My Indelible Memories @ CrAC!!!! (Back to 2004 AD)

Those were the Best days of my life!! Those were the days when I stepped into BITS, Pilani as a 1^st year student, with innocent looks and eyes full of fear and apprehensions.

I heard about a club which is closest to my interests and unknowingly went for auditions. After the auditions, I got into CrAC- Creative Activities Club!! And that was the golden, in fact if there is any other metal more precious than that, like platinum or even precious metal, and then I would call this Academic year, that precious to me. It was that this year (2004-2005) introduced me to a great number of Cracsters who taught me so many new things in life, in fact showed me how to live life King-Size!! I am really in debt to those seniors and this is my tribute to them!!

Let me start with auditions: I was very afraid of the word-“seniors” for some people who belonged to this category have ragged me previously in my bhawan!! I stepped into THE ROOM No. 2204 for the first time on Saturday at 3:00PM (if I remember the correct time and I don’t remember the date). I was welcomed by so many “seniors” who called themselves Cracsters (like lobsters!! Lolz, This is what I thought when I heard this word for the first time). The first one to start speaking was RASAM (this word might look like some south Indian dish: P), a very enthusiastic girl and her enthu levels almost touched the sky always. A very high spirited and it would be better if I call her an ALL-ROUNDER, for she was in almost all the fields, leading and co-coordinating!!J

If I recollect some names of people who were present during my auditions,

1. rasam
2. chary
3. abhishek
4. TejB
5. sneha
6. Vicky
7. surbhi
8. sravani
9. chaps
10. jyothi
11. saathvika
12. And some bong girl... Sorry I don’t remember her nameL, who taught me for the first time how to use an ATM card... J

I was already tensed and they asked me to draw the portrait of abhishek on the black board!! I did that, but the portrait turned out to be like some one else but something in it resembled abhishek. And I was into the club. There started my journey!!

Some days passed and we were made to work on the posters and other things for the coming OASIS, which was completely unknown to me as I was still in my first year. I did some sketches and everyone praised me for my hard and creative work!! Here are few things I like to put in a list rather than explaining:
