Birthday Blooper

I dont know how but I end up doing something or the other quite remarkable at each of my friends' birthday. No! No! Dont club me up with those who give a lot of thought & make the birthdays of their friends special in some way or other. I'm quite the other kind. I do something quite unintentionally and it just gives everyone a a good excuse to laugh whenever that incident comes up!

Let me tell you one of the most funniest incidents to have occured at a birthday!

This happened a year back. I was in hostel that time. In hostel, everything is different. the birthday parties are absoulte mayhem. Complete no-holds-barred apocalypse!! The more friends you have the worse your bday is... Thats the rule... and you cant do nething about it and everyone gets a chance to take revenge during the year! And people are left with cake on their faces rather than eating it! Its an all out war and the weapons are eggs, sauce, tea, juice, cold drinks, anything and everything... Creativity is your friend and sky is the limit!!

However this is an incident that dint happen at one of those mayhem-ic celebrations. We had a guy nicknamed 'Lalla'. One of the most boring personalities of all time! Probably could've won an Oscar for being the Most Boring Personality of All-time!

It was cake-cutting time. All had gathered around for the celebrations and just waiting for him to cut the cake. It would be safe to say that all of us were more interested in the 1-kg black forest cake! Instead of cutting the cake he was testing everyone's patience by just standing there holding the knife in his hand and talking something absolutely irrelevant. Then after almost eternity he starts with his characteristic "Haan bhai... toh cake kaat le kya hum?? Sab aa toh gaye naa... Hum cake kaat rahe hain ji... Pakka naa ki hum cake kaate... Kisiko koi problem toh nahi naa... Hoga toh bata do bhaiyya... (Snorting Laughter!)"

Now comes the interesting part... (This would've been in slow-motion had this been a movie!)His knife started off in motion towards the cake. The distance between the cake and the knife is just 6 inches. I think to myself I'm here just for the cake. I dont care a damn about this idiot & once the cake is cut I'm not gonna get anything!! I think I should just grab/snatch as big a chunk of it as I can... I assume that since the knife is in motion the cake will get cut and no one would realise that I ever grabbed the cake and in such a big crowd they would neways see just my hand!

I flick a huge chunk of the cake. Seeing my hand grabbing the cake all those notorious characters surrounding the cake follow suit! And 1 kg black-forest cake vanishes before the knife can travel 6 inches!!! There was no cake left!! Everything was gone... Lalla couldn't touch the cake with tthe knife forget about eating it!! and I fled from the scene of the crime... and then started off the "whodunnit!!??" trail... Most of the guys thought that it was Ganja (Baldy) who was standing next to me! But he knew and I knew what was the reality!!

I seriously had not imagined that something like this would happen! I just underestimated the power of union!! It's an incident that evokes instant laughs whenever recollected. No one feels sorry for what happened! It was all in good fun and I guess Lalla deserved it for boring the hell out of the people (this wasn't the only time he did that!) gathered there!

I did confess about my crime. Though privately! Since I deserved to get accolades for pulling offsomething like this!! It was a feeling that George Clooney and the team had after looting the casino in Ocean's eleven!I It can't be described but is certainly I enjoyed doing & everyone can have a good laugh! hahaha

Cheers!
