After my school held this huge cultural event last weekend I finally understood how much manpower, money and effort goes into holding an event which can be enjoyed by its participants. There is a certain pride which goes into wearing an organizer's badge and ordering those around you. You get to interact with various people. Some are nice and cooperative, while, others are just pains in the back sides. You meet lots of wonderful people and sometimes you're left wondering whether you'll ever meet them again. Then there are those friends you see after ages (Lupine Writer included) and also those stalkers you've been avoiding. But, in the enthusiasm of arranging for judges for your event or making sure you have all the registration forms just right you forget all your worries and just end up enjoying. The joy of watching someone in your event succeed (trust me I know how hard it is to build a running robot or paint on a shirt which keeps rolling up) makes the pain in your legs worthwhile. If you're lucky some talented photographer would have captured your look of excitement or joy or the look of wonder as you watch an amazing performance of dance or singing. The food stalls are always something to look forward to. Especially when someone else is ready to pay for you. (:D) The added benefit of a stall where you can get your nails done for free just to remind you of the girly side. So whether you're watching Battle of the Bands or Adzap there is always something new to enjoy (unless its the millionth time someone is playing Boulevard of Broken Dreams). So as your voice goes hoarse cheering for the competitors of the Ultimate Venture there is always something to smile about remembering that all the winners get to take home a piece of your art in the form of their certificates. Finally, when all is said and done, all the pictures taken, cakes cut and organizers cheered on, there is that moment when you hear thunder and it starts to rain and you know that it has been a perfect weekend!
