As Good As It Gets

4 girls and 3 guys were the only ones who thought that the PLAN for the 7th Year of Selectica India i.e. Foundation Day made sense.

As for people like me....This was a full-proof plan to make a fool out of ourselves.

This wasnt a football game where just about anybody can join in and kick the ball one or two places contibuting to the game. This plan required a highly professional approach and a lot of hard work to get it right the first time and practice for a consistent performance.

Moreover,we had a bunch of guys who were really focussing on test-cases for the next release or project milestones and deadlines.To make them simultaneously work on things they had never bothered to look at was a major concern.

We didnt have a teacher, there was a shortage of participants and there was no place to perform.

The Fashion Show had an ulterior motive = "Come, make a fool out of yourself"

So, I volunteered.

[Enter: A Professional Tutor. A stage and ramp to be built. An empty third floor 12,000 sq ft for practice.15 wannabe models.Halogen Lights and Music.
The stage was set...the people...hmm...not quite..]

Always Left Foot First

This was our motto for the first day.

The guys caught up very fast with the walk (Too much of Fashion Tv can do that to a person).Girls in all walks of life are cleverer and smarter than their counterparts.This fact holds true throughout my life unless mentioned otherwise.Yes, they picked up faster.

In office on Monday , it was easy to point out people who were taking part in the fashion show.All the walks from cubicle to cubicle, cubicle to printer and queque's for lunch had left foot first.

Even Q.A. and Development both were left foot first.

(Another training is recommended for making us break this habit.)

The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility

Does the term 'torture through music' make any sense to you ?

Take your favourite song.Play it once and you will feel be on Cloud 9...maybe even 10.Play it non-stop for six hours and skip lunch ;You will wake up at night humming the song and this will be scarier than the time you dared to see 'Evil Dead' in your fourth standard.

The lady singing the 'Lalala' from our Western Ethnic round made some people pull their hair out.Nobody went bald.

Dapper Ditties

A hunting we will go...
A hunting we will go...
We'll catch a fox
And put him in a box
And then we'll let him go!

I guess that sums up our apparel search.

WANTED: Instructors for dhoti and saree wearing.Instructors should do a job good enough to hold the clothes and the models together for 15 minutes without the help of duct tape.

As Good As it Gets...

Tommorrow we hit the ramp.(When we started it sounded worse than 'hittin a truck')

Feeling good about this.
