"Nupur’s Party" Into Video Fun!

Diwali/Eid time – everyone is invited to some family friends’ house or the other. We reluctant ‘grown’ up kids are forced to go there with our parents. If our dad’s family friends have a hot son or daughter, we get a little excited. But normally that is never how it is. Anyway we go, enjoy some hearty fake laughs, have some fake, boring conversations and then go home ASAP. Well I was invited to one of these, actually my father was – and as mum wasn’t around I had to go, “to give my dad company”. It was at my dad’s doctor-friends place – a very cool orthopedic doc who has helped fixing my bones many times, and I respect him. He has 2 daughters – one in 9th (I think) and one in 12th.

Anyway, the party began. I was late – you know why. There were 8 girls, one 6th grade boy from our school (who I personally love, but hell how much time can you spend with him?), their parents, and me. 8 girls? Well 8 much younger girls, so NO, its not as exciting as you think it is. Even trying to make conversation gets boring. So as the evening became more and more draggy, everyone was trying to think of something to do. I was just looking at my watch. Then it struck me – I have a bunch of excited girls who will listen to me if we do something fun – that’s it! It’s time to do what we do best – make videos!

“Let’s make a video!” Now that was greeted with great joy. The excitement turned to over-excitement, and finally, I started enjoying. We thought of a story line, and in about 2 hours we finished shooting the video. They had an okay camera and a room which we could use. What else do you need?

The end product:

Okay, okay – the lighting was really bad, the camera resolution isn’t too good. The story-line is really lame and “wannabe” – but hey it was for fun in the end, and we all did have fun that evening, so big shit! I enjoyed making the video. After so long I got a chance to edit a video for fun, and really mess around with it! Also the kids in the video loved it and are well quite thankful – so that’s also cool!

So for a party where my dad said, “Anish you can leave by 10:30 PM”, I ended up leaving at 1:00 AM. 😛

Conclusions: All family friend party’s are not boring. All you need is a camera. Shoot on!

P.S. Happy Diwali and Eid Mubarak to everyone!
