VH1 Hip Hop Heckles

This is a story about two very beautiful women (Anuya and Akshata, if you must know) getting very, very pissed off. It all starts with an invitation to the Vh1 Hip Hop Hustle at Enigma on a Wednesday night, where Flipsyde are supposed to play. The two lovely ladies excitedly dress up in their Sunday best; looking forward to writing just how bad Flipsyde was, in that revered youth paper for the Mumbai crowd – JLT (more about that, later). They reach their destination at 10.30 in the night, noses high up in the air because of their PRESS status. After a furious hunt for the VH1 media chick for their passes, they finally manage to acquire them from her, and are made to stand in the “line” – which for some reason reminds you strongly of the second class compartment of the 8.34 Virar Local. And so they huff and puff, struggling hard to get themselves in, while watching people fan themselves with their VIP passes. When they ask the PR people for help, they bat their eyelids at them, and say, “yes, yes we’re trying”, and bustle about ensuring that the potted plants at the entrance don’t fall on the bouncers. Finally, frustrated, all the publications leave Enigma, including VH1’s media partners themselves, and our heroines spend the night making elaborate plans to maim and mutilate the VH1 media people and the PR agency involved, till Anuya’s father comes and picks them up (hehe). The End.

High Point of the night – Watching Bappi Lahiri walk – man, that must take a lot of effort.
