TEJAS' DOUBLE-TAKE: ACTING DUMB....Literally!

Today's post is about the much-anticipated DUMB-CHARADES COMPETITION held in the green shed in
the last 3 periods today.And you get it all, straight from the horse's(in this case, winner's!!!)
mouth...

Names were volunteered during the first House Meetings weeks back.These were followed by eliminations within the houses which the led to these teams for today:

ANGRE: Sanchit Karve(XII B), Sourabh Giri(XII B), Siddharth (X)
ASVINI:Chitwan Bedi (XI A), Pratik Nagaraj (XII A), Savyasachi Sahai (XII A)
KUNJALI: Abhinav Sharma (XII B), Rahul Panse (XII B), Tejas Yadav (XII A)
TRATA: Aditya Kaushik (XII B), Anindya Basarkod (XII A), Vipul



Practices had begun a couple of weeks back with each House-team hijacking varied possible
locations: Asvini used Computer Lab, Trata also used the other Computer Lab, Angre utilised the physics lab (majorly) and Kunjali restrained to Biology lab.All weird and original symbols and intricate codes were cooked up...for the most unimaginable possibilites.
Since most of the participants were from Class XII (check above), it was planned that only the
three sections of class XII would be witness to the non-verbal match.But generously, even class
XI was allowed audience.I believe all House Mistresses were also present.And minutes after the
long break, it began...

6 rounds- 2 minutes per act - Lot of jitters - and even more excitement.Without fear of
criticism, I can frankly state that the top favourites were the ASVINI team.

Round I was Hindi movies.Pakeeza, Sultanat, Majboor and Pinjar were the clues.Most teams picked up 10 points.Kunjali grabbed a bonus 5 for pass-on.
Round II was Books.Canterbury Tales, Crime and Punishment, Pickwick Papers were some of the books.Asvini took an amazing 2-3 seconds to guess!!!

Round III was Proverbs."Penny wise & pound foolish", "A bird in hand is better than 2 in the
bush", "Imitation is the best form of flattery" and "All work no play makes Jack a dull boy" were the clues.Asvini picked up a bonus 5 from Angre's loss and Kunjali secured 5( thanks to teacher
discretion).
Round IV was English movies.The Day After Tomorrow, Where Eagles Dare were some of them.The Trata player misread his clue...leading to a baffling confusion amongst all teams.Trata lost out carelessly.

Round v was Celebrities.Shobhaa De, Bismillah Khan, Naomi Campbell and Jeniffer Lopez were the clues.Naomi Campbell vexed Asvini till the last 4 seconds while JLo was a 5-7 seconds hit for Angre!!
Round VI was Mixed Bag.A notable mention of Angre's guessing "Maggie Tomato Sauce" and Asvini's "Malai Kofta Curry" is a must.Kunjali got a simpe "Calender".




KUNJALI, which'd been leading in all the rounds and guessed all clues except the proverb-falter, won with ASVINI just 5 points behind.Third was TRATA and lastly ANGRE.And a lil' secret for you guys...the Kunjali and Asvini teams were treated by the House teachers
afterwards at the CANTEEN!!!

For Kunjali, it was the first victory of the year...and many more to come.For those who won, CONGRATULATIONS; for those who didn't IT IS JUST A GAME and for the
others...remember, PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL.

Always play with humility, integrity, confidence and honesty---NO ONE CAN STOP YOU!
