A very 'Skitty' story indeed!


Since most of the residents get transferred after having spent nearly 5 years of their precious stay on this planet in Monghyr, the expectations of the 'departing' residents as concerns their own 'Club Nite' are usually quite high. This, combined with the general sentiment of pain and sadness among the unlucky rest who did not make it to the transfer list, implies that it is not always easy to put up a show that can meet everyone's expectations, especially since the bar is set so high!!....

Now the concept behind the Club Nite is very simple... Since you've been treated as a pauper for 4-5 years in Munger, at least let us make you feel like a King when you're leaving... So, there is a beautifully decked buggy awaiting the 'departing' Manager & his family... The residents have historically danced behind the buggy in its journey from the departing manager's house to the Park Club (although these days the dance does not happen... instead what happens is a mournful walk from the manager's place to the club, with people cribbing about the heat, the mosquitoes and the fact that this would be their 100th club nite!) A couple of group photographs in front of the Park Club and the Club Nite officially begins!

Or, at least that is what everyone thinks... Little do the unaware residents know that while they were gathering at the 'departing' Manager's place to haul him to the Club, a small coterie of brilliant and the best minds in the park congregates in the chotu room behind the dance floor and begins preparations for what would be another mind blowing Club Nite... They go through every single flaw and shortcoming of the departing Manager and weave it together in a seamless and beautiful Skit which would leave the departing Manager red-faced and the rest of the park in splits...

There have been some pretty awesome Skits in the last one year too, with one couple being compared to Ram-Sita with their very own Hanuman, to people's propensity to fart being disclosed and laughed at to what some people would like to keep a secret, i.e. the goings-on in their bed room!!! There have been hit Hindi songs (remember Karishma Kapoor's sexy, sexy, sexy no.) re-adapted to reflect the kind of jobs the 'departing' Manager did to film posters being morphed so as to enable the departing Manager to be next to his favourite actor!!!

To dull the impact of what would obviously be a very embarrassing night for the departing manager, 2-3 glasses of 'rumaali' (a potent mix of all alcoholic beverages available in the Park Club) are pushed down his throat. This way, the probability of the Manager remembering the events of the Club Nite the next day is significantly reduced...

So that's pretty much what happens in another of Munger's favorite pastimes... All in good fun!
