More than a week of prepartion and it was just for 2 days. Exactly like the times when we prepared for the plays. I remember how taxing it was the first time I did that one. RT, Swati, Ankit, DA and a whole other bunch of people - night and day - we slogged for days together. Dint have a cell-phone then ... scorching sun of Gandhinagar - and roaming aorund in all the buildings just to find the last person - that was very taxing ... but then the thing about it is that it is remembered. Remembered, unlike the final show - which took me into a state of complete numbness and awe - I donot remember of what happened that evening, but I remember each day before that evening.

This was just like that - all the preparation and all the anticipation - all of it taking the backseat till the day actually arrives - you plan and plan but everything goes according to whatever is planned beforehand :) long before even you knew what planning is. The two may be aligned by any angle - ranging from 0 degrees (closest) to 180 degrees (where one just exclaims)!

But whatever it is ... one has to do the best to take the situation - to handle what comes along. And it has to be done with proper discipline and heartedness, with all stones altered. Resembles quite a lot with what a friend says everytime he logs in - "The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret."
