First of all lets all say this together " Hi Indu, you never did, but rest of your band mates knew about it all the time " :D. So let me take you this wonderful "Indu - the bakra " day. It all started when we got a call from Gurukul Kaangadi Students from Haridwar for the gig that they were organizing in their college. They told us that the prize money is good and around 13 other bands are participating too.Yes it sounded sweet to us and we said yes instantly. We were happy and practicing each day before gig. Three or for days before the gig all of us came to know that the college was a complete boys college and guess who was the one we didn't tell this ? Yes " INDU ".
Indu was in his final year and had a lot of pressure of Projects and presentation, hence he tried to avoid the gigs which gave us less outcome. Going to Haridwar for a gig that is not promising very good money + NOT CO-ED college, was exactly something that Indu would have ignored that time, or what we thought he would have, so we four came up with a plan. Next day we went to Indus place and started telling him tempting lies such as, ' the Girls of Gurukul Kangadi have already started asking about you on face book and we have given your personal contact no. to three girls', next day we will show him some random google girls telling that she is the one who asked for your no. During next two three days we had already pictured Indu's jaw dropped when he comes to know the truth. Best part is that this made Indu practice even harder.
Finally the day came, we took a bus for Haridwar and started another epic journey. Travelling with friends is always fun and with band mates, its even better, especially when every one is indirectly talking about a secret all the time and the one victim cannot understand it at all. Indu tried to keep on laughing along us with a confused look for one and a half hour and that made it even more funny. We reached the college unaware that we were about to get a shock too. The Gurukul Kangadi people came to receive us on the gate and just looking at us instantly they asked, Crystal Heads ?? and we were like ' thats right bro ' then we gave each other the expression which meant " people have started recognizing us bro, fuck yeah ". Trust me on this one, they were really treating us like some celebrity band and it really felt like they are not taking care of any other band at all like us, it was an awesome feeling until one of them told us that we were the only band who showed up and competition has been cancelled. So that was the reason for being treated like kings, like we are the only band, because, we were the only band. Then came that "this sucks" feeling.
We all were depressed, sad, very sad, because like always we needed the money. We didn't even wanted to play that night but we did instead, I ll get there soon, Over this shit someone still had some hope that at least some girls are going to show up to see us play for sure, Yes, It was Indu. After sitting sad for a while he asked us " Dude why cant I see any Girl around, not even female faculties ? Then we gave him the Bomb that the college is not co-ed and Indu went crazy after that. He kept using abusive words for the college repeatedly and relating everything he saw to explain how the college sucked even more. For example, he said " look at that dog, even thats a dog, not a bitch, he would have lived his entire life alone here, this college sucks". Though we were sad about the gig, but watching Indu was fun. Suddenly Indu stood up and said " See what I am going to do ", he started walking with a very angry look, walked towards the food stall where the dinner was suppose to start after an hour, stared at the guy behind the stall and picked up two Papad giving that guy some real gangster look. God, cant tell you how hard we laughed that moment and his words were " I don't care about anything in this college".

Little later the organisers came to us and requested us to play, giving us the liberty of "no time limit, we decided to play since we came so far.
Show started with one opening band from the college itself and the moment we started playing, we got such a good crowd participation that we played for next 45 minutes nonstop.This was the time when O M G was born for us. FYI, "Oh my god" is what they were shouting during mistakes. Gig was great we had dinner and decided to leave. Late night after reaching Haridwar bus depot, we came to know that no bus was available till morning, we were on road again, no cheap hotel was ready to take us in as we were asking for one room only for five of us due to shortage of money, after half an hour of search, we got one room for 400 bucks which had one double bed. All five of us slept through the night and came back to doon in the morning, meanwhile in bus we shaved, one of us brushed and few wore uniforms as we had presentation at 9 am in our college.
To this day we are happy that we played that show, got some real good friends and fans, and over all, Indu was happy by the appreciation he and all of us got.
If not before, we felt like kings after the performance.
Hi, Indu
If you read this then now you know that we knew it days before the gig.
