Living The Dream

Posted on May 8, 2009 - Filed Under blog | 3 Comments

I once had a dream, which I documented in my LJ and subsequently imported to my bleg when I launched this website.

It involved a car boot prank that I had conjured up when I had a random arbit conversation with my lunch gang at the former workplace. (If you guys are reading this, I miss you like crazy. Seriously.)

After having thrown a party with my quad mates at the last minute, we had stayed up late until sunrise to clean things up, following which hunger pangs took over, and as a result, we decided to head out of campus for breakfast.

Having eating happily, on our way back to campus, my quad-mate, Akshay Pai told me about how we should play a prank, and I was suddenly reminded of the post of mine I had written almost a year ago. Ax Pai rocks no end.

As a mandatory security check, as it is in all places, we were stopped at the gate and our car boot was opened. I was ensconed safely in the boot of the car, and I stepped out as the security guards opened the boot, in order to climb out and sit in the front seat.

I must confess that neither the security chaps nor the occupants of the car could contain their laughter, and it was a wonderful start to the day.

In other news, I’ve come up with another acronym to indicate how things are with life in general here. We have classes for four days a week and three days off in which we have to study lots more than we do during the four days of classes.

I’ve devised something which is equivalent to TGIF, but appropriate to our circumstances. It is S.H.I.T (Seriously Happy Its Thursday), and true to form, I am hoping the entire fraternity adopts said lingo for much fun times to be had.

Its been less than a month, and I feel that my quad-mates and I have left an indelible mark on the place already. The next eleven months can’t even be envisioned as of now. Also, entire proceedings of what transpired have been microblegged on twitter for your reading pleasure. Check right column of this stupid website for more information.

There’s already plans afoot to extend the car boot prank, and should you choose to borrow it, kindly give me copyright or in the worst case, take a video of your prank and upload it. A video of my dastardly act has been shot to be preserved henceforth for posterity. Watch out for it on youtube in a short while. Until then, Dasvidanya.

    Some guys from our batch played this prank too :) I’m sure the old security guys wouldn’t be startled :-P

    The security group changed at the end of ‘07, to your luck and joy ;-)
