My last post was certainly unlike me...people who know me well will agree on it without any doubt. So, i thought y not write something nostalgic and what i m very gud at....hey, these are not my words, people keep repeating it, n then, i never stop them....well, y shud i? infact, who the hell in this world wud stop people saying something great about them....if that's the only gud thing they speak. atleast not me.
Here, i m free to express my views...but then, its a waste of my ability here, no one cares to read my views, infact no one is interested. but a part of my heart still wants people to visit my blog and comment on it. i m planning to market my blog by attaching free gifts to all who visits n then comments something about it. but again there's a problem, people now hardly believe on such offers. My curses will always be with them who claim to gift something n never really fulfill their promise.....i say, such portals shud be banned. i myself have been a victim few times. i still remember the names of those portals....for security reasons, i m not able to mention them...... Security reasons??? Damn security reasons..Infact the truth is that i dont want to mention their name coz i still believe (dont ask on what basis) that someday i'll be getting a call from them to collect my free gift...no wonder, why people say me GREEDY.....and sometimes, too optimistic.
So, lets start with something here. Few of my old pals, by OLD....i really mean OLD. at 25-26 u just cant call them YOUNG, but then, there are always few exceptions....like, like.....like....oh yes, Ofcourse Me. Hmmm... i was telling about my old frens. Few of my old frens once planned to go for a Movie.......a classic movie, how classic...u'll get to understand if i mention who directed it.....KARAN JOHAR......now, u know . Anyways, the movie was Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai, and mind you, this is the only movie which i liked from Karana Johar production n i watched it for 8 times...though about the last 6 times, no one ever knew...actually, when u bunk classes, u always have a feeling that u may be exposed someday if more n more ppl get to know abt it. So, the planning was that 10 of our friends will be going for the movie...we, particulary me, were very excited about this idea.....the sole reason being "few chicks" in that list. but i never called them "chicks"........infact i called "babe" to one of them. none will disagree that she was not a babe....she was. And no prize to my male friends in that 10 for guessing whom i m referring to....n for those, who didnt belong to that 10, i'll not take much of ur intelligence....i m referring to one called "Prot*ma". For those who dont know her, i can promise that she was too hot to handle, so didnt get much opportunity to handle her in my entire lifetime of my school days. And the current status of that BABE is that she is married to one Mr Himadri. I m sorry to him if he finds himself in an embarassing situation to read such things abt his beautiful wife...but he shud feel proud that even she was so popular bcoz of her looks n "other" things....she was always a decent gal....n that was her USP. .....anyways, i was talking abt that movie.

Once shy, once "she".....once shheeeehhhhhh......Mr Sutanu, my longtime friend, promised that he will get us Balcony tickets on print price..ie. for Rs 25 each although the tickets were sold on black for an astronomical amount of Rs 100 each... astronomical in the sense that most of us used to get a maximum of Rs 100 per month as our pocket money that time....n sometimes, we used to "manage" few bucks also...n u know, HOW??? We decided that we wud be going for the Matinee show...and on the D-Day we also had our classes, so the plan was to mass bunk that day after the lunch time n reach the "Priya" Hall before 3 pm...the show time. But as it always happens, those "chicks" including my "babe" showed their inability to make it that day....infact, what i feel now, that they must have read our minds, n for the safety of thier "dignity", they changed their minds. anyways, that was not to be n so didnt get materialise.
Now, since they refused, no way the boys gang cud think of watching it all alone....coz we really had some other plans.....infact, not really. i mean at that age...sitting with them was a big ocassion....an ocassion to celebrate. i remember, the male gang saying "Khhooch Khhooch Hota Hai" after the plan flopped. The biggest problem was that the tickets were already booked, and no way that cud be cancelled and the money being refunded and Rs 25 being a gud amount to lose without actually using it. So, i came up wid an idea....i casually suggested to "BLACK' those tickets ourselves and then divide the money equally amongst we 10 after deducting the cost of travelling to-n-from the cinema hall and back to school. Though, it was just a casual suggestion, it was agreed by the majority, n y not....as i told u....Rs 25 was not a small amount for everyone.
now the question was...who'll do that? since i suggested, i was the unanimous choice. n i was offered Rs 50 extra or any amount that i'll be getting above the print price....and, as i just mentioned somewhere in this post, that i was a bit greedy...i simply cud not not say NO. infact, i was excited wid the idea that i'll be doing something very adventurous. I agreed on the idea, but i was a bit worried abt me going all alone...i wanted someone to be wid me as my partner in crime. Sattu agreed to volunteer, without asking for his share in the profit....so, it was all my gain. As soon as the lunch bell rang at 12.20 pm, we both rushed towards the Taxi stand...it was so amazing to be in the taxi and not paying anything from our own pocket. we reached there in the cinema hall in exactly 15 minutes at about 12.40.
The hall was less populated then bcoz of the noon show was ON. and only few Blackiers were there, but obviously not in the school dress...hehehehe. anyways, we waited..waited...and waited. infact we were at some distance from those professional Blackiers...otherwise, they cud have kicked us from that site. we were there to snatch their Bread and Butter, so it was always on cards.
after half an hour, we saw our first "bakda"...n he was wid 5 of his friends...we approached him b4 he cud come closer to those professionals. we told them abt our problem...infact, only a bit of it was right. we told that we grabbed 10 tickets from these Blackiers for Rs 100 each n we hv cancelled the plan bcoz of some big problem. We acted so innocently that he had to belive us, and moreover, we offerd them the tickets on half the price we bought...hey, not Rs 12.50...but for Rs 50. We acted helpless in incurring Rs 50 loss per ticket, and that guy was luking so happy as though he has just won the world. now we already had Rs 300...ie Rs50 more than what we spent actually for that. We planned to sell the remaining 4 tickets for any amount we'll get. We were reminded in our conscience that too much of greed is bad for health, so we were ready to sell it in any amount we can get. After about another 15 minuts, we saw 2 persons coming towards us....n we were sure that we are going to be kicked on our ass now. they were those Blackiers. They came to us n shouted on us. Thankfully our ass was safe. They asked us the reason to be there n doing what we were doing. We acted innocently once again...me doing the main role and Sattu doing the guest appearance ( special thanks to him---though he just missed the nomination for supporting actor at Oscars). anyways, they were convinced and allowed us to sell those 4 tickets and leave ASAP. we exactly did that as we got our next customer...
we had a total of Rs 450 wid us. But when we reached our school back, we just had to give the account for Rs 250....n me along wid Sattu gave all the vague figures, so that we were left wid only Rs 100, and as promised i got Rs25 + Rs 50 extra= Rs75 and Sattu his share of Rs 25...
What happened to rest of the money....is History. But one thing is sure, the blackier world just missed two of their brightest stars.
That incident is still fresh in my mind. and i m proud, i cud do that.
