A really embarrassing episode happened to me in my second year of college..

Someone called me up. He asked me if I remember him. Dunno what made me, but suddenly I had a flash of recognition. Perceiving it as one of my good friend, I spoke to him.  I enquired about him parents, his recent trip to Chennai and what not.

I even asked him to pass the phone to another person – a common friend of mine and the person I was conversing with. He passed it. And I had a nice little chat with the other fellow too.  It was only in the next day that I came to know that NO FRIEND I KNOW CALLED ME!!! It wasn’t an intentional prank. Nevertheless I was fooled, big time!!  Those two , to this day I don’t know who, really cashed in on the situation. The fool that I was, didn’t realize my folly till the end.

I Practically died.. How will I ever show my face in the college. The mystery caller would have had a hearty laugh in my expense.


You too must have been fooled at least once in your lifetime. No, don’t deny it. Its very difficult to find a soul who is yet to experience it. Fool’s day is my favourite day. I like to fool and be fooled a lot. I am addicted to its excitement. There is nothing

to par the exhilaration and delight in meticulously planning and executing a prank. Seriously!!

I am childish enough to enjoy this silliness. Even writing this blog makes me a bundle of excitement and brings back memories of  hordes of hilarious incidents.

I vividly remember  another incident that happened when I was in my 11th and prank links in email was the rage of the season. I am sure you would have got the love calculator?

Yeah!! I was fooled. I eagerly typed in my crush’s name. Imagine my shock when the screen displayed

“YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED!!!”

To make it worse, the link was sent to me by a guy to whom I have never been close with. I was mortified with embarrassment. I felt like beating myself into pulp. Over  and over again.   Phew!!!!!

Ok stop laughing. I have fooled too you know..

On a beautiful 31st of March, me and a friend ganged upon another friend and fooled him so thoroughly.  The screenplay and direction was entirely mine. We called him as the mother of a girl he was particularly close with ;) and interrogated him, asking his intentions and all. He was trying to act tough and casual but was nearly whimpering on phone. ;)

Man!! It was so funny. I still laugh my head off remembering it.  This silliness and craziness  is what that lend colour to my life.

I wish I am this crazy, this silly throughout my life. :) :)
