The GAJJABB Phenomenon

All our life we have used certain lingos in different phases of our life. We have caught those lingos unaware and later they became a part of our vocab. When i came to this college the coolest lingo was ironically "Cool Hai". Every situation whether good, awesome, bad, pathetic, suicidal was some how referred to as cool hai. But in these three years the cool hai syndrome has slowly detoriated and has been replaced by a more irritating more loud lingo known as "Aree Gajjabb". Yes it sounds cheap and believe me it is cheap. Quoting Arundhati Roy Aree Gajjabb has seeped into the like college vocab. like tea from a teabag. Every instance is followed by a loud harsh chorus of arre gajjabb. They first years are more noticeably affected by this. In the recently organised radio auditions i came to realise that the 1st years actually think of arre gajjabb as the most awesome thing they have come across. Children are so lame when they are in school. Gajjab can be considered as the Hindi translation of the word Miracle. In other words guys in our college have become so lame that the simplest of things appears like a miracle to them. This gajab thing is more irritating bcoz of the variety it comes in. I used to think the slow motion "aaaaaaarrrrreeeeeeee ggaaaaaaaaajjjjjjjjjjjaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbb..........." is the most irritating form till my roomie started using "aree gazaaaa" in a speed of humming bird wing flapping/sec. And he uses this for every sentence i , he or anyone speaks.

"No class today" Aree gazaaaa....

"Ohh.. i lost my purse" Aree gazaaaa....

" I am going to sneeze" Aree gazaaaa....

"..... " Aree gazaaaa.... It torments me after every sentence or moment of silence

The speed with which its eating into our college soon we will have multi linguistic forms of arre gajabb...

some hypothetical examples...:

1. Bengali :- Gojjob to bhai..

2. Punjabi :- Oye Gajjab, gajjab Oye

3. Tamil :- Aiyo Gajjab Da...

4. Gujarati :- Aa to Gajjab Che

5. Tapori :- Aila Gajjab

and as our college goes abroad as we can see this year some truly gajjab public are going to Turkey, Italy.... we will soon have gajjab versions in foreign languages too like :-

1. French :- La Gajjab

2. Russian :- Gajjab Da..

3. American :- Gajjab You, Gajjab You, Gajjab You....

Maybe soon companies will also change there tag lines to suit the gajjab revolution like say.

Intel - Intel outside, Gajjab inside...... Unlike my college people who are gajjab outside, idiot inside.

Idea - gajjab Idea Sirji....

Ohh i am sick of this. people use this phrase more no. of times than they blink their eyelids in a day. Its really sad to see the kind of people who are currently infesting the college with their pathetic gajjab way of thinking.. When will people realise that its ur inner quality and not ur screaming for attention which makes you truly gajjab.

How Xciting can it get??

We in radio nitroz have an excellent track record of involving the college to have some serious fun. Be it last years verve, autofest or rangoli we have always aced it and did brilliant job. So to take this a step further we agreed to make Xcite happening this year. A lot of promises were made to us.. so we reached the arena... here is what i wttnessed for the next three days..

Day 1: No publicity had been done about nitroz conducting the event nor did radio recive any extra help from ppl organinsing such a mega fest. still keeping heads high we walked in the grounds to our corner most stage. A dimly lit, short heighted stage with bad sound systems... ok no problem still we are ready to roll..
minutes into the event and we r told rather rudely that no non registrd collg student is allowd to hav fun.. so just fr sm fun in ur own collg shell out Rs.100... so cheap... but unfortunately we dont make the rules... few more minutes and we art told we cant play music.. no problem if music is booming in other arenas but we cant.. great..
so despite ppl getting a bit bored for all these shortcomings we smwat pull off a good show and end the day a bit dissapointed. For the next day we r promised goodies nd stuff..

Day 2: we still dont recive ne aids nd get a lukewarm response to the event human ludo.. finally we do some nonsense and have a bit of fun deciding to make it grand the third day..

Day 3: track is ready, event all set, goodies ready... nd we geat a huge crowd.. event who dares win starts off with a huge support.. within a few minutes we are asked to cut music and pause for some time as biz quiz prelims are to take place.. so we oblige to the request.. and they start not only the quiz but also dj workshop.. even before the onset of the fest we were told no dj nite will be there so the name got modified to dj workshop and obviously whole collg goes to attend it.. still ok, after all its a collg fest.. i just enquire how long its gonna run.. the answer is 3-3:30 after that we can carry it on upto 4.. so we are a bunch of assholes to wait fr 3 hours doin nothing.. we pack up.... xcite over.

I am not crying foul, not that i didnt expect such assholism but i put college first over personnal disagreements and wanted to make it big... but if the organisers give a damn abt repo of collg nd only thing which matters is the revenue.. i feel it ws my stupidity to get radio into this nd spoil our image...
i've learnd my lesson the hard way.. things are not going to change unless our juniors come up and start working for the college nd nt for showing how awsm they are.. i feel the junior batches might be able to bring in the change.. whats done cant be repaired now , so i wish the junior batches the best of luck and hope they take the college to a level which it truly deserves..
