The DCE Muzic Video..(Music)..

I remember that evening very well... two strangers came in akash's room where
akash, varun(P.C) and me were already sitting.. they showed us a slide-show kinda
thing on their laptop.. it was a collection of pictures of our college with a
background song("rockstar" by Nickelback)..
Unaware of their coming proposal we didn't take their stuffs too seriously... Then
one of them started.. Medhavin.. The shorter one with backbrushed hairs.. xplained
what they wanted from us..their dream..
A song for the Music Video..
A video depicting "life at DCE".. We all were surprised at their proposal as the
general notion was that "transit guys are boring".. but these boring guys thought
of something worth..
Though unclear of the entire scene we agreed.. like served with hot rasugulaas..
The next day came Manu.. our transit representative.. come a fellow composer.. come
a heavyweight academic champion..(P.C became a fan.. spot on).. He explained the
whole story..bout that guy who comes to DCE and grows into a man in four years...
Then started the most fundoo job of penning the lyrics and giving tones.. i admit
that we were a bit childish at first..
"ghar se hazaroon..meel door..

... batade mujhe raaste"..

and we're done with the first paragraph..
those random thoughts..those false acting to evoke emotions(for the right words)..
the never ending search for fresh tunes.. everything seemed very special..we felt
no lesser than the famous trio of
Mr Shanker, Mr. Ehsaan nd Mr. Loy.. and at the end of our first sitting the title
was fixed..
"main college aa gaya hoon.."...

that was february 2nd 2007..

the days which followed saw us working very hard like it was our end sem exam.. the
college lectures couldn't see us at all.. compiling the college life in four
concrete paragraphs was not a child's play..(tho we still were vry childish)..
bunking classes became a phenomenon.. returning late at night after practice and
welcomed by Alind's annoyed face(coz i used to wake him up) was not a pleasant
sight!!..
But we managed it..
And finally after a mere 15 days of (A.R) Rehmaning ourselves, we were ready to
give our child the fist take(studio)..
Manu went online.. and we came to know about Soundgardens at Greater Kailash..

Mr. Rahul opened his gates and for the first time we stepped inside a fully
featured recording studio.. Ghossh!!.. It was like.. leave a foolish person inside
an ATM just to enjoy the A.C and the way he behaves...
we surrendered ourselves to the sound engineer for the entire day.. It took a
little more than 12 hours to give the .mp3 format to whatever we created..
and after the CD was handed to us titled
"...main college aa gaya hoon...
by Maksang"..(That's our name..Manu+Akash+Gang).. told ya we're childish..
an unusual feeling passed our nerves.. the joy of creation.. the joy of achieving
something.. not for your own's good but for the rest...
i remember manu nd me singing "hum kiss gali jaah rahe hain"..at our highest
voice..while returning.. in the streets of Greater Kailash and the local guards
giving us a dirty look..(we woke them up!!)..
Then one fine day the video was released... during our "engifest 2007"..
(the creators)..
I'll neva forget those days of second semester..
thank u all..
