SRM CAMPUS ERUPTS INTO JOYFUL LAUGHTER WITH KENNY SEBASTIAN

\nScience and Technology on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys and gals don\u2019t stress because you will be great,\u201d the cool humorist said strumming his guitar and singing of something as commonplace as \u201cI am waking up, standing, sitting on a chair and dreaming another dream\u201d. \u201cI will not move to the washroom and spare you the flushing,\u201d he said making fun of some pedestrian western music that was catching on in India. The message to students was to find their own internal rhythm and look for answers within themselves. \u201cThe problem is most people look outside for solutions,\u201d he said.
\nThe 45-minute show which had over 5,000 students giggling and laughing as they hung on his every comma and full stop, regarding tall boys and short girls, chappals and high heels, had an underlying sobering theme of not getting stressed up whether students were studying engineering, science, technology or arts. \u201cI have a degree in painting and sculpture.\u201d he said quickly adding, \u201cAnd a Ph.D in \u2018Disappointment\u2019 evoking peals of laughter. Life comes in positives and negatives but it is important to be honest and work hard without losing your sense of humour, he said emphasizing the importance of mental health.
\nSwaying on to the stage arms held out as wings simulating a touchdown by an aeroplane, Kenny made an instant connect with them asking where he should stand, at the centre or on one flank. A girl student shouted \u201cI love you Kenny\u201d and pat came the response, \u201cI don\u2019t know you, you might be crazy, but I am just joking, I love you too, so sweet of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another rib tickler was, \u201cHum Theen Honge Paanch\u201d (We three will become five) taking a dig at the country\u2019s rising population. \u201cit does not matter what you say, just make it sound nice,\u201d he said breaking
\ninto a mild shocker \u201cTumne Paadh Diya, Hum Ne Sun Liya Kyonki Tum Ho SRM University\u201d (You Fart, I heard it because You are SRM varsity). Alluding to students who had gathered many hours in advance of his arrival at the T.P Ganesan Auditorium, Kenny had them exploding with his remark, \u201cHope you took a bathroom break\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Kenny Sebastian show was the highlight of the day-long \u2018Jhalak\u2019 cultural event at SRM campus. It was a sort of homecoming for Kenny who had a few years back enlivened the week-long \u2018Milan\u2019 cultural fest at SRM. Kenny\u2019s show also brought the smiles to the faces of faculty, educationists and administrators at SRM who have been taking various measures to address the problem of depression among students which has become a world-wide challenge on campuses. It was Kenny competing in time and space with academicians, administrators, scientists and medical experts to engage students in an entirely off-academia experience.
\n\u201cI feel inspired to be a stand up comedian myself. Kenny is way above his counterparts when it comes to connecting with students.\u201d Samraj Singh Khokar, a second year student said.
\nSaid Ayush Rao, another student, \u201cBasically what I thought of Kenny\u2019s show was how by just being funny and observing simple things can make you that big a celebrity. All you have to do is
\nto just enjoy what you do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
