The BEP syndrome

For those who are unaware of this syndrome, BEP syndrome is a complex neurological and psychological disorder in the presence of normal cognition in young adult individuals. The symptoms include highly increased mental performance and spontaneous action. the susceptibility to this syndrome depends upon the individual's taste in music.

It was a sad day for me and Baggy. The Black Eyed Peas were giving a concert in blore and we were not able to go there cause we were stuck up with classes.
"Man this sucks!!!" I said as we entered the class at 7.55 A.M .
As usual the First bench students were missing. It was business law class and that was the only subject everyone loved to bunk. So following my daily schedule, I fell asleep at 8.05 after my name was called out for the attendance.
"Excuse me sir!!!" Came a voice from the back. It was 'miss late comer' , surprisingly she was only 15 mins late. I was dreaming about the concert. "Damn it!!" I thought.

I leaned sideways and whispered it into Baggy's ears,"Do you think we can still make it to the concert?". She looked at me with an "I dunno expression" on her face. Somehow I survived the class. The next hour was supposed to be fun. It was my favorite subject, not coz i loved it (Man!!! i hated it) but the lecturer who was taking the class, Rush-me maam, was really good at her work and she somehow managed to make it interesting. She is not just an amazing lecturer but also a very sweet and understanding person.

She entered the class, read out the names of the students from the attendance register, walked to the board and wrote "BEP".

"WTF" i heard baggy murmer. "Is she a fan too?" Wow the class was getting more and more interesting.
"Break Even Point" said Punch bag aloud.
" wat the F*CKIN Hell is that" I asked Baggy. "I have no idea" She replied.

'Its easy yaar, I ll teach you" Punch bag told me 30 mins later. Though those words were supposed to sound comforting, every single time punch bag told me that something thats meant to be hard to understand, was actually easy, it made me more nervous.
Kutti who was sitting in the 2nd row, turned back and gave a an expression conveying "Its gonna be ok, dont worry".
Then the class continued. Rush-me maam repeated the abbreviation BEP more than 50 times. After the bell rang and she walked out of the class, I stood up and asked," people.... I am going to Blore for the BEP concert, Anyone wanna join???" I got an instant yes from Archie and Baggy.
"Hey the concert is at 7.30 yaar. We ll never make it on time." said Punch bag. " I am not going to sit here and dream about the concert. I don't care if we don't reach on time, but i want to go, U wanna come , please do" said baggy. That was the first time I had seen baggy all set up in a mood to do some mischief. She had never bunked a class in her life nor had she done anything like this ever. She was a free bird now that she was staying at the hostel.

" so what??? shall we go ???" I asked kutti, smiley, Bird and punchbag. Got 3 NOs and one yes from punch bag.

So me and baggy rushed to the hostel, put on some hot outfit and went to the near by city(which was 340 kms far from blore) with archie and punchbag. We checked make my trip.com to see if any flight tickets were available. But unfortunately it was way beyond our budget. So finally we found ourselves standing in front of KSRTC bus.

We just couldn't go back to college. Our own classmates would mock us.
"now what" said archie, "It was your idea na. Lets go to Goa. Lets go anywhere, but not to college. It s gonna be embarrassing... F*ck Man!!"
' I didn't force you to come" i claimed.
"make up your mind, the bus to blore will leave in 5 mins" Said punch bag intervening the fight.
"lets go" said baggy. "but..... " i said goggling at her.

"cmon, move on .... get in" she said and we followed her instructions.

We were in the bus. Last seats. Supposed to be an AC bus, but then where was the dust coming from!!!

We spent hours in that bus discussing about the concert. The tickets were arranged and everything was going to be fine, if we reached there on time.

It was 7.30 P.M and we had not reached blore yet. We were some where in the outskirts. I was gazing dreamily at the passing street lights. It looked beautiful. We were all excited.

Finally we reached the ground where the concert was being held. Baggy, archie and I were not acquainted with the city. So Punch bag had to take the lead. We reached the ground, had a nice time.
The rest is history.

We boarded the bus back to our coll at 11.45 P.M. Reached our college at 10 AM next day. We were so tired and messy. Went to the hostel and took a shower. We had to cut our nails to get rid of the dust accumulated in it.

Finally we met up again near the coffee shop outside the girls block to discuss further plans of dealing with our HOD. We took religious advantage and told the HOD that we had to attend some Pooja. Though he didnt believe that, he didnt punish us either.

Thats it!!! tat was my strangest concert experience.
