Senseless Syndrome

RTFF was good fun. People said it got delayed by an hour but even bad i went there only after the first film got over. Wipro was recruiting in my college that day and i was co-ordinating with the interviewers. It was a total hectic day and things got eased when good friend Boopathi got placed. Lazy geek erstwhile famous blogger who is on a sabbatical was also one of the interviewers. I was not sure when i saw his name (Guru Subramaniam) in the panel but later in the evening i asked if he was a blogger and he was amazed and said people have never identified him before with his blog. Then i said that i used to read his blog and had a few words with him. One other panelist was the coolest guy. He was chatting about java, cricket and lot other things with a few of us and the half an hour was gaiety.

It was 8:30 when i reached home and started to RTFF in a hurry. I somehow figured out Sid’s house in RA puram and the IIT guy Mohan was waiting outside. I called Sagaro and he promptly came down to open the door with a beer bottle in one hand. When i entered the first movie Hard Candy was over and the discussion was going on with Sudhish and Nandu spearheading it. TUD once again tactfully corrected some red bull figures and brought lots of cans and gave me one when i entered. The roof top was excellent and it was “THE” perfect place.

The next movie was Blood simple, the directional debut by Coen brothers(Joel and Ethan). An excellent thriller with a lot of twists and suspenses. Although it was a little dull in the beginning and hard to follow it went on interesting as the story moved. In between the Call center movie , TUD’s “Hi!dad” and few other short flicks were screened.

The third movie was Annie Hall by Woody Allen. Considered one of the best by Allen the movie was filled with humour. I think i missed few parts of the movie and it was the time when i started feeling sleepy. It was also the time when Sagaro’s four hour blank started after 20 shots of vodka, beer and rum.

The final one was That four letter Word by Sudhish. I watched it for the second time and at the end Sudhish also showed some of the deleted scenes and the parts of the previous edition which he shot some 5 years back with Abbas, Ranvir, RJ suchi and others.

The blank:
The best part of the fest which i enjoyed was the four hour blank that happened to Sagaro. He went crazy and didn’t know what he was doing. He blabbered a lot and spoke about how all his crushes are getting married. In the morning (6 AM) he was still high and became generous. He started giving money to people around. At the end he gave away 2000 bucks(to baggy, myself and Sid),we were kind enough and returned it to him later. That evening he called him and i narrated all that happened during the night. It is actually good fun to see drunken people. But still the best was at the Blogcamp beach house party. Nothing can beat that.

The sad part was many people got drunk (including the organizer)and went off to sleep. The spirit inside them killed the spirit of the festival. The next RTFF would sure be more interesting and high spirited( no pun intended)!
