My way is the high way

MC-we-don't-care-much-about gets on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen... We're here this evening to honour Sayesha on her great achievement. She has lived to tell us the story of yet another semester. Without further ado, I invite Sayesha on the stage."

Thunderous applause from the audience. Cat calls from three of the Chatur Chaar sitting in the first row.

Sayesha appears on stage, dressed in an elegant yet sexy halter-neck black dress.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen..."

Thunderous applause.

The crowd does not let her speak. She pauses for a while to let them recover.

"I'm a happy girl today. And not just because the exam I just wrote had 5 out of 6 questions on blogs and blogging. It is because I'm done with this semester. And I survived it, thanks to the endless support from parents, colleagues, friends and blog-buddies. I am tired, and sleepy, and hungry. The stress of juggling work and studies, deadlines and assignments, studying during lunch hour at work, surviving on four hours of sleep a night, getting by the day purely on adrenalin, it's all over. For at least two months. And at the end of it, I have one thing to say..."

The crowd waits in anticipation.

"Actually there are two ways of saying what I want to say. There's the dignified way... and there's the Sayesha way... Now this may not go with my dress, but I prefer the Sayesha way..."

The crowd is still waiting in anticipation.

Suddenly Shakti Kapoor aka Crime Master Gogo appears on stage.

DHAKKI TIKI DHAKKI TIKI DHAKKI TIKI!

Both break into dance in the middle of the stage. The crowd is a bit taken aback, but enjoying the spectacle nevertheless.

"Pssst... Sayesha!"

Sayesha looks around to see who called her name out. She doesn't see anyone, and goes back to her dancing.

DHAKKI TIKI DHAKKI TIKI DHAKKI TIKI!

"PSSSST!! Sayesha!!" The voice sounds more urgent.

Gogo stops dancing, and looks around.

"Sayesha!" He says. "Excuse me, Sayesha!"

"What is it?" Sayesha glares. "Why have you stopped dancing?"

"I think there's someone looking for you there." He points at the gap between the curtains.

Sayesha can't believe her eyes.

"What on earth are you doing here, Ian????????" Sayesha glares at him angrily.

Ian stumbles onto the stage.

"What am I doing here? What are you doing here?? Why are you doing that ridiculous dance in that beautiful dress?" He hisses.

"I'm celebrating, dammit. My exams are overrrrrrrrrrrr!"

"I know they are over. But don't start taking things too lightly. You still have to work on your thesis. You gotta meet your supervisor every wednesday. Perhaps you should start tomorrow. What do you say?"

Sayesha stops dancing. Gogo stops dancing. MC-we-don't-care-much-about stops the music.

Tension in the crowd.

Looooooong pause.

Then Sayesha speaks.

"Ian, you're right. I do have to say something. Actually there are two ways of saying what I want to say. There's the dignified way... and there's the Sayesha way... Now this may not go with my dress, but I prefer the Sayesha way..."

DHISHOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

Amazed, Gogo looks at Ian, now flat on the floor.

"Baap re! Mogambo ki bhateejee..." Says his thought bubble.

"Gogo ji", says Sayesha. "Take it from the top... one... two... three..."

DHAKKI TIKI DHAKKI TIKI DHAKKI TIKI... :D
