Lift: Case I

so madam, along with three of her colleagues, steps in to the lift..
two stand in the two corners, madam is standing right opp to the switch panel and there are some 2 more unknown people in the lift.

the door is about to close, wen this guy who is suposed to get in, doesn't get in to the lift.. and we hav to struggle around and get the lift to stop so that he can enter.. But I think something was wrong with him, he didn't understand the works of a lift, maybe. So I almost shout on him askin him to get in..

He manages to walk in, hurting himself in the automatic doors of the lift.

While the lift gets going, I check the stops on my way to the 6th floor. The lift is supposed to stop on floor 4 as well, and I almost felt I knew who pressed the button..

Thin, lean and tiny, I'm barely visible in the crowd of 3 fat men and 2 tall ladies.
Makin the most of this situation, I kinda whisper - "Everyone will have to come out of the lift cus this guy in front of me has just pressed for number 4."

Floor Number 4, and that dumb fellow is out of the lift, expecting someone to get out... Well, there was no one who wanted to get out on #4 and it seemed like someone pressed the button by mistake.. I get the stares.. And I am almost trying to control my laughter..

The Dumb Guy again forgets that he has to get in before the lift door closes and we somehow manage to stop the doors for closing. I shout at him and ask him to walk inside the lift.

well.. floor 6 comes.. immediately after the door opens, I run out of the lift.. and start laughing, obnoxiously loud enough to shake the entire building.. err.. exxaggeration..

i run into the office, laughin like a Mad woman and two more follow..

The Story repeats and now.. 10 of us are jus sitting and laughing in the office..

My first Start-up Job and my last set of colleagues in Mumbai..
Miss you Guys..

A.A.A.Aa

f all the A's in this world i know, these guys are the latest addition to the list.

One A in the title belongs to me.. the others are as follows:

Aditya

Akash

Aashish (the Double A belongs to this dude)

We are a bunch of people, really enthu about Unconferences (read Barcamp).
Met Akash at Barcamp Ahmedabad, Aditya at Barcamp Techfest and subsequent other events in IITB and havnt met Aashish yet, cus BarCamp B'lore keeps gettin postponed :-D

anyways, so one fine day, the prankster in me wakes up.. decides to play a prank on all of them....

started out by putting in a status message - OTSDDP...

which means "On The Spot Dhan Dhanadhan Popat", in short.. heard this last nite and laughed for almost an hour after the conversation....

for the uninitiated, it means giving undeniable proof that the person in question is a genuine in-duh-vidual and may, if s/he tries hard enough, reach the Darwin award nomination levels.
:-D

Anyways, going further, Aditya asks me what does this mean...
Prankster on the prowl, how can i let go off this question so easily... here's the conversation :

Aditi: ummm.. Ask Aashish. He'll know..
Aditya: Aashish... is not on my list...
Aditi: here is his id - aashish....@gmai.....
Aditya: ok cool...

in the meantime, I try and convince Aashish to direct him to me again for the meaning of that abbre.

Aashish: nahin yaar, woh bechara kaam kar raha hoga
Aditi: nahin re, he is chattin with me... please, be my prank buddy today, and direct him to me...
Aashish: nahin, mat pareshan kar bechare ko...

for the sweetheart he is, he was refusing to play along...
anyways, after a few moments...

Aditya: Tell na.. Aashish is not telling me...
Aditi: ok ask Akash.
Aditya: Akash is not on my list either...
Aditi: here you go... akash... @gmai.....
Aditya: wait something is happening... He is adding me...

at the back, this is what was happening...

Aditi: Hey akash, aditya will get in touch with u to know the meaning of some word. Just direct him to me.
Akash: wat ???

(he was kinda busy.. and i had bothered him. didnt understand what i said, so explained him the whole thing again.)

Akash: u know the meaning of the word...
Aditi: for all u know, he wont ask u, cus you are not there on his list.
Akash: gimme his id.
Aditi: aditya....@gmail.....

So yes, akash added him to actually direct aditya back to me for the meaning of the abbre.
And Aditya is wondering why would Akash add him !

Anyways...

this goes on for sometime...
Akash gets irritated and gives him the meaning to the abbre. after doing a google search.

i get gaalis... :-P

And i am the only one laughing... :-D, cus they actually didn't know tat i was playin a prank till late.

anyways, didn't pull off as well as the previous ones.
hopefully, i will be able to pull out a better one sooner.

looks more like .. mera OTSDDP hogaya ... :-P

Keep Prank-ing.
Want company, get in touch with me :-D
