The transition from garba (haalo re haalo) to Halloween in the title was smooth as fuck, wasn’t it? Okay maybe I’m not that creative when it comes to giving titles to my articles. But hey, it beats this news channel that decided “Delhi mein facebook ke papa” is a perfectly fine headline to broadcast on national television. Seriously, how high does the editor need to be for him to be like “Aaj kuch toofani karte hai”. But I have to say, whatever drugs he was on, they’ve got to be damn good! On taking a closer look, the news anchor seems to have joined in on the party too, just saying….

So gujarati sunburn ended recently. All the gujjus went ecstatic to spend 9 days with hurting backs, sprained ankles and bruised feet. Garba is no joke for the hardcore players. Whoever said Gujjus are very passive people has clearly not seen a fully dressed gujju on his/her battleground garba playing field. It is a do or die situation in that circle of death. Getting kicked out of the circle constantly because I couldn’t keep up with the steps that were designed to push the body coordination capabilities to its limit with hands here, legs there, genitals flying somewhere, I realised anybody CAN’T dance. Elephant seals fight, peacocks display their feathers and Gujjus play garba. It’s their mating call. Seriously, navratri has gotten the most people laid in India……… after shaadi.com. Seriously, without Navratri we’d just have a bunch of dudes masturbating to, “Taara vina shaam mane, eklu laudu laage….”

We have never had much of a Halloween culture in our country. We don’t celebrate fear, although fear can be a good thing. e.g. Fear of losing all his money is a major factor for a producer to never cast Abhishek Bachchan again. Fear of the law would prevent people from running over people on footpaths. Okay scratch that. There’s no fear if you’re a fucking millionaire with crores of panzies fans supporting you no matter what you do. Anyways, RCBF is organizing a Halloween party today. Do drop in if free. This is going to be my first interaction with the club; let’s see how it goes. Check the details here.

Also, I’ve got a surprise for you guys. Someone in some city of India happened to accidentally come across this blog and liked it. Apparently she liked it so much she invited me to her college festival to write about it. So yes, The Campus Box is in the process of associating with it’s first college festival outside Mumbai!!! Stay tuned tomorrow to see which festival in which city I’m talking about; or don’t. It’s your choice, I’m not going to tell you what to do. But seriously, stay tuned :p
