Went to JJC's Vaanavil night.
Had really good time! I sound surprised not because I didn't think that they're show would be good. I mean hardly. I didn't have any expectations because I've only ever gone for ONE Ics night and that was only to support a friend, cuz he came to support mine. And when I arrived, already I had a good first impression because there were people in saris and jippas welcoming all the guests(even though I was already half an hour late) all the way to the Lt doorstep.

I was surprised because I was technically alone. So I didn't have anyone to explain all the jokes and information to me(my Tamil is beyond terrible.). I didn't have anyone to make comments about the various things going on with. But I still enjoyed it tremendously! Actually, I shouldn't be so surprised because I have already realised that I can go for shows by myself when I want for The Bridge Project: A Winter's Tale and I enjoyed that too. So yeah.

Also why I had so much of fun, despite somewhat dreading it earlier in the day was because the people there were so friendly! I mean I already have fun with my sister but then I met her friends, and had more fun! They were so nice, even though I was an outsider(technically). See, my sister's the extrovert. I'm the introvert. I'm not a real introvert, I mean I do talk and stuff and I can be quite loud. But I can't really go up to a person and just talk. never have. I literally have to force myself to be social. With people I don't know. So they(the jjc-ians) really made that easier. Some even remembered me from when I came to help with the SYF Indian dance. I mean even though I did all their foundations(like 20 people),and I had to see all of their faces waaaayyy up close and they had to see mine, I really didn't think they'd remember me. But some did! cool right.

This always happens to me, but its a good thing. I tend to dread a particular event, and in the end, I have a great time! Everytime that happens, I always tell myself not th dread anything anymore, but human nature is that we just do, with our pre-conceived notions(here the pre-conceived notions were that I'd feel out of place after the show). What I also liked was that watching the show and seeing everything and everyone working together, really reminded me of Puyal both 2007 and 2008. The fun we had, even though everyone will say that they are glad its over(me too of course), because again, I did have fun then, even though the practices were driving me up the wall, helped my mother nagging about my lateness everyday.

So I guess my lessons learnt are such:
1. no more pre-conceived notions=no more dread
2. not to stress so much about socialising and talking to people(though if I could bring my sister everywhere I would)
3. being alone can sometimes be better


Oh! one more thing. The emcees were great!!!!They worked really well with each other! So far, the best I've seen:)

ciao!
