Of extravagant disappointments

One of our younger members, Justforkix, has been put in charge of organizing the much awaited Business School of Rock event, along with the beautiful lady Extravaganza. For years now, BSOR has been the mecca for amateur rock bands across Bangalore and beyond.

This year at Unmaad 2011, BSOR ( http://www.facebook.com/notes.php#!/pages/B-School-of-Rock-2011/177196835640874?v=wall) takes on a whole new life with the German band “Fire on Dawson” headlining the event.

Now, a few words about Justforkix and Extravaganza. Due to an unfortunate combination of youth and extreme naivety, Justforkix has been at the receiving end of many a friendly comment regarding his orientation and intention.

Meanwhile, Extravaganza brings to the village a whiff of sophistication and naivety that closely matches Justforkix’s. Extremely adept at cozying up to people’s moms, she is quite an asset to the judge calling department simply because she can get even famous celebrities to come down for Unmaad just by going behind their backs to convince their moms. Quite recently, she’s rumored to have adopted a 16 year old kid just for kicks.

Together, they make a good team, but as so often happens in such partnerships, one partner gets disappointed when the other one fails to deliver consistently.

So it happened that during a recently conducted events meeting where hard hitting discussions regarding conducting a flash mob dance at a local mall were being held, a tiny voice was heard from amongst the luscious curls of the young lady’s hair, “Err, Tragicomix, if we are going to the trouble of conducting a flash mob dance at the mall, can we also use that opportunity to publicize Unmaad 2011?”

Considering that the entire meeting was about Unmaad publicity anyway, this seemed like a bit of a dampener as far as insightful suggestions went. In fact, the frustrated Tragicomix went so far as to point out that Justforkix seemed to have made a habit out of making useless suggestions that start out with some promise and then fizzle out.

It was then that the frustrated Extravaganza turned to Justforkix and hissed, “And it’s not just your suggestions that fizzle out.”

God save Justforkix.
