College days

its 6.16 am and its raining outside very pleasant and nice weather, and I am nostalgic, going in flashback, my college days, my first year FYJC was in Ambedkar college, wadala, mumbai. then SYJC was in Kirti college, Dadar, where later Sachin Tendular also joined, then the in FYB.com it was Lala Lajpat Rai, Worli. In this college my dramatics started in a big way, I had done two films already so everyone expected me to participate in all the extra-curricular activities, playing a lady in the fancy dress competition was great fun, I had become instant popular with the crowd, and everyone college knew me after that. and I was sent to kulu manali to participate in the winter festival. and the journey of plays & drama had began. The best part followed and that was a play called " Julus " written by Badal Sarkar, that play Amol Palekar had also done, we got very good response in intercollegiate competitions, and the director of the play Rajesh Gupte thought we should participate in the interstate competition which was held in Nashik, college didn't support that so we went on our expense, there it was a fiasco as two participants got completely drunk, and by the time our entry came one of them came to senses but the other was still out, still started the show with that drunken friend and his line were distributed to other actors, and in the middle of the show that drunken actor entered on stage and we were shocked, one of them took him out, but we still continued the show, the director was so upset that immediately after the show he straight away headed to the bus stand and come back to mumbai, I stayed back as Nashik was my home town, stayed there for a day to see the result, and there the second shock was when our play " Julus " won the first prize, and the funniest part was that the judges thought that the drunken part was a part of the play and thought to be very creative.

With every ones certificate and a huge trophy I immediately headed to college and nobody from the group could believe that the award was real, the drunken friend was a star that day, I would never forget that day in college ,as our group didn't allow any lecture to happen, entire college was celebrating and principle Mr Sheraty who had objected earlier was very proud.
