Bijleee Bola!

Hey readers! I was imagining what it would be like to become our college fest’s mascot! Bijlee-the bulb! It would be so cool. The bright yellow colourful bijlee with a 220watt smile (pun intended). Mr. Bijlee has many reasons to be our mascot. First of all, it spreads light and we as communication students will be spreading the light of knowledge and news through our fest (I am not very certain about this being a reason). Secondly, we have come up with this publicity stunt called “Power-off for an hour” to attract people through social causes. Well, I found it quite ironical to keep our mascot “bijlee-a bulb” and then contradicting ourselves by switching off our mascot. And bulb also being a synonym for dumb fools, we are somehow suggesting that we are as dumb as a bulb. However, since I hardly participate in A-19 meetings (and when I do, I simply remain wordless and not utter a word like an idiot), I should not be critical to those who actually work so hard for it. So anyways, today I was thinking about this bijlee thing and some points struck my mind which I wanted to write about. Hmm.. Well they need to be edited but these are just tentative ideas that could be worked upon and used as a base to build a blog-post in our bijlee blog.
I consider that power-off for an hour will be more of an unbearable nuisance to many to actually appreciate the cause. But we can still get some points by saying, a big star is coming down to share his ‘electrifying personality’ with you and hence you would not be needing power for an hour. The star will be there to illuminate you in his presence and shower the ‘light’ of stardom upon you!!!!
Why will any fan of Rahul Bose have a problem after listening to this rhyme?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Stand on your toes,
And get ready to strike a pose,
Coz here comes Rahul Bose,

You don’t need to get his attention by throwing him a rose,
Just support the cause, Rahul bose chose,
And if you don’t, just blink and there your chance goes.
Then later please don’t come to us with your woes.

And here is another excruciating rhyme. (You don’t have to go through this torture. It is ok if you choose to close my blog now, I would not mind. It is just that I would suddenly develop an inexplicable inability to recognize you and you might just be a victim of few harmless kicks and punches (totally harmless, unless you consider the blue-black marks) but that is all. You know it has no connection to you closing my blog without completing the post. I mean, why would I be offended in such a childish way?!?). Yeah so here goes the rhyme!! I hope you are continuing your read for your own good! (Read it in the tune of the song anjali anjali anjali, china kannmani kanmani kanmani)

Junglee Junglee Junglee
Humara, Bijlee Bijlee Bijlee
Junglee Junglee Junglee
Humara, Bijlee Bijlee Bijlee
Iska mooh gola gola
Isne sabka dimag khola khola
Junglee Junglee Junglee
Humara, Bijlee, Bijlee Bijlee -2
Isko work pressure se hatake zara,
Khidki sabne abhi khola
Junglee Junglee Junglee
Humara Bijlee Bijlee Bijlee -2
Bijlee khush hua hua,
Usne sabko thank you bola
Jungle Junglee Junglee
Humara bijlee bijlee bijlee!!!! -2

Well this was all written a week ago. Today as we were practicing for our street-play for the power-off stunt, somebody told the person enacting our mascot bijlee, “Eh! You are supposed to be Mr. Bijlee and so you can not dance”. I mused that as a matter of fact he could! Why? Babuji zara dheere chalo, bijli khadi yaha bijli khadi!!! And surely that bijli was able to dance!!!!

Hmm… I know: silly thoughts. I have one more to share with you. But somehow didn’t want to include it with other points. So here it is. Basically I saw the movie “luck by chance” today. Suppose, somebody got trapped in a lift during our power-off thingy, he would be saying “Stuck by chance”! ok… not funny, is it? It is perfectly ok if you don’t find it funny. Perhaps a few broken joints will relocate your sense of humour in place. Laugh. Or else I will have to make you laugh. And you definitely know it is unwanted trouble.

P.S. Got the concept clearly today about our mascot. Actually we are'nt switching off our mascot but pleading people to stop misusing our dear mascot the way they do!
