Path gone wrong.....chinna pasanga naana...

Got reminded of an incident from school & decided to put it in before i changed my mind...
Come to think of it, a very trivial thing that occurred on a rainy day way back when i was in class 7 - with the inmates starting to show signs of adolescence.... relax...am not about to describe a boys/thulluvadho ilamai part 2 here......(un)fortunately i happened to find myself in a typical tam-bram school where the beginning of teenage was marr/ked by the reluctance to befriend the opposite sex, leave alone flirt....(now this must give a fairly good idea as to how ancient i am...)

On the fateful day, the particular subject teacher was off and for all the impeccable record that my alma-mater maintained, the entire class was submerged in preparation for the upcoming tests. Yours truly was bored in no time of pretending to be merge with the studs and decided to indulge in play (of the harmless kind).....i looked around in all directions to spot one of the more happy-go-lucky girls seated in the last row trying to update her lab-book; an evil smile went up my lips, i picked up my weapon - a frail laced green kerchief, rolled it into a ball and aimed for the center spot between her eyebrows & threw the piece of cloth with all my might........

I watched with unconcealed excitement as the missile went in the prescribed trajectory all the way upto the second-last bench. At that precise matrix-moment, the creaking old khaitan fan played havoc and hijacked the kerchief causing it to land on the head of an unsuspecting member of the opposite sex....by this time the expression on my face had changed to horror, but (given the years of experience in such matters) quicky recovered to turn the other side and pretended to give a venn-diagram my fullest attention....However my triumph was short-lived for within seconds there was a lot of commotion from the back-benchers and one voice stood out from the rest - "yaaruppa thalai mela kerchief pottathu? yaaroda kerchief ithu?" i stubbornly refused to participate in the open forum when the KIKT (kooda irunthu kuzhi thondara) neighbour of mine jubilantly identified the weapon of maanam destruction to be mine....

i dont have the courage to go on......but am sure you can figure out for yourselves as to how embarrassing the next few days were at school....

actually pretty cool! thought you have been a fruit, it might have been embarassing to you.. :P

But seriously, I kinda like girls who are a little more forthcoming than they are generally believed to be.. i.e. if a girl asks me out before I can ask her out.. I will be almost head-over-heels for her. hehe.. but then that's just me...

so enna nadandhadhu apparam..:D :P

cheers!

(and just in case subhashini happens to comment here, my so-called cover-up for being the first one to comment - my feed reader showed only this post as being the latest, plus it definitely is a little funny.. :P)
