Prabodh's birthday

There's a really big gang of people from Andhra in our batch....and yesterday, the 18th happened to be the birthday of one of my friends, Prabodh....

Prabodh is a strange guy....sleeps in class, suddenly wakes up and answers questions, springs up surprises in tests, but he is a hardworker, mind you....

At around 12 o clock, there was a huge commotion near the college grounds....around 40 guys had gathered there and were whacking Prabodh left and right...i could hear the screams from my room....
I didn't want to miss the fun...so i started running from my room and the momentum carried on until my foot landed firmly on his bums....that really was a sound whack!!!

Our college happens to have a pond within the campus....recycled water from the nearby companies are pumped into it....although it looks clean from the outside, it is frog's heaven literally!!!

As a part of the Birthday rituals here, the b'day baby is immersed into the holy water...(we call it the 'Holy Dip') around two or three times...

After all the beating up, Prabodh was taken to the pond and after sounds of 1, 2, 3....a loud thud and some splash...he landed in the center of the pond..he came back shivering...then a bottle of thums up was opened and sprayed on him...and then the cake came splat on his face....

The custom with telugu guys is that one more lamb has to be thrown into the holy water at a birthday bash...this time, it was the turn of my friend Chandrasekar K....he was enjoying all the fun watching from a corner and suddenly, 3 guys appeared out of nowhere and threw him quite some distance...the whole gang was squealing was laughter and my friend was dripping with smelly water....

Both the guys had a bath and then Prabodh cut the cake....I was supposed to study for an SQL test today...but had a great time partying with these guys upto 2:30...slept for 4 hours and woke up, went straight to the exam hall...couldn't understand what i wrote....compensated for the loss of sleep in class....and then boarded the bus in the afternoon....and now I'm home!!!!
