preparing for nda ball
Hi! i was trained at the NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY... the premier military institution of the world. well our training is of 3 yrs.. ie- six semesters. during the end of the last semester.. the cadets of the passing out course are treated to a marvellous event called the NDA Ball... well its a once in a lifetime thing... A CELESTIAL UNION OF INFINTE POWER AND MYSTIC BEAUTY... thats what they call it in Pune.
well in this event, the cadets are allowed to get their beautiful ball partners to the academy, for the first time.. for an evening of dance, gr8 food and lots of fun. well the preparations for the nda ball for a cadet start as soon as he enters his 6th term. he starts making plans on how to gather all his guts and go and approach a girl in pune. well its not just in the mind but the art is well rehearsed.. with some of the juniors of course. all the possible ways are tried. all the possible replies are gone through... all contingencies catered for. it needs a lot of practice and eats up all the free time.
after a sixth termer has proposed all his juniors and after they approve of his charm(which they have to neway) he is ready to try his skill in the real world. he puts in a lot of effort to pass all his tests , clear all his punishments to get a liberty to be allowed to proceed to pune. the turnout is prepared meticulously... that is the shirt and trouser are washed properly, ironed so well that u cud cut ur finger if u ran it along the crease, his shoes are polished so well that he can see his own face in them. after spending half an hour in the bath and after finishing half a bottle of perfume and with hair well groomed.. gelled and all... our 6th termer is ready to go on liberty.
well damn tired after his long run in the morning.. he sleeps all through the bus journey to pune, which is about an hour. now on reaching pune, his stomach is calling out loudly to him... in his hunger he 4gets wat he actually came here for... he rushes into the nearest food joint to satisfy himself.. afterall .. he lives to eat. now he is in a mood to watch a movie.. the girls all out of his mind.... goes to hall , and sleeps through the songs in the movie.. but if u ask him, he has enjoyed the movie.
now with the sun setting.. and the time of his liberty drawing to an end... he is suddenly reminded of his mission. he proceeds to mg road... praying on the way. he sees a beautiful girl coming his way... he looks here and there.. damn there are beauties everywhere... but maintaining his sense of direction he sticks to the one in front... gathering all the will power he tells himself that its all mental... he draws strength from the knowledge of him having practised. but shit!! he's forgotten all his lines... but still he confronts the girl... who is there with friend of her... he goes to her.. smiles and... and.. thats all he does.. now the girl gets scared bcoz they all are smiling at her...
hey didn't i tell u... that was rule no. 1 he never goes out alone... but in packs of 4 or 5or even more... wondering y the girl ran away... seeing 5 or 6 smilimg guys... he blames her and say that pune is still a backward city...
the process repeats itself... well but there is an interesting end to the story...
that and more in the next blog...
hey dont think that the same happened to me.. m special...
my story in the next blog..........
