And the show went on …….

“Love may fail…. Suspense could kill … lies may not last …. But …. The show must go on …”True …. I mean VERY true …. Love did fail … (provided that you agree that “love” can not only exist between a man and a woman!!!- ask Iqraas) … suspense did kill (if watched Don Perlimplin then you’ll know) and lies REALLY did not last (ask Kumi for more info on this one!!!) but the show went on….. Whoever came up with this tag line BRAVO!!! (I still don’t think Chandu is intellectual enough to come up with something like this …!)…Overall “Spectacular Spectacular” really was Spectacular Spectacular …. REALLY!!! ( At least for me!!!) … If you were wondering why this is called “Spectacular Spectacular” as opposed to being only “spectacular”... it is cuz half of us in the casts are so-called “tube lights”… I’m talking with authority as the president of the Tube Lights Association (also known as the T.L.A)… before Minidu proved himself to be a bigger tube light than I am that is … (I hate you… Minidu … for stealing the presidency from me!!!) …so ya … that’s why it’s repeated … repetition does have an effect …During spectacular ….everything that could go wrong went wrong… Directors came and went …. People quit (including myself ..!!!) and some of us came back (ask Naveen for more info … cuz just for the record he did it thrice !!! I mean … quitting and coming back!)… So ya.. Things went wrong … and more things did too … I mean…some of us forgot our lines … some of us forgot where to keep which box … but the show went go on … Starting to study the lines before a couple of hours for the show (that too for the lead)…. Making the performance the first ever run through ….. Ending up creating a completely different story to that in the script … painting the set till 6 a clock in the show morning …. Self-makeuping ….you name it … we had it! So yeah .. had loads of fun … and I’m sure I’ll miss all you guys .. Whether they are Chalana’s Lapis Lazulis or … Vishan’s squatting pans and Kumi’s tear drops Iqraas’ g*y fantasies or Lakmins baby talks, Naveens “my father was a bank robber…” Waqars baywatch pants …. Lahirus opadupa talks.. Minidu’s “how absurrrrrrrrrrrrdzzz” Chandu’s slaps …. Shopping with Amaz at McD…. Baasits “Tikiri Lama Ginum” Chariths “Pion talk”…. Sandy’s limejuice , Pulasthi’s “you see jules’”, Janith’s Kyle meetings, Aravinda’s peeing in the pool, Isuru’s “jol butts” , Pavan “I WANT SOME NOW’S”, Tharaka’s “pahak deepans”, Kithmin’s “saving the day by vomitting” or Dinuk’s “noodle” … would have missed a lot if even one of you guys weren’t there …Whatever said and done … what matters at the end of the day is the bigger picture … the fact that a bunch a kids … most of whom were amateurs for drama … managed to pull off something on their own … self directed, self makeuped , self financed , self publicized … and the list goes on …Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day.....
