It was surprising to see that only 10 people from the 2 batches submitted the application of whom only 5 guys (including me) and 1 gal made it :/
Anyways my name was quite in front and i got my prize. I got a second prize for my 92 in Mathematics and to my surprise i got another second prize for my 95 in Physics. I thought that i would have gotten a 1st prize. The sad part is that the min reqd marks for 1st prize this year was 96. The prize was a gold plated timex watch and i am gutted to miss the mark by 1 mark
Anyways i decided to stay and it payed off as “The great Indian laughter challenge”’s Navin Prabhakar was in the house My god the dude is funny. He lit up the entire room. I decided at the last moment not to take my cyber shot, a move i regret now cause its 256 mb memory stick duo could have easily saved the entire 20 min laughing spree I still have most of it recorded on my cell phone. The quality aint that good but still
After a few more prizes were given away there was a magic show where a blade is passed through a girls neck and nothing happens. He asked for a “lovely courageous lady” and people started thinking and i was shouting, call a “god damn boy and i’ll come” Finally the gal behind me nominated herself. After the trick i didnt get a chance to talk to her tho for the last trick the magician wanted a few voulenteers to check out a wooden box and i was up on stage in a flash.
He told me and the other 3 guys with me to check the box.
The basic trick was that a lady would be put in a black bag, tied by us, put in the wooden crate and the crate could be covered by a huge white bag tied by us. I stood and stage and watched the show. When the trick was done and we congratulated the magician i told him “I know how you did it” and he replied “you cant see it from where you were standing” and i replied “i know but i already knew it and hence i checked the way the lady got out of the box and you ended up in it. I have 5 words for you. ‘Magics greatest secrets finally revealed‘” and the magician was shocked
I came down from the stage and met a teacher who congratulated me on my marks. We talked and before i left i said “Sir, do you know how this trick was performed ??”
