Well considering this is my first post i figured it should be something funny because thats just what i am.. A bag full of laughter and an even bigger bag full of jokes and tricks!!.. Anyways lemme carry on with my story... Now the story begins in main hostel (WCC)... Its my first year and we had just a single common charging point (near the common loo, dont ask why that particular location was chosen!) ... Now charging points are nothing but a plug point where you would stand and charge your mobile phones, and you would have to stand there and wait for it to charge since otherwise it would be whisked away more artfuly than Charles Dickens' famous artful dodger in Oliver Twist!... and you'd have to stand there because sitting was simply not an option considering the charging point was near the loo.. anyhow, there i was standing there very inoccently minding my own business, humming a tune, hopping around (to avoid the mosquitoes) when my super senior Sue shows up and starts huming along with me, within minutes we attract a few others with a ear for music and from humming we have moved on to full fledged singing and we are in that particularly shrill and high pitched part of the tamil song "Puthu velai mazhai". Now i have failed to mention that it was 1:00 am and as per the rules (which no one really follows) you're s'posed to be in bed by 11, lights off!... so big deal right...who cares?... a couple of whackos singing in the night... happens alot you would think... and rightly so... since it does!!!... but unfortunately, that night, our dear warden, whom i do actualy like now after three solid years there, was apparently in a bad mood at the time (as though we knew!!!)... she stands at the balcony of her room looking like a carbon copy of that bhoot in the music video Noorie and is yelling in Tamil (for better effect... scream it to yourself in tamil =) or better yet imagine nagavali (from manichitrathazhu) screaming it in that gutral voice!!! )
"Dai, Yaaru adhu?" (translates: Oi! Who's there?)
all of us shut up immediately! (me and the other first years...two of them... have our eyes wide with fright, we ve barely been in hostel for 3 months now and are quite sure our parents wouldnt approve of us being sent back.... so early!!!!=))
"dai, sollu da, yaaru adhu? (translates: oi! tell me!!!.. who's there?)
Two others and me and that super senior Sue slink back to the wall, the others escape into the bathrooms... Now please note, Sue and me are huge(i mean physicaly) making it next to impossible to stay hidden even while sticking to that wall! so its not long before she spots (only) the two of us and hollers...
..."dai, Merry soo, Agalaya (both of which are not how you pronounce either of our names=))... yenna pandre??.... time yenna aichu???.... yea ipidi wouru maniku phone charge pandre??... Kandipa na principalkittu name kudukurae!! (transalates:oi, Merry soo n agalaya, what are you doing? whats the time? why are you charging your phones like this at 1:00 am? i'll definately give your names in to the principal!)
by now am shitting in my pants and sue s almost rolling over the floor in silent laughter... So as i give sue a very tensed good night, i ask how bad it wil be when the principal reprimands us for our behaviour(at that point of time, thats as bad as i could be... he he he), she simply laughs it of and says " hey, no big deal! just avoid jumping in front of wardens face for a week or so... she ll soon forget all about it!... reassured, i fall asleep that night!
The next day somewhere round about lunchtime we had to head out of safe territory and get lunch... Ok... apparently its not a problem, since the door to the wardens office was a four part door where the bottom could be closed but the top left open!!.. so very smartly, if i may say so, we decide to crawl past her door!!... so there we are two very well and full grown girls crawling on all fours by her office, me leading the way!!... just as we cross the door and we enter suposedly safe territory i see a pair of legs in front of me.. knowing full well they belonged to our very dear warden i look up very shepishly, sue being slightly cleaverer (hmmmmm) pretends to be searching for something... we quickly get pulled up by our ears and get the first shelling i ever did in WCC (but not before taking those thin and slim monkeys, who managed to hide themselves, down with us muahhahahahaha*evil*).... thats hostel and thats life.... and now looking back, i ve enjoyed every bit of it as well!...growing up is fun, i pity poor peter pan who never knew the joys of growing up!
