Here's the deal - you can either listen to Mohd. Rafi's songs in all their sonorous glory (for the people asking "who?", damn your Beibers!) or you can cheer for the Men In Blue, or go mime around. Sunday's fun, no?
We know why you would be wary of this thing they call "Saturday Night fever". It's highly infectious, its effects linger for quite some time, and by the end of it, you might end up being deliriously, dizzyingly happy. Yeah, good luck staying away.
This Saturday, you're going to find yourself trapped within the agonizingly maddening whorls of that eternal, existential question - should I eat my steak or go for a zumba workshop? Well, we know! How about doing both?
There aren't words enough to describe our joy at welcoming Friday. How about we quote Shakespeare? Shall I compare thee to a summ...er...day... no, too boring. How about... "Here's a pint of beer, have fun"?
We agree that a circle is as much a valid figure, as... say, an hourglass. The fun thing about aerobics is that it caters to all figures. Besides, wouldn't it be rejuvenating to attend a music session just after your aerobics class?
Come now, you can't fool us. We know how eagerly you have been waiting for the weekend. And why shouldn't you? There are music concerts, plays, exhibitions, art shows, and the lovely Nandita Das, this side of the week.
It's not the poor guy's fault that he was named after the Weasleys' owl. We're sure that DJ Errol will be quite a hoot (we know, we're evil). You could try some karaoke-ing too, although, try not to hoot.
Oh, you'd rather watch Slinga Malinga sling a mean one at Mahi within the cosy confines of your house, rather than being surrounded by religiously fanatic cricket fans? Yeah, the former option DOES sound boring when we put it like that, doesn't it?
The Beatles are here?! *proceed to emit ear-splitting screams* But, wait... aren't John Lennon and George Harrison already frolicking in music-heaven? Oh, a tribute.. Hey, that's good too! Plus there's beer for company *smiley emoticon*.
Okay, that's no Woodstock (on that thought, R.I.P Jimi Hendrix), but it might still be amazing fun. There's Eagle Riders, and Ben Walsh, and One Nite Stand (a BAND, people, calm down)... what else do you need?
What do you mean by you don't hold with "nautanki"? The art of theatre goes back to Dionysian fests that the ancient Greeks revelled in. Are you saying that you are against Greeks, then? Oh... you want to attend art shows, instead.
ho goes there? Oh, DJ Siddi Baba... what? Siddi "Boy"? Yeah, whatever. So, wassup, eh? What's shaking, what's the word? What do you mean "cool people don't talk like that"? What do they do then? Oh... go clubbing. That sounds right.
So, Parikrama's in town (*plug fingers into our ears*). Good, now that you have stopped screaming your lungs out, there's also a Girish Karnad play being staged at Lamaakan, and art shows as well, if you're interested.
"Mile Sur Mera Tumhara" leaves you all misty-eyed? You're a sucker for anything that spells national integration? Then, you're going to love the food festivals in town. Lassi, kadhi and pesarattu... is your patriotic heart stirred?
After assessing its horrible reputation amongst us mortals, Monday has decided to do some corrective PR work. It has brought along a host of activities by way of reconciliation - exhibitions, food fairs, art shows and plays.
