Hit Parade
My take on why Musings'06 is gonna be the best one till date.
First there is a fine mix of experience (one 4th yr guy, three 3rd yrs.) and in-experience (four 2nd years.) The zine team can now draw a parallel with the Indian cricket team.
No. of team members=8
2006=2+6+0+0=8
8 is Saturn’s ruling number which signifies hard work and assured results.
(That's the amateur numerologist in me speaking.)
Our crusade drives home the point, “Read the writing on the wall..Musings’06 is in your face. Lump it or like you have got to have it. You man run but you cannot hide. If you are creative we will smoke ye fellas out.” this time around we have extended the range of topics to draw in more participation from the mango people (aam junta.)Mgit is finally waking up....phew (our shout fests and visual bombardment have served their purpose very well.)Now-a-days the 'zine' team is being mobbed in corridors and the canteen by eager contributors (Personally I never expected pretty girls [shying and contemplating like in the movies] to come up to me and ask about the deadlines, progress and trivia ;-))
The mood is upbeat; fun, frolic and creativity is in the air.. Need I say more???
Know The M'06 Team:::
Ravi Shankar : Director, Top Dog
(Techno geek, Jai Shree Metallica, Anna, Sarkar, Tornado, Jazzy)
'Anna' has been on the edi board for the last 3 years. In his capacity as Chief Executive Designer (C.E.D) he built a complete new team from scratch which made its mark with Musings'05. This being his final outing as the design 'Sarkaar' will see some of his very best designs surface in Musings'06 (Tornado always saves the best for the last.)
The campaigning posters designed by him for M'06 have already become quite a rage (guys going gaga n gals swooning by just Ek Jhalak) with everyone including scavengers giving them a dekho.
He is the benchmark for visual design and imagery whose perfection and quality of work the future generations of designers will try to achieve. ‘Jazzy’ brings with him a truckload of experience and most importantly diplomatic ties (read good relations with different departments.)He is like an iron fist in a velvet glove. Soft, unassuming and calm on the outside and rock solid inside.
Siddharth: Seneschal Honcho
(Gandalf, Attitude Bhai, Charging Bull, Beast Man, Joker, The One)
'Attitude Bhai' believes in wearing his state of mind on his t-shirts. Deeply obsessed with the mag this year to make up for the laziness and procrastination of last year (he has exorcised the demons of the past) the 'Charging Bull' is on an all time creative high (thanks to Bejan Daruwalla) with a few un occasional mental voids Beast Man's creative shockers are charging up the atmosphere in camp M'06.Creative ideas seem to strike him at the most unexpected moments like when in the loo! or sweating it out on some mechanics problem. 'Joker' is trying his hand at sketching also this year to contribute to the mag in more than one way. Beast man’s only hobby these days is screwing up the rest of the edi board by threatening to blast them online. His favorite word these days is 'balls'. Anyone who tries to foray into his territory gets balled. Rahul Dravid is his idol and he’s trying to emulate ‘The Wall’s’ example of leading from the front. Expect kick ass content from 'The One' this year.
Kay Kalpana: Chancellor, Honcho
(Dainty Damsel, Mystik Moon, Flying Cobra, Philosopher, In Ankhon Ki Masti Mein)
'Dainty Damsel' has undergone a sea of change from last year. Last time she was this restless soul completely into the mag but now a 'thanda' player now and didn’t loose her cool during campaigning this time (how people mature with the times.) She has overcome her complacent attitude and is forging ahead with full steam.
'Philosopher' thinks deep thoughts and it's always up to the others to keep guessing what those big round eyes are trying to convey. Though soft and well behaved 'Flying Cobra' is capable of furious rage also. 'Mystik Moon' has also spruced up her computer skills very well and now has a very big network spanning many colleges and countries. And she has also started blogging (a welcome sign) for the first time so we'll come to know more about her deep introverted beautiful thoughts.
PS: Sid n Kal can't stop bickering at each other. When the Beast Man' and the 'Dainty Damsel' take sides on an issue it's nothing less than a fireworks display. Arguments and counters follow thick and fast. The 'Charging Bull' is aggressive but 'Flying Cobra' is sensible. Finally no conclusion crops up at the end of the big fight n it's up to the moderators (edi board) to chillax things. But none will agree with the other's point without a sound explanation.
