Talk about ‘glitterati’ and ‘literati’ coming together, and we have it for you, the latest news coming your way from the happening campus will surely blow your heads off. I am glad it’s me who will be credited for the vivification of this story for years to come. And I am sure after reading this post most of the agnostics out there will turn into ardent worshippers. (Will be running to planet “APHRODISIACUS” just in case it fails to make an impact, well the name of the planet is quite suggestive of what it has to offer)
Music channels in India have this knack of making the headlines on a regular basis for pulling off some weird stuff but this one is off the charts. The crew of Channel [V] (India), the international music channel of fox entertainment will be setting up a transient camp in Thapar, next semester. What will leave you even more gob smacked is the rationality behind this move. The CEO of [V], Mr. Sudhanshu Sarongwala told us that more than 80% of the registration forms for primarily two of their television show namely “dare to date” and “axe your ex” were filed by students from the college which was recently in news for making it to number 17 in the all India engineering college rankings on yahoo news. (And I thought it is only us who fake on such a large scale) If you go by statistic, on an average in India 3 out of 4 couples split within a year of getting into the relationship but here in thapar the statistics are shocking, 80% fail to make it past two months, 15 % call it off in the same semester and if you happen to be lucky and get to celebrate your first yearly anniversary then you form the elite 0.001%. Let’s not get into stats digging too much because statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. (One of my favorite one liner, had to fit this one, any which way in this post) BTW looking at the potential “Axe you ex” can find in this place, they can easily carry on for a decade more.
If 90% of the people around you use Omegle, and the rest 10% are on 2mingle, loveawake or cupid then rest assured that you are in TU. That’s the level of desperateness which makes the producers of Dare to date believe that even after ruthlessly tormenting the Indian audience for over two years they still have a lot left. “ I am a man on a mission, kids like these make me realize that I need to give a lot back to the society, these people they need me, they expect something from me, We won’t give them Teds , we‘ll give them Barneys. No soul shall walk out the gates of this campus without going out for a date.”, said the enthusiastic director of the show.
We managed to catch this mechanical student in the workshop who apparently was swifter texting on his touch screen phone than on the filthy job at hand. He replied back as if venting out all his years of frustration ,”finally we’ll have an equal opportunity, people will no longer get girls just coz they shared the same subgroup in the first year, IMDB accounts won’t do now, neither those short library teaching sessions with girls. Ab to hum log mauke pe chauka marenge, aane do [V] walo ko.”
The campus was never as jubilated as it is now, the toothed smiles on the boys’ faces is enviable. Even the thought of spotting the denizens from heaven is rattling. They feel that 2 years of hard work and a million bucks has finally paid off. The catchphrase around seems to be, “[V] can surely pull it off”.
