Pure Magic

Eyes closed to savour the exquisite taste of pure chocolate.......Pure Magic.

This story goes really back in time;I was in high school then. It was Diwali eve, and we boys were bored as usual. Dinner was over early and we had our crackers opened up and ready. Me, Dj, Abhinav and Adi were busy discussing the events of tomorrow, Diwali, how we would go about firing up the crackers and how we would spend the day. I think it was the fifth time the only Rock cassette we had was playing over again, and I guess it was Metallica. The room was filled with smoke and we had nothing to do, when Adi got an idea. He wanted to crack some at Medi Point, that’s the Suicide point in my school. Well it was 830 in the night and it was really dark, we weren’t scared of the dark, but what lurked in the dark, Bisons…

It didn’t matter to us, anyway we had done this a lot times before, just another night. So we packed some of the crackers and our booze and cigarettes, and off we left for M.P. Once there Adi and DJ set up a bonfire and, abhinav and me were busy gathering twigs for the fire, and so the Diwali party had started early for us. We started the party by firing some rockets off from the edge of the Rocks at MP. Cigarettes were lit, and the booze was poured out. We stayed there till about 10-1030. It was getting late but none of us were bothered we were in our own merry world. Once the crackers were over, we decided to take the long way back to our hostel which didn’t go through the forest but took a long way about from the Guest house and Mess and then our senior hostel. Adi took the forest because he wanted to sleep. Dj at this time was really drunk; he couldn’t keep himself sober and kept on ranting about his girl, and how bad he wanted to wish her at 12 in the night. So, us drunk fucks came up with a plan, we would hang out near the mess till about 11:45 and go up to the girls hostel and wish the girls. Little did we know that we would remember this night for all our lives.Come 1130 and DJ was getting restless, so we decided to sneak up early and show the girls a little explosive action. We had like 2-3 bombs left with us, and we were in a totally fun mood. So the girls’ hostel which was on a hilltop opposite our school mess was scaled. We sneaked around from the back and onto the Badminton court just beside the girls’ hostel. Here we noticed that one of the top floor room’s windows was open and the girls were awake. We got this crazy idea of tossing bombs up there, but then an even better idea occurred to us, we found a rope and tied it to one of the bombs, and lit the bomb and threw it up to the window. The girls didn’t notice at first, coz it didn’t reach, thanks to me. Dj had a try and it landed exactly at the outer sill of the window, the girls noticed it and as they tried to reach for it to throw it back down, Dj tugged on the rope and kept it moving. Obviously the girls who hadn’t spotted us at all were scared shitless. This happened for about half a minute until the fuse of the bomb finished and off went the bomb, waking everybody in girls’ hostel. We scooted off to the back of the hostel, as the watchman came to check up on what had happened. He had a torch and we had no light to help us except for the lights coming from the windows and our trustworthy lighter. The badminton court was open area and we couldn’t make a run for it, so we decided to stick to the walls and slowly move towards the back of the hostel. As the torch light got nearer my heart beat faster, I was scared of getting caught, no way in hell I wanted to be expelled from the school for sneaking up to girls’ hostel. We just made it in time to the back and found a bunch of bushes into which we dived like a couple of idiots, not knowing what would be there. The bushes were full of thorns and my sweater was stuck in an awkward position and both Dj and Abhinav were in totally awkward positions. But somehow we managed to fit underneath one bush and the watchman passed us by without noticing us. So damn, lucky. Now that we had avoided being caught a new sort of adrenaline rush was pumping, yea the booze was acting up now. It was getting closer to 12 and Dj was getting desperate. At first we tried to throw stones at a window to talk to one of the girls to get Dj’s Girl. But no one would come near, I guess the news of the ghost bomb had spread throughout the hostel and the girls were scared.

Now it just gets better, Dj got out of the bush and went straight up to the main door of the hostel and started banging it. Our school Dance teacher was the hostel warden and Dj knew her fairly well, so it was all chill. The warden came out and asked us to sit down outside, she instantly knew we were drunk and not in our sane minds. But she was talking to Dj like they were bFFS. It was 12 and all the lights in the hostel were lit and everyone overjoyed it was Diwali and all the girls were wishing each other inside, our classmates came out and wished us, obviously they were shocked to see us there. Okay now at this moment, Adi who had gone back to our hostel had forgotten the keys with Dj, so he came back only to find the three of us at the gates of Shabari (the girls’ hostel). He had no choice but to come up and take it because Dj just refused to either send me down with keys or come down himself. So Adi who was accompanied by Shanky and Pratik came up with them to collect the keys and yea he went down, nothing more. Dj now was pleading to the dance teacher not report us, and she was all supportive. We wished whomever else we knew and made our way back down, this time we took the official route down.

Next day She gave us Pure magic Biscuits, The Princi called us and we had a Disco for 2 days straight with our parents being called and informed and we almost faced expulsion from the school but luckily we were spared. Craziest night ever, and just proves the whole point of the blog.... She Gave Biscuit.(Always)
