PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

i'm sure all of you know what this stands for. it reminds me of the time i was first in the room when this guy along with two others was ragged in the confines of the bastion of the frighteners-kaprigudda mens' hostel.
that place can be quite intimidating from the moment you enter it to staying there for at least a year.
i was in the room where vasu, faisal and abhimanyu kar were. a kapri room then, (or now) is the size of a matchbox, cemented beds on either side, and a cemented table at two corners overlooking a square window. i saw them asking a few insignificant questions to aditya and anagh who were also in the room. cant say the answers were of any interest.
and then arrived this guy, and since he couldn't understand hindi, he appeared a mute spectator to what was happening most of the time...
it was then that abhimanyu kar said, "you", pointing to the guy: "take the stage", "act out a little drama".
it seemed as though he was proud to have heard the words. he stepped up to the middle of that tiny room, bare footed, on the red oxide and suddenly raised his hands to the sky, like a middle eastern prayer, and said:
"oh allah! the desert is hot. and huge. and endless. i need to cross it. please help me cross it!"
and then, he bent down, and touched his toes. and looked around at his spectators.
he then pointed to aditya, and said : "you, come here,and pray with me " and made him stand with him.
he then proceeded to raise his hands up in the air, telling aditya to do the same, and said:
"oh allah! the desert is so big and endless. please send me a camel. so i can cross the desert!"
he then proceeds to touch his toes. adi's eyes are still on the ceiling, so this guy makes adi touch his toes and act out the prayer.
meanwhile, the entire room is eagerly watching the scenario.
the guy(pointing to anagh) : "you! come here, and stand with me, and lets pray to god to send us a camel!"
the guy: "oh allah! please send me a camel so that we can cross the desert!"
and then, repeats the acts of arms stretched to the sky and touching his feet.
and then, this was what he said (pointing to anagh and aditya)
"oh allah! i asked you to send me camels! why have you sent me donkeys?"
there was silence for the next 30 seconds...

not one word did anyone say. vasudevan sir looked on incredulously. faisal seemed to have this look of bewilderment on this face.it was abhimanyu who broke the silence. he said:
"yaar! that joke put me into a coma man!"
and then, adi and anagh burst out into laughter that lasted a cool ten minutes... and so did the rest of them...
after this show, the guy was sent promptly back to his room!
