Sometimes being wrong is good! And being
right?.....Well that is not counted here
you see!
:P
This is no quote or
saying guys, but something that I discovered lately. Allow me all tell you how.
One evening I and my bunch of friends were sitting near the
muddy, near developing, poorly maintained,
so called foot ball field in our campus. Few passionate people were into
the game, running and chasing the ball. We were just into our normal chats
until even we didn’t remember when the sun went down.
There was a construction work being carried out, a little
distance from there, which had supposedly stopped by then due to the
diminishing light. It was dark and a little quite there, so we had our part of
‘peaceful chats’, enjoying the silence and wilderment, though people walked
behind us on and off.
Suddenly out of nowhere a guard with another fellow, came to
us and told us to get up from there and go somewhere else. For one moment we
didn’t listen to him, we turned and thusly he repeated what he said,” It’s too late.
You people get up from here and go somewhere else. You are not allowed to sit
here. It’s not safe.”
One of us was like, “Excuse
me! Isn’t this place counted in college campus?”
This reply made him raise his voice and he retorted saying, “No,
I was told you have been sitting here for quite long, so you better get up and
keep moving. Sit in the other part of college it’s too dark here, you might get
hurt!”
We made faces like
(O_o). None of us is below 20, so it was obvious making that face. I was
thinking in my head, my dad telling me when I was 10
Let’s go home beta, it’s not safe playing here at night, you might get
hurt in dark
Since he was neither my dad nor was I 10, so I answered back,”
See bhaiya, it’s inside a college campus not that we are somewhere outside, at
some unknown place. We have not been here all day long.”
My friend whose boyfriend was also along, jolted out saying,
“See we are four people, not one guy and girl, who could have been pointed
out.”
Fare share of dialogues indeed!
Nevertheless he was
bothering us a lot and we were stubborn students who didn’t move an inch! Why
should we anyways?!
Point 1.- We were inside college campus
Point2. -We were not doing anything ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’
Point3. -Common Man! We don’t listen to our lecturers and
this fool expects us to listen to him! I mean What the Fish!
He kept on pestering us with dialogues like order from
principle and director, you better don’t sit here or you will get into trouble,
I will complaint. Suddenly one of my friend, got really pissed off and turned
around saying, “ Abey ja jake daru pike soja!!”
(You go, get drunk and sleep!)
The rest of us went like OOPS!!
“What did you just say?” he questioned in a stern tone, “Ya
I will get drunk and sleep!, now you wait
here and watch!” . He took out
his mobile and called someone.
“What did you say that?” , I asked my friend, “ mad or
what?!”
“What yar! He will eat our brain and we will keep quiet?! He
just pissed me off! Let him complaint to principle, director or my dad, I don’t
care, my dad will always support me!”
“Oh! And ‘jake daaru pike soja’, will your dad support you
for that too??”, I asked him.
…..Pause…..
“YES! He will!”, “I could have beaten him up here only, if I
could”, my friend went furious.
“You are nuts? What is wrong with you? He was just doing his
duty, why would you think of beating him up for that? Calm down ok!” His
girlfriend calmed the hot iron head, which was seriously required at that moment.
My third friend really got scared. Surprised as to what went
wrong on all of a sudden, she softly spoke to me,” hey sheebs, maybe we should
move from here?”
“It is okay yar, nothing will happen, why are you scared?
Let him call whosoever he wants to, we will deal with it”, I calmed her down.
The guard was done
with the calling part and was now standing and waiting, for that someone. His
belly high up to his chest with pride, as if he had caught some retards and
some devil would drop down from heaven and take us with him to hell.
In no time , few
people arrived on the so called sight of crime. They included 2 more guards,
college diary shop owner, and above all, their general, the security head
himself! :P
“Ya wokay! What is the matter?! “, he asked.
My friend got up and said, “See sir, we are not supposed to
go out of the college campus late night and according to all rules and
protocols, we are sitting inside the campus area. What is wrong in sitting
here, we don’t understand.”
“ See that are
orders of principle and director, this area has got construction work going on,
you may get hurt at night, so sitting in this area is prohibited...”, and he
went on speaking.
We all got up, and
stood shoulder to shoulder, forming an opposition team. Before he could complete
his sentence, my friend came forward and repeated her old words, “Hum koi galat
kaam thodi kar rahe the, aur hum 4 log hai, group mein baithe hai, usmei galat
kya hai?”( we are not doing anything
wrong, we four were just sitting in a group and talking, what is bad in that)
I moved forward and
said ,” Sir we didn’t know it was a prohibited area, you could have better put
a warning board here, that could have been noticed by all.”
As soon as the army head opened his mouth to reply, a strong
smell of alcohol filled the air. I giggled inside
what an irony man! We tell the guard to go
and get drunk and he brings his superior who is already high! LOL!
What made us more surprised was when he said in his
loosing-the-grip tone,” what did you tell the guard? Go and get drunk?! Is that
what you say?”
I was like hahahahaaaaaaa…..Look who is saying that?!!
F*****!
I was dead sure others were into the same thought. After a
few quarrels and cross firings, our honorable milkman came into the
conversation, “Hey why are you fighting like this, go to your rooms ma! Next
time don’t say anything wrong, and don’t sit here and create a scene like
this!”
My lady friend, who was now hot with temper, bolted out
saying,” You don’t speak in the middle! K! You sell milk at price more than the
MRP. You charge us for the cooling. Isn’t this wrong what you are doing? And
you tell us what is right? So you better keep mum!”
“That everybody does here, what would you do, go complaint
to principle if you want to. “, he replied in a raised voice.
“We are not fools!,
we are educated people! What will principle do? We will call Consumer Forum and
complaint about you! Then you see how do you carry out your job!”, my friend bowled
him off.
He literally went silent and kept mum. He had nothing to say
and or may be freaked out.
Finally the so called security head asked our names, phone
numbers, year and all details to give to the principle and told us to meet him
next morning. He missed my admission number so I told him to add it on the
list. He giggled at .., what to call it, bravery?! :P
He let us leave and
told us to come tomorrow and meet the principle. As we were leaving we asked
him, “sir which way is safe for going to hostel? This way or that one?,” we pointed at the two
direction. He laughed and said,” That way”, pointing to the one which was well
lit and had few people walking around.
We turned aroud, looked at each other and started laughing
our hearts out! No, it was no special memory; we were just feeling good,
because we just blew them off!
I don’t ask you, if
we were right in doing that or not, because no affirmation is needed, we were
right in what we said and did!
Concluding my story, I think it was nothing more than a
small incident, but what made our eyes roll were
First: They didn’t have proper reason to move us from there.
Second: Agreed what my friend said to the guard was wrong, but what about their
superior, who was himself drunk and was scolding us! Thirdly: what was milkman
doing their instead of sitting at his shop selling diary, and who was he to
command us?
Next morning neither did the guard recognized us, nor had
their chief and principal had got some better work to do, so since the story
had to be defined and justified, I wrote a blog out of it.
