Now, we had a proper plan to execute& we were aware that from the very next sunrise our schedule is going to be very hectic. To check out our convincing skills we decided that we all people will go together for the first sponsor. We all agreed unanimously for Stani Memorial College as our first target. Initially we were bit nervous, but the moment we started showcasing our idea, we regained our confidence & explained the whole concept to those people. There response was positive & that has given every individual a confidence that we can do it.
Now as per plan we have to work in teams. Every team comprises of 2 people. After Stani College, we parted our ways as per plan. Surprisingly Rohit was in my team. Surprising because communication speed of Rohit is 1.5 times than that of mine & my speed every one knows). We first went to an English Speaking Class in Shyam Nagar (don’t remember the name). There we met the director of the institute. It took round about two hours to convince him. He was very much convinced but now he was more of interested in our history. He was all praise of our guts & instantly gave the cheque of Rs. 2100/-. This was our first cheque & we were so happy as if we have finished the race.
Next day we decided that few of the members will meet our college director & ask him to sponsor the event. Getting money from our director is a very tedious job. They explained the bits & bytes of the concept to him & tried to convince him that it will take RIET to new heights. He agreed on every point but he was not ready to sponsor it. Then one of our team member said that we will make you the judge of the Fashion Show & then he instantly gave the Rs. 5100/- cash.
Everybody was asking what all companies will come in Job Fair. Naggi bhai gave us a list of companies to us & said it is his responsibility to get these companies in Job Fair. We were relaxed as it was not our responsibility to get the companies.
Response for Fashion Show was overwhelming. Only Engineering guys/girls were allowed to participate in it & its entry Fee was Rs 300/-. We hired a professional to train the contestants for the ramp walk.
At every night we meet at Yogesh or our place & discuss the things happened that day & were planning the things for very next day. Kisi ko bhi bhookh pyaas ki chinta nahin thi bas ek hi cheez dimaag main thi 6th October. Initially things were moving slowly, but were moving as per our plan. We were succeeding in convincing the people. Some of them gave the cash/cheque instantly. Some of them gave the dates to come & collect the money. Some of them simply rejected us. Everything was going fine. But later on don’t know what happen, things started changing. Nothing was working, nobody was giving sponsorship. Tickets bhi nahin bik rahe the. To sell the tickets I went to Alwar, Tanush went to Sikar. Alwar was a complete failure. Sikar gave a nice response.
On 30th September our college was celebrating Freshers Party, we were enjoying it, and then suddenly one of the MINDZ people came to us and said that we are enjoying today & 5 din ke baad hamari lagne wali hai. Then there only we calculated our total collection & it was just 1lakh rupees. We were short of 1 lakh Rupees & this came as a shock. Now we have to do some thing to attract more & more sponsors & sell tickets. Naggi bhai suggested giving an advertisement in newspaper & posters in city. This was adding to our budget but we were left with no other option.
We gave an advertisement in Rajasthan Patrika or posters & pamphlets bhi chhapwa liye. Fir us raat hum Jaipur ki sadkon per ghoom rahe the or posters chipka rahe the & the best part was usi raat Police un logon ko search kar rahi thi jo diwaron per posters chipkate hain. Poore 2 ghante tak police ko chakma dete hue humne posters chipkaye the. Is event ke liye humne kya-kya nahin kiya. Event se ek din pehle Jaipur main ek FAIR tha. Hum uske bahar khade hokar pamphlets distribute kar rahe the. Kismat dekho, hamare college ke faculty members bhi aaye the wo fair dekhne or jab humko wahan dekha to………… But that day we realize how it feels when someone just throws away the pamphlets without even reading it. It was really a different experience……………
Yogesh managed to get the Higher Education Minister of Rajasthan to preside the Job Fair. Advertisement & Posters gave some momentum & we got some more sponsorship. We were using our each & every source to sell the tickets.
Fir 5th October ki raat aa gayee. or aakhiri bouncer aakar laga ki Companies nahin aa rahi hain Job Fair main, but Naggi bhai told that not to worry he will manage this & will bring the companies. Hamare pass koi option bhi nahin tha unki baat maane ke alawa. Hum kuchh nahin kar sakte the siwaye intezaar ke

Bus Subah Ke Intezar Main Raat Yun Hin Guzar Jaayegi
Ab To Bus Uljhan Hai Saath Hamare, Neend Kahan Aayegi
Subah Ki Kiran Najaane Kaun Sa Sandesh Laayegi
Rim Jhim Si Gungunaayegi Yaa Pyaas Adhoori Reh Jaayegi
