A teethless comb for hairless head

I had one more doubt regarding our second topic... I searched in google..came up with another interesting article

Alzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

Argh!@#$@@.. those are the ketta vaarthais which our team needed to be bashed with.. That was how our team performed in ALZAP...( one event that our so called team builders or manager-aspirants... I wudn't call them as real managers... organised)..It was some nice horrible experience overall.. the event had three rounds.. the first round was to design a logo and a caption for a product thay would give on stage... and they came up with all the things that their crazy minds could think of...in an attempt to make it more difficult, they turned bit crazy and stuffy.. for us it was 'Gypsy pencils'...( I googled it.. pretty much sure they couldn't think these words on their own... found Gypsy pencil is a ...godforsaken LIP LINER... man!... who knows it....Yeah.. I should have guessed it.. but in the end we ended up with a literal graph... a pencil and a gypsy girl on it..)... I thought we could salvage it in the second round.. One thing i lshould say.. Danny was not interested at all. As usual we prepared half an hour before the event, given our tight work schedules...( i know you would be laughing... :) )..
The topic for second round was given earlier... three topics and we selected one-Comb without teeth-.
I thought Our Idea was perfect.. could be raucous, but being our audience mostly the ones who knew little tamil and the judges( I was wondering why abid was there as a judge.. given his notorious reception for jokes, esp practical ones).. but we ended up sodhapifying it. came up with teleshopping idea...the idea was nice.. but we didnt have enough time for scripts and actions.. I was also wondering about some teams who performed well. was it acceted as a project by them?... How could they find time for practice?!...

The third round was an advertising round.. we have to advertise a brand that we'd be provided on stage.. and what we got? ..... Koundamani MP3 players.... @#!$#!$@#%&@%... these go to the event organisers...and danny was eager from the start to push cricket.. and he used cricketers to advertise it.. horrible man... I think the whole event was a black comedy by someone who was bored with reading official mails and our pantry snacks... Any how we enjoyed seeing ourselves vazhinjifying in front of the stage...
