Move over Roadies...Time for ZOADIES.!!!

ok people a warning before you read this and the 3 posts that are linked and going to follow this one:

" This particular post is going to be huge, lengthy and funny at places so if u're bored , want to go for a leak or watch balika vadhu or watever please dont start reading till u're in the mood and have enough patience. Thank you"

let me start by telling you that prateek MALPANI has just won one of the most happening and talked about event of ZOADIAC-09 the cultural festival ofRAJIV GANDHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY and the event was ZOADIES.

Zoadies infact was introduced in the college last year and was a huge success. I dint know the popularity of the event till I was a part of it because this happens in full public view and nothing is hidden.

Zoadies as the name suggests is an aped version of the ever so hit reality show ROADIES.

The concept is awesome and connects well with everyone.

I had no intentions whatsoever of taking part in it. Just as I dint take part last year because I was happy winning amazing races (another hit event at every festival) and even if it wasnt for winning I was happy participating.

On 19th March it so happened, I came out of my classroom after the 1 hour " o-so exciting lecture" and i see a poster stuck on the wall which read

" ZOADIES G.D AND P.I 19th and 20th march those interested please contact MITHUN"

I was like OK.. this guy has an event that too the most important event. I was too bored to attend lectures any further and just for timepass I was like lets go for it.. and c wats happening!

And here starts my journey and my one on one account of how I won the mega event "ZOADIES" I am writing things in detail cos I want the memory to remain fresh for many years.

19th March-Thursday

I enter the G.D room and look for mithun where he is his usual self "mind ****ed" with haphazard organization.I went upto him and told him" mithun put me in one of the groups for G.D". So he was like " tujhe pakka seriously part lene ka hai kya toh bol faltu mai shot mat kar"

and then he put me in one of the groups where the topic given to us was

" Should there be a reservation quota in colleges for maharastrians living in maharashtra?"

My obvious response to the topic was a big "NO" and trust me it was no where near G.D people were standing and shouting and fighting.. so even i stood and shouted and fought. Poor aman who was also a part of the group wanted to say but his voice just wouldnt come out and was almost on the verging of becoming deaf sitting in between two people who wer shouting on top of their voice. There was this one guy in my group who said " we want only 5% the rest is there na for u guys"

Which got me saying something

" 5% marathi quota 22% sc st 7% obc 7% girl 3% handicapped 25% management quota toh open meri walo ko kya ghanta milega "

and the moment i stopped there were roars and clapping in the room.

STAGE ONE CLEARED!!!! got selected for the P.I.

20th March-Friday

It was the dreaded PERSONAL INTERVIEW session day. I'd heard so much about it because they obviously would want to ape RAGHU RAJIV and since that is on national television and still looks so bad this is in one class room so it will be full throttle. And people kept on saying that phaad ke rakh denge they insult and they take ur case like anything. I was like let me have this experience as well.

We were given a form where we were made to fill up questions like :

1. What does SEX mean to you?

2.The craziest thing you've ever done?

3.Why do you want to be a ZOADIE?

4.strength weakness and shit?

5. 5 things you cant live widout.

etc etc..

I entered and what happened next was the longest interview ever .. close to 25 minutes and It wasnt me alone there were 20 other ppl sitting in the room besides the judges to get amused.

But still they took my case ... I back answered them... I counter attacked...and I conquered..lol..

The judge sitting there said " You're too boring and relaxed. And I want crazy horny hormonally imbalanced ppl" I am like.. are u sure u selecting for zoadies...lol...

the comment on my form was " Can fight back hard. Good speaker"

(For the entire personal interview video and inputs from it please contact me later :p cos it better be explained and told rather than written about)

STAGE 2 cleared!!!

23rd March Monday - ZODIAC KICKS OFF

I was amongst the 25 people who got selected for the OPEN G.D AND P.I

Yes the zoadies had begun to unveil itself in front of the crowd.
The crowd , the judges , the guests were obviously there to see how us perform and laugh at the lame jokes that the contestants would make to get in.

14 people were supposed to be selected and the guest of the evening was none other than..

guess....guess.....guesss......

it was....

it was...

JACKIE SHROFF...(blehhhhh....)

he came with a youth image of himself with a bandhana low waist jeans which kept on dropping lower as he stood to talk.. in his usual tapori language " aye bidu log.. aye bawa.. aye bidu.."

come on!!..( i guess someone was stoned)

He came , had tea.. spoke nonsense shook hands with the principal and he was off.

Thankfully. Better on screen man!..

So this one just being a formality... the 25 ppl were made to sit on the open lawn of RGIT in full view of public.

Some funny moments.. some really boring.
