Today I reached school at around 7:20 AM :D

Today we had a dance competition at our school. I already knew that we would be having a dance competition, but I wasn't too enthusiastic about it. But as things unfolded, I became highly concerned about it!!

Lets start with the beginning. When I reached school, we had an assembly. It was totally unexpected. The "auditorium" had to be changed a bit for the competition, but still the assembly took place. Strange.

Then, I get to know that we would have the first hour of studies, i.e. Maths. I had not brought a notebook... got a little lecture from Mr. Saxena. :(

Anyways, the hour passed by and the competition started. And as we sat down to see the show, my enthusiasm started to rise. My classmates were in really "strange" dresses! Let me describe some...

Most strange costume award: Abhinav Mahajan
He performed on Black Or White (by Michael Jackson). He painted half his body black, and half his body (including hair) white. His performance was OK, not better than some other performances. What I really liked was the ending, the place where the lyrics go "Its Black, Its White". Abhinav flashed his black side when Michael said Black and flashed his white side when Michael said White :D

Black or white... you decide!

One strange things that I noticed was that there too many "saint" performers. Got bored a bit by that in some performances.

Saint parade??

Stranger than the strangest award: Ekansh Mishra
This was THE strangest costume: a tribal with leaves and shorts!!! His repeated his steps a lot, but I had fun watching it! By the end of his performance, he had started "shedding leaves" (as Mrs. Bhattacharya said later!).

Hu lalala hu!

Groups C (that is, classes 9th and 10th) did things less stranger. There was salsa and some more saints. I wouldn't comment much on that.

Salsa

Best performance of the day: Aseem Mishra
The best performance in my opinion was that of Aseem... on the title theme of Dum. His performance was energetic, just high enough to justify the song Dum. And in the end, he broke a brick with his hand (he's a Tae kwon do black belt). But the downside was that his shirt did not match with the song - you wouldn't wear a chocolate colour shirt on a "gangster" type song. Though the best performance, he got 9th position (out of 9 participants). Strangest.

Yeah!

Once the competition was over, we returned back to our classes. And then our English hour... where Mrs. Bhattacharya discussed everything about each performance. And Ankit Hazara (D.L.B.) had his birthday today.

After that was our computers hours and finally our games hour. Now that I've done magic for some people in school, rumours have started that I can levitate.. got many requests to do that, but I did not.

Its usually a nice idea to let the people think as much as they can... and finally when you show them the magic, they actually believe it themselves and spread the word around so much that you get famous!

Guess I wrote too much today... more tomorrow!
