That was our theme for the
Inter-College Fashion Show Competition for Regale’13. We represented Navodaya
college of Physiotherapy.

| Show Opener: Angel Amy |
My senior girls from Mizoram
really put in their dedicated hard work. They spent sleepless nights and
tiresome days in making wings of the angels. I saw them working tirelessly
throughout the days. They went to market to purchase the things, and came back to
classroom and designed everything with their skillful hands. Their skills
fascinated me endless. And, I found the reason to appreciate their sacrifices. They
worked for it, when all went for lunch. So, I coordinated from the boy’s side. It
was frustrating when my friends failed to assemble as desired. Yet, we laughed
and worked hard when we gathered together.
Late night practice on the
auditorium, waiting patiently for our turn to come (as all colleges come to the
same auditorium for the practice), evening walks to hostel after practice,
hilarious laughter after the mistakes made by friends while practicing, tough
time we had in adjusting timing of the music and tolerant wait for all of our
friends to gather on the venue are the best memories of the Fashion show.

We had tough time convincing
Norbu not smile on ramp work. And, trained his partner Ruati at last two days
to do it best. They did meticulously awesome at stage. Tobden, walked tall and
perfect with skeleton painted on his top, and Rupa, the flower angel, did
gigantic cat walk. They walked fantastic. Danish, tallest guy of our college,
despite little confusion did marvelous walk with the tallest girl of our
college, Ranjita, who is born model. They performed wonderful. Penjore, did all
sincerely and honestly, and Asangi, walked confidently and resembled an angel
with spider cobwebs on her wings. They did splendidly. Lalliantluanga, cool and
serious, quite shy at practice hours did majestic walk with butterfly angel,
Hlimi, who is fairly tall with rhythmic walking pattern. They did amazing job. Rubin,
all rounder, perfected ramp walk with wonderful performance, and his partner,
Betsabi, quite meek, rocked the show with confident walk. They walked brilliantly.
And, my partner, Amoii, the peahen angel, decorated with beautiful feather of
peahen, walked so dashing, and cheered the show to the fullest.

And the show opener was the real
angel, Amy, dressed in white, decorated with white wings symbolize the purity
of an angel. She opened the show with endless applause of the audience and
their response was the source of inspiration for all of us.
We performed our best. Again, we
had hard question and answering session with judges at the end of our show. Following
are the some of the answers to the questions of judges.
“We made girls as the angel
because they are sweet and caring…….”
“And boys as devil because all
the terrorists in the world are boys….”
“This is an era of devils because
most of the destructions are happing in this era….”
“We, as a youth, would like to
change this era of devil into the era of angel. We dream, and we would work
hard to achieve this dream…..”
And we dissolved into the backstage
with the applause echoing in our ears. We felt so wonderful, yet, we waited
with anxiety for judges to announce our results.
And, came Avinash sir running to
our classroom along with Principal sir and Kowshik sir and shouted loudly:
“We got second prize…” As soon as
he announced it, all of us surrounded him with screams and expression of our
joy on top of our voice. We celebrated the moment, wonderful moment ever in the
college. I really found profound meaning in Regale’13.
Now, we are so excited to perform
our Fashion show in Reglae’13 which would be attended by distinguished guests
on coming week.
PS: I forgot to mention about our designers: Firstly, Jenny, who helped us in make-up, otherwise most of us would be a raw vegetables, and importantly I will not forget how hardly you pressed your kajol pencil on my tender eyelids. For a while I just wanted to run off and never return to you. And Christina, who decorated my eyes making it more devil, for sometimes, I felt she would even decorate my inner eye's lenses also. Thank god! she spared me after I could no more open my eyes. Zuali, she painted my lips with black color where I expected that she would paint with rosy red color. Thank you all for your efforts, you all made our angels more beautiful, and devil more devil. Without your assistance we could not have been able to do ramp walk.
