The following piece was written for the techfest magazine that i edit..
The content will be largely unintelligible to anyone who isn't privy to the inside jokes of the pragyan organisation team
I'm adding it here for the sole reason that i'm insanely kicked about the fact that i wrote Something..Anything .. after months and months of trying to do so and failing miserably.. so cheers to me :)

As someone who has been deeply involved in three years of organizing Pragyan, I can confidently say that I’ve seen it all. Been there, done that and regretted it for days after ..the whole gig..
And the years of dealing with the truly stupid, stupidly annoying, annoyingly sincere, sincerely intense, intensely dangerous and very rarely the absolutely trustworthy would’ve taught Anyone not to go digging into the behind-the-scenes stories of Pragyan. But one very insistent Mr.Reportuh McSkeeter repeatedly nagged us till we (my unnamed uncredited minions and I) compiled a report of the ‘Real People’ behind Pragyan 09.
So we set about compiling a report about the Pragyan Fellowship
You’ve all heard of The Fellowship? The nine who set out on a noble task blah blah? No? well you just did.
The first of the nine is...
Presiman Chairman – The boromir equivalent in temperament. Widly passionate- to the extent of maniacal devotion. Known for his heroic organizational, bartering and cow-chasing skills
then, Opiatus Asapus Max – The do-er of the group. Survives without food, water, sleep and social contact for days on end going purely on nicotine, verbal venting and pragyan-work.
his friend VeryTall ‘treasure’ Tangdi – volatile, organized and stubbornly passionate. Mortals tiptoe around in terror of his righteous wrath but he's indispensable for his solid good taste.
Techgeekus nearEvilus- who’s the technical backbone of the whole operation. Give him a computer and he can do anything you want him to do ( and don’t want him to do)
Qaotic Genie-us - the Nice guy of the group..our very own Pragyan fairy godfather with more than a few magic tricks up his sleeve. The only one who does all his work and still has time to do others' too.
Dev D'Money - deceptively docile-looking, this dedicated dude, whose puppy-dog eyes and convincing skills have blackmailed many of us into doing things we wouldnt do normally.
PRimus Abscondix - the description will be a lot like one of those rare bird docus on national geographic - the much-heard-of but rarely seen.. and so on ..
Biatchus Awesomus - Not much is known about this person except through hearsay. And even there we only heard muttered words like.. &^% ... *^&%$ ... absolutely nuts .. gives me too much work.. her?where?! let's run!
and for those who bother to count and are wondering where the ninth fellowship member is.. well..we asked too.. all we got was a vague,official statement about an unfortunate accident involving an ill-timed pragyan meeting, the clc zoo animals and loads of tomato ketchup..
