The SPARK UNPLUGGED !

There are some moments in life you love being a sadist , more so if you become the architect (in this case unintentional)of the sufferings of the party affected. Certainly I do not regret being part of one such 'mischief' , the result of which blew up to immense proportions that I could not have imagined in my wildest of dreams.It happened during my class 12.

There were two factions within the science group( of course without any ideology). On one side was the 'White pig'(hereinafter referred as WP), 'Bombay brought up'(hereinafter referred to as BBP) and Najafgarh boy(hereinafter referred to as NB). The other side had 'Bad No Marks Jokee' (herinafter referred to as BNMJ)' , 'peter drucker(hereinafter referred to as PD)' , 'Deep Mud( herinafter referred to as DM)' Etc etc..

It had been common knowledge that 'WP' and 'BBU' had an affair which came to light by their 'Joint Account' at the 'Bhai shop'. Bhai sold items on debt to students. So if you buy cool drinks with 'Bhai' on debt , he would promptly note it down in his diary against your name column. He would tolerate upto 2 weeks of non payment or Rs 100 whichever was earlier.

We easily knew who had crush on whom by simply checking out which boy cleared the debt for which girl and vice versa. However 'WP' and 'BBU' went a step ahead and created a joint account.Oh what innovation!. Both of them could buy stuff from a single account and both of them could settle the debt to that 'account'.An open proclamation of their relationship indeed.

I guess 'BNMS' had a crush on 'BBU' which caused a rift between 'WP' and 'BNMS' who earlier where close friends.It in the end proved out to be the EP( remember oram po)friendship. I am not exactly sure of the root cause of the problem between those two camps but 'we' made sure that they did not patch up their differences in the future.How sadistic !.

The 'commerce' group is generally given a step motherly treatment in schools.In our case to add to the 'step moms' , we had irritants in the form of students of 'science' group and especially the Computer science group. They did what exactly Manthara did to Kaikeyi. We had been patient enough.It had to burst.

It happened on a fateful afternoon outside the school campus in the parking lot.We managed to sneak out after a test at school. I still remember a 'gang' of six standing around a motorbike and discussing plans to do something mischievous. It was Myself, Rama , Shravan , R , Vinoth and Kumar having round 'bike' conference. The 'board' passed a resolution of removing the 'spark plug' from 'WP''s vehicle. It was Rama who had to remove the spark plug and R had to Watch out . Others had a tough job of keeping quiet.

Rama did it without any fuss.We dispersed.

'WP' came out of school around 3 PM. She tried starting her TVS Champ for twenty minutes before deciding to drag it to the mechanic shop situated 2 Kms away . I suppose the mechanic told her that it was a clear case of 'sabotage'(for she had no brains).

It all started there. 'WP' thought it was done by the other 'camp'. The other camp were annoyed. Each camp arranged for a 'Goonda' group. There were enormous amount of money spent.If any individual of any camp was caught alone , he or she would be hurt to such an extent that they would not be able write the Board Exams. Each day there would be atleast 3 persons who would do an 'Erik Solheim' and be unsuccessful.

The tension within those two camps was entertaining to the core.The joy of watching them clashing with each other gave us immense pleasure. 'DM' was severely injured in one of the 'battles' and police had come to school and started investigating. The clashes died down a bit during exams and I heard from someone that the Fight is still on!.

Maybe this is what they call as the 'butterfly effect'. A simple act of removing the spark plug caused a huge chaos. All these years , our act has remained a secret. None except the six of us know about it. Here I am posting about it hoping that the two camps never read it.
