan bhi kafi hadd tak safal tha.. Kinjal aur Karthik ne bahut time saath me bitaya tha, Karthik and Kinjal were both happy togather. Woh khush the ki unki performance bhi aachi hui aura ab who saath the.. hamare efforts kaam kar kar rahe the,, aur saath me main bhi khush tha,, Simmy mere saath thi, mere sabhi dost khush the,, We enjoyed our dinner and came back to our respective guest rooms and slept down early as we have to woke up early in the morning for the morning prayer and the Prize distribution ceremony.
