Orignal Prankster
Its 5:00am in the morning I have been breaking my head for around 6 hours over a unheard of topic (Will the entry of WTO benefit India?), I’am out of luck , patience and coffee and to make life a little brighter I might have a Accounting quiz tomorrow. Welcome to IIM-Hell, where the working hours sound like an exaggeration and the workload has you bent over like a 80 year old man. But life is not all that grim here.
I will tell you about this prank I just orchestrated.
It all started when a dear friend of mine met up with my 3 other friends and as you would expect these guys sitting there cooked up a prank on me.
I get a SMS from M saying that he is really pissed off at me and I shouldn’t have done it. Further saying that he considered me a good friend, now that I had betrayed his friendship. All this hits me like a rock on the head leaving me clueless about what had transpired. So I approach him all apprehensive of what did I do. He tells me “Nikhil I did not know that you would do this to me. You made a joke of me! If you felt this way about me you should have told me in the face, instead of going around saying I’ am a total drunkard I front of others”. I was stumped I thought to my self “When did u make such a stupid remark, OHH my god you are going to loose a dear friend”.
I asked Mr M who told you this , he says “ Sorry, What point is it now, I know you said it ! “ After pestering him for a few minutes He tells me why don’t you ask Mr AP He was there all along, I’ am not in the mood for this conversation. So I go back to the room frantically look for Mr AP’s ph.no and call him. “Hi AP whats with Mr M dude he is mighty pissed off with me, What’s wrong? did he tell you anything” Mr AP said “He did mention something about you in the mess today but I’ am not comfortable discussing that right now, You shouldn’t have done it, You can ask Mr AB he was there too”. There I was with no clue what sin I had committed, which every one was running away from even uttering. And the passing the parcel continued with me shuttling between Mr M -> Mr AP -> Mr AB and back. Around 4 hours and 50 bucks worth phone calls later I realized it was a Prank.
So as I stood that and contemplated “what a Jackass I’am”, The bell in my head rings, “How about some Payback? Lets give these guys a taste of their own medicine”. I barge into Mr M’s room telling him “Oh so this is what friendship is to you, From now on I don’t know you and I don’t step into this room of yours”. As the inbuilt urge has it dramatize the situation , after reciting the dialog I had rote a few minutes back I paced back to my room, Mr M followed suit And as soon as he reached the door I latched it shut Leaving Mr M with this truckload of guilt. As he stood outside the door he shouted “Nikhil I’ am sorry, I did not mean to hurt you, I ‘am sorry please open the door “ As I sat all locked up I couldn’t stop laughing and imagining the scene he was creating in the hostel. After 10 minutes of pleading Mr M runs out of air and heads back to his room with drooped shoulders.
Next up Mr AP who I decide its better to do away with a few hard kicks on his buns after a long wild chase around the college on foot. That leaves me with the last man Mr AB a very close friend and a sensitive and mature guy , so I apply the same strategy to Mr AB I don’t talk to him in class except for the statement “Our friendship is over”. So Mr AB gets all sentimental and starts consoling and saying sorry, So I put up a Grim Upset look and try to pay no heed. After class Mr AB sends me load’s of Im’s on Yahoo messenger saying sorry. After about a day and 50-60 Im’s later I say to my self its time to burst the bubble.
So I release the news on the messenger to Mr M and Mr AB who have a hearty Laugh and promise “never to mess with a maratha again”. But after about 15 minutes I have them knocking at my door, As soon as I open the door they force them selves in and give me a few good had kicks towards the rear end, saying now its “peace”.
