Wondering who said the above quote ??? Well every FISATian knows it . It was none other than Sreenath Bhasi when he came to FISAT for the inauguration of Arangu 2014. If I be true to you guys I wasn't aware of such a figure in malayalam cinema .But after his short cameo at Arangu inauguration I must say " Machaane you are awesome."
FISAT is the same college where Mr. Bhasi had come seeking admission and was rejected a few years back .And now look at him , standing there with all those grey haired dignitaries and his huge poster in the background .Must be an awesomefeeling when the Principal who rejected you a few years back , escorts you onto the stage and claps when you light the lamp.

Whenever I see this photo one of the foremost things that comes to my mind is 'the generation gap' . Look at Bhasi. I like the way he is dressed . A kind of protest to the age old notion of wearing pant and shirt to inauguration ceremonies. His blue full sleeves tshirt ,rough jeans accompanied by those black boots definitely sets him apart from all others on stage. The bearded Bhasi seems to suggest that you don't have to be clean shaved to be the chief guest of an event
Lets just take our eyes off Bhasi and have a look at other dignitaries present on stage .You will notice one thing thats common in all of them . They are wearing nicely ironed pants ..and shirts dipped in Ujala Stiff n Shine .The pants are so loose you might confuse it with a mundu .And the belt is trying hard to keep their bellies under control. Most of them have taken time from their busy schedule to dye their hair ,but alas they don't look younger.
I don't have the slightest of problem to the way they dress.Maybe thats what suits them and are comfortable in . But I have every bit of problem when they try to impose their dressing style on us .Ohhh...Come on..Thats not how you close in on the generation gap.
Uniform is an integral part of every FISATian . Green pant and grayish shirts (may vary for hostellers as we rarely wash 'em) and a black tag around our neck .The tag is the most annoying part of the uniform .It makes you feel as if you are a dog tied to the college campus. The other day I had to get some documents attested so I rode some 80 odd kms from my house to the college under the brightly shining sun but when I reached outside the principal's office I was greeted with a long lecture .Apparently I wasn't wearing my uniform.
The college administration displayed their height of stupidity when they banned tshirts from Arangu 2014 . Past years were colourfull with each branch having its distinct tshirt .The creativity on those tshirts were worth noticing. Many branches had ordered tshirts this time around too but just 2 days before Arangu a notice was read and all hopes of wearing tshirt were gone. Even after so many days I am still thinking of a possible reason for this step taken by the college administration.At the same time there's a fear haunting me . Will they ban jeans for the next year's Arangu.If thats the case then I will be left with no other choice than to borrow formal pants from the Dean himself. He seems to be having a lot of pants. I guess he wouldn't mind lending me one for a couple of days.
It was because of all these reasons that Sreenath Bhasi's dressing style caught my eye . The Chief Guest was wearing the stuff that the college administration didn't want the students to wear .How cool is that...thats how you make a statement through your dress and for that matter Mr. Bhasi deserves all credit.Not only was his dresscode unique but the words coming out of his mouth were also interesting.My personal favourite is the part where he embarrassed the college dignitaries for refusing him admission. Sreenath urging the principal to allow one day for colour dress was also a masterpiece. The frankness with which he spoke appealed to the audience. Thats what I like the most about artists. They don't give a damn to who's listening to them .They just speak their heart out.
