The Grand Fiesta

This was the Annual Fete organized at Loria on 25th July 2004. In the beginning there were a few games where we did not participate but made fun of the french dumbos breaking their heads over simple problems. Then Stephan guided us towards the other building where the lunch had been laid out. It was a kilometre long walk and when we reached there Deka exclaimed "Ori baap re, itna door aana paadta hai laanch ke liye log to thaak hi jaata hoga."

The first ___ was of champagne ... with mirabelle fruit and alcohol

Rishi urf Pussad

A character which made our minds swirl as to why did everything always have to happen with him. Here is a list of events which made us realise that something was utterly-butterly wrong !!! We didn't notice it initially but slowly and slowly the picture started becoming clear (like we start seeing miracles of a priest). Let's begin with Ilina ! It all started with cookies .... Rishi had brought laddoos and coincidentally a sweet girl in the hostel liked them. She ate a few and Rishi thought that it was enough of a hint. He asked her for a date thrice and was turned down always. He did not lose hope and his next target was Emilie Balland. The results came out sooner here ... The second Hi got a meagre response and the third Hi went unheard.

When Rishi went to Strasbourg his card did not work in the ticket machine. His card again got stuck in Nancy and one day in the bank his card was blocked ... booooooommmmm !!!!! He himself told us that the first phone card he had taken lasted only for 4 minutes (though it is meant to be 54 minutes).

Well the first major show of bad luck was while going to Amsterdam. I, Saurabh and Rizi had done our reservations later but we got our tickets. And Rishi and others were told that their booking was not there. After much effort and repayment of 59 euros per person, new tickets were made (the 39 euros paid earlier has not come back as yet).

Then at Madam Tussad, Rishi and gang went at 15 euros and I and gang went at 10 euros.