Now for the new kids on the block:::
Triveni: Commanding officer, Top Banana
(Trinity, Sant, Chillax, Analyst, Abstract Artist)
'Trinity' adds new dimension to the edi board this year with her analytical n logical skills. She was the most likely choice when the need for an exclusive Telugu editor cropped up. 'Sant' writes profound poems which few people with extraordinary acumen (the Zine team) can truly comprehend. She is a 'chillax' candidate with a soft voice which often gets lost in an argument. This 'Abstract Artist' can come up with sketches in a jiffy and has the magnet like ability to draw people into her aura. She is the only member on the board who has not screwed up her internals and attendance percentages. And she always cribs about me (in good sense)....but all the females on da edi board generally seem to pickup an argument with me..dunno why?
Aditya Narayanan: Prince
(Quicksilver,I'm a Rebel,Tamil Thambi,Mard,Fully Blooded Mgitian)
Quicky is this extemporaneous natural guy who has his hand in every 'happening' thing in college (Nirvana, Musings, Retreat, IEEE, ISTE, Forums.)
A born genius at getting work done using the most unimaginable means (poor juniors).His proclamation of "I'm a rebel" has won him applauses and brickbats alike. But is he is never the one to give up and always bounces back after a dry spell. 'Tamil Thambi' freaks out at any 'mass Metallica' number just like Mr.Techno. A bit tightening up of his loose tongue which hurls fireballs at the drop of a hat would be very much appreciated. Recently out of his mental deadlock he is raring to go. 'Mard' has the ability to cheer up anyone with his whacky sense of humor and kickass attitude. Juniors fear him and seniors go gaga over him. The coming days will see 'The Fully Blooded Mgitian' (He refuses to have any Musings in paraya desam) face the ultimate test of persistence and guts.
Chetan Kumar: Dictator
(Shaitan, Makda, Shammer, Jhonny English, Mawali)
Shaitan finally made it to the edi board this year after a jinxed attempt last year. Always high on ideas and enthu 'Makda' always makes his presence felt with his absence. This guy is a born 'Shammer' with remarkable abilities. 'Mawali' just can't seem to control a particular expletive in his speech. He brings with him some experience as the editor of his school mag. Shaitan wants to leave his chaap on M'o6 so he has started thinking out of the box which is a good omen.
'Jhonny English' has been assigned the task of editing the countless (pun intended!) hindi articles which are expected to drop in this year. So as a build up to this mammoth task he has been spotted deeply engrossed in a copy of 'Manak Hindi Vyakaran Pustkika' leading to curious glances and stares. Balls to stares is his reply.
Spurthi:Skipper
(Miss.Con, Spitfire, Jassi, Hot head, Tigress)
Miss.Con is kinda da face of M'06.She has been able to draw good responses from the not-fairer sex due to her stage persona and ever-growing fan following.
Public relations are her forte. ‘Spitfire' used to be a firebrand babe in her 1st year (poor guys we seniors) but has now cooled down a bit now as she hit her stride.
A big fan of Sourav Ganguly she hopes n fervently prays to see 'dada' return to his past lost glory. Still the rookie now she is learning the ropes. Watch out for this hot headed tigress on the prowl in the coming weeks as countdown to M'06 begins.
Shiva Aditya: Autocrat
(Shiv Cartik{courtesy miss.con}, Firstee, Casanova, Inspector Gadget, Blue eyed boy)
Shiv Cartik oops Shiva Aditya is one 'cool' player. This (M'06) is his first big thing in college. He loves anything on wheels. Cartik n Gandalf share the same passion for red hot cars n drop dead gorgeous bikes. Mr. Casanova has girls swooning on the mere mention of his name (he has been asked to put this special ability of his to get more contributions from the fairer sex;-s)
'Firstee' has an awesome experience working on flash fireworks and is learning the ropes of Photoshop very fast. Inspector Gadget is ready to engage N-cage anyone anywhere. He's currently on an undercover mission to IIT-Madras to woo intellectual girls there and discover the source of IIT's deep pockets.
'Blue Eyed Boy' has bonded thick and fast with the rest of the edi board very fast and very well. 'Firstee' has some very useful tit-bits to offer and has a large network of associates. A very fruitful experience lies ahead for this dude under the able guidance of the senior members.
So, M'06 has all the required ingredients (Attitude,Creativity,style,Fun,Frolic,Jest,verve,Vigor,Experience,Network,Computing Power, Literary backing) to become a successful potboiler.
Salaam Namaste....Sid
