And The Blues goes to…

The Blues fever is catching on; posters are up, danglers swaying gently in the artificial breeze, teasers pouring in. The air is heady with excitement and a strong sense of anticipation. And why not? The big night is just round the corner.

Nominations have been pouring in thick and fast. Minor campaigns were kickstarted by Piyush to garner popular support for candidates of his choice. My guess is that we’ll see more campaigns in the days to follow, once the nominations are with the selection committee.

This will be my first awards function and I’m really looking forward to it. More than anything, I am waiting for the night of the awards. I have heard a great deal about it and now want to see it for myself; smart gentlemen in black and pretty ladies coming together in a riot of colours, a well-illuminated stage, and a big screen showcasing the nominees. That’s The Blues for you.

Nominees will break into smiles when their names are announced. Then a moment of silence, while the next announcement follows: “And the BLUES goes to………”

And that’s not all. Our much awaited offsite will also happen around then. What will it be this time? We have walked over fire, climbed mountains, walked across angry gullies, built bridges over rivers, fought wars, and survived on rationed supplies. What’s left for us to do? Well let me tell you we don’t repeat our offsite activities. So just wait and watch.
