Recreation: 'AD MAD'

(Lack of content thing XD)...

We have inter-house competitions at our school which help determine the best house in all activities at the end of the year. The first one we had was judged by the Art department. It was about bouquet making for grades 9-10. We lost it (Pragati house of 9c- green). Samya (Yellow) won from our section, theirs was beautiful indeed. 

So now we had to do drama. We had to present a social issue ad. Only 3 or 5 students could form a group but all other members had to contribute. Our house seemed to be the most disinterested one. The Ekta house (Blue) made their group; divided roles and made the script as well, in a few days. We, by then, had done nothing. So ma'am told us and Maitree house (Red) to submit the names of actors and their theme ASAP. Without my consent RDM and Nir submitted my name with theirs along with Divz and DC. Divz was absent for a few days as she was unwell and is also a certified brat. I was angered but then suddenly Cyber Crime struck my mind. When ma'am called our house in recess, I explained to ma'am that we wanted to depict the culmination of a social issue with a promotional advertisement in our dramatization. Ma'am was impressed and agreed to our idea. She said, "I have a lot of expectations from your group as you're the only ones who came and told me the idea straight rather than asking for inputs directly."

We started preparing but I had to do major things. Our Play was on Friday, and on Wednesday, ma'am cancelled Ekta house's script as it was just too much on social issues and like a boring play. We were proud that we ended their career just by our catchy idea LOL! They had to rescript. On that very evening, we had a meet where we instructed Nir to bring a print of our rough draft but he didn't even after reading our messages and commenting on it. I was so agitated to his reaction on Thursday and much more to my agitation, he brought a print for the Maitree house of 9B but couldn't make a freaking effort to bring ours as well, which was more important. As Vedi and I remembered some dialogues, we wrote it in rough and practiced. 

Finally it was D-Day and we were all sent. We knew Divz would ditch us so we had our backup plan ready and casted Khushi! We made the portrayal of problems teenagers face like Pharming, Hacking with Data breach and Impersonation/Identity theft. Nir got little conscious at times due to which I had to add some zing. In our script, humour was needed so we introduced DC as the hacker who pushes Nir being the app persona of an anti-cyber crime app and claims that no one can defeat him, finally ending up in a fight. DC's black hacker-like attire was enough for the endless claps! Then RDM, Khushi and I being the victims of cybercrime gave Nir the shield Kri designed, having a resemblance to our app CYSHIELD and then Nir defeated DC. It represents that the app along with people's help can eliminate such crime. So I went forward and added another tinge of savageness (impromptu) "Now, the hackers would just be limited to YouTube Hacks." The crowd cheered up. Teachers liked our performance but it was that Nir spoke with a low voice, with even the mic being faulty. The Ekta House portrayed bullying with their jingle of bully bully bully please don't bully with everyone wearing perfect dresses those seemingly attracted judges. There might be some bias as well.

Diya also performed with her housemates (Pragati house of 9A) and then came to sit with me, both of us are in the same house! Their topic was Drinking where Diya urged Sho to stop drinking and then the narrator said the disadvantages of drinking include degrading relationships. So we teased her a lot about being Sho's partner and I even told her "Diya, you should've said- Sharab peena chod do Sho!" -dEVdAs

The Ekta House of 9A performed about racism. It showed how people teased a person with dark complexion as blackie. His friend motivated him and the next day he replied to them by saying "I think you guys are good at solving rubik's cube.... Because you know how to separate colours" Now that was something truly sigma!
