THE SUN IS NO LONGER SHINING :(

Well, today was an extremely interesting day for TEAM CHENNAI..... well actually the 8 of us who went coffee shop/ outlet hopping....
Well, I started off my day by going to M.O.P and joined Venky & Ruhi at Ruhi's house..... where Nishant joined us and the sun stopped shining ( sigh! Why Nishant????). Nishant & I went to L V Prasad studios to invite the director and unfortunately he had left.... so we decided to stop at the next academic centre to sell our tickets or stick our posters..... Nishant the shah boi decided to stop at this really shady sidey looking place called DOSHI gardens or something like that in VADAPALANI..... an absolutely sidey looking place.... Well, no luck with the tickets but we did market our event a bit.... Thats when the sun decided to leave and the rains took over!!!!
We met Ruhi & Venky @ BARISTA ( TEAM CHENNAI's official meeting spot).... Well, Archanaa, Sneha & Renu turned up and Nishant decided to showcase his talent of identifying LOYOLITES ( He happens to one and is proud of it! Wayy to go shah boi) and selling tickets to them.... The sweet chap ( The loyolite....sorry dunno his name) kinda felt sorry for nishant ( mayb coz of his fringe/ bangs- nishant's) and bought a ticket! So i decided to test my skills at selling tickets.... unfortunately it didn't work..... sigh!
We did stick a poster though and we decided to walk/ drive across to Ispahani and try our luck there. Walking up to people and talking about the event to them kinda helped as 3 tickets were sold. People are nice i say!
I have learnt a lot of things while marketing Footprints. Recession is just an excuse. When managers of stores & outlets of stores where no customers ever come show some interest in the event, DO NOT FALL FOR IT..... THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO FLIRT WITH THE PERSON WHO HAS COME WITH YOU.... ( R-E-N-U) or put some VETTI SCENE!!!!.... Sit at CCD or BARISTA..... coz u mite bump into someone who would like to help you out ( S-N-E-H-A).... a good spot to stick up posters would be near pillars and corners where people usually make-out .... u need to b a snooty bitch to be able to put up posters @ beauty parlours..... ( Thats when red nailpolish comes in handy Ruhi.....)

After the escapades at Ispahani, we decided to go to Kader Nawaz Khan road to sell tickets ( we were joined by Siddharth who decided to quit bein a workaholic..... Nishant was kinda happy as he thought he was being overshadowed by the women :) :) :) :) ) By the time we reached Mocha, it started pouring right royally.... and we kinda got drenched to the core! We did manage to put up a poster there ( Thanks to the brothers and their friends and ofcourse the friends and their brothers): A-R-C-H-A-N-A-A & S-N-E-H-A.... Thanks to the friends and their brothers, we got a swing side table :D ( my house is gonna b like that)..... After we finally ordered for the sake of ordering ( Am not regretting it).... we decided to sell our tickets when Ruhi realised that Nishant had parked her car in the middle of the road and that was blocking the road + Nishant had forgotten to turn off the headlights..... Cacaphony.....

I do have a picture of Nishant Shah trying to park the car inside as well as a picture of the car blocking the road and creating traffic. I will upload that once i get hold of them :D :D :D :D


____________________________ Wait for it _______________________________


Anyways, when we became absolutely enthu and decided to sell the tickets and gave each other the GO TEAM CHENNAI! U CAN DO IT dialogue, we were told that we couldn't sell any tickets......but Nishant & Renu did manage to sell 2 tickets....! :D :D :D :D

SIGH..... 10 days to go! ! ! ! We will do it! The Rains can't stop us!


GO TEAM CHENNAI!
