-DE’ RETOUR
ANCHORING SCRIPT
Good evening ladies and gentlemen! We welcome dignitaries, distinguished
guests, faculty members and our friends to the cultural evening of Zestopus,
the annual festival of the college of architecture, SVIT Vasad. Zestopus is…. .
This year our theme is De’ Retour that takes us on a backward journey in time
through years
We are immensely blessed to have Dr. Shishir Raval here with us as our
honorable guest for the evening. We do have a great sense of admiration and
appreciation for your work and achievements. We request Dr. Shishir Raval
and our principal Ar. Sailesh Nair to please come up on stage for our
traditional and auspicious lamp lighting ceremony.
[Dr. Raval comes up and proceeds with lamp lighting]
Dr. Raval and Nair Sir please take your seat on the dais.
[They proceed to take their seats]
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His
disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts. Let us never
forget to pray and with that in mind, here’s a soulful prayer to invoke the Gods
and ask for their blessings.
[Prayer song]
I would now request Dr. Shishir Raval to come up to the podium and grace us
with a few words of knowledge.
[Guest comes up and delivers speech]
Thank you, Dr. Raval for your wonderful remarks.
I request our respected/beloved principal to step up to the podium and
deliver the opening remarks.
[Nair sir delivers his speech]
Thank you, sir. We are really fortunate to have your support and guidance with
us.
A dream becomes a goal when action is taken towards its achievement. The
Annual Prize Distribution 2015-2016 ceremony is an occasion to acclaim the
achievements of our friends who have attained excellence in academic and co-
curricular spheres through their dedicated efforts and perseverance. I request
Dr. Shishir Raval to please come and felicitate our students for their
achievements.

INTRO FOR ALL ERAS
P1: Maine tumhe ate hue dekha… tum auto mein kyu ae?
P2: Well, I don’t have a Volkswagen. Thus, auto.
P1: Agar mujhe pata hota tum esa answer doge toh main tum se yeh question
nai puchhti.
P2: but on a serious note, kabhi kabhi I wish that I could go back in time.
P1: Then it's settled. That's what we'll do (or tara mate avu gaanda!) but first
___________ ek photo lena mera, fb pe dalunga aur caption 'mah life, mah rulez'.
P2: Tumhari maa k 15 missed calls a chuke h ab tak, baat ki unse?
P1: Kya baat kar rahi h! mar gaya!!
P2: Huh!! Mah life mah rules… humare generation ki yahi problem h, badi badi
baatein karenge jaise 'I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me'. Yeh
wohi log hote h jinke bathroom mein agar ek spider dikh jae toh ek hafte tak
nahate nai h.
P1: ek minute, ek minute, esa nai h. apne generation ki kai achhi qualities bhi
h.
P2: jaise kya?
P1: demo dikhau?
P2: dikha.
P1: Presenting the first and very happening modern era!
[Modern slot performances]
P3: That definitely restored my confidence in our generation! But yaar kuch
issues h abhi bhi latest technologies mein. Like every time I type a message,
my phone's autocorrect turns it into something so weird that I'm like, bhai tu
hi likh le, tu zyada hoshiyaar h!
P4: pehle achha tha nai? Jab phones nai hote the. Peple used to write letters
and send telegrams. Aur angrezon k zamane k jailers hua karte the…
P3: haan par us zamane mein unhe sirf jailer bolte honge…
P4: toh chalo ab us zamane ki ek jhalak dekhte h.
[Medieval slot performances]
P2: those were fantastic performances, medieval era must have been quite
remarkable.
P1: I once let my mind wonder, I don’t think it ever came back because Im
young enough to know I can, old enough to know I shouldn’t but stupid
enough to do it anyway.
Or
P1: Kal mai apne neighbor ki beti k saath thi and she said that I'm ugly and I
told her that I'm you from the future (and that when she grows up, she will
look just like me), she cried for like 30 minutes.
Or
P1: hey don’t you think balloons are weird, happy bhirthday! Here's a plastic
sack of my breath
Or
P1: what happened?
P2: cutter se cut gaya.
P1: apni watch us haath mein pehen lo. Time heals everything.
P2: wow! You know this is getting recorded right?
P1: purana zamana achha tha, wo bhi stupid cheezen karte honge. But they
didn’t have twitter, facebook, youtube. So they could be dumb and stupid but
in private.
P2: yeah, good old times. Lets bring it back to life with the gripping
performances lined up ahead.
