Rain dance @ NITC

Tonight was the tathva '08 cultural night (and yesterday was musical night or maybe vice versa but i don't know for sure and it doesn't matter at all because there is basically no difference between these two concepts at NITC, atleast no tangible one!).
It's been raining lately in here, seems like kind of tryin to make up for all the rain that didn't happen when it was supposed to! So it's been pouring and spoiling evrybody's moods here. Like, so much that day I of tathva, many of the stalls couldn't be put up.
So anyway, chuck that and let's come back to this cultural night I'm talking about. It was at the OAT, of course and I have already talked about it here. So enter like 90 min late, and its like pouring just the way it has been all of tathva. And everyone's seated under umbrellas; I can't come up with a good description of exactly what it was like, but basically, it was a tale of broken umbrellas and wet asses!
Since I wanted neither, we just stood there for sometime (the cultural night had been renamed rain dance @ NITC by then! ;) ), trying to appreciate the music, but sometimes it's really difficult to appreciate things you can't understand at all (I'm referring to malayalam music and us being a long way from it even after more than a year here).
So we set this deadline sort of a thing, 'we'll try just three more songs and if it doesn't get better, we're outta here'. After two songs I was only too glad to be leaving soon but out of nowhere, the third song turned out to be one of my friends' favorites and, to my utter dismay, we were staying.
However slowly the music somehow got better and we have this theory: because we don't understand most of the music and yet we can't afford to get bored there, so whatever the music is, we just dance, for our own entertainment!! So we did just that, and then there was some good music too and ultimately, there finally was a musical night I enjoyed, like truly enjoyed...
