This incident is pretty recent compared to the other pranks.
(for other pranks,-> Pranks )

This one took place during 1^st year engineering at NITK Surathkal. It was a Saturday night, of the rainy odd semester. I was at my friends’ room. Makarand and Aditya’s room. Well, their room was in the 2^nd block, and mine in the 1^st, and I spent most of my time in their room with them. That night we went on chatting till it got late, so I decided to sleep there itself. Both their beds were joined and that gave the 3 of us enough space to sleep. So eventually Makarand fell asleep, like he normally doesn’t stay up till late. And Adi & I were chatting away into the night. At around 1.30 am or so, I suddenly got the itch to pull a fast one on Maku. I didn’t know what to do, but just wanted to do something.

And then I pulled down his pants to his knees.

Yes, I did it. And No, it wasn’t a gay act. It was just a prank. I pulled it down and Adi & I started laughing, controlling our laughter, muffled, so Maku wouldn’t wake up. But this wasn’t enough. I pulled it down even more. Slowly. Makarand not suspecting a thing! I kept doing this at short intervals of time. Lower a bit, and then laugh away. Lower a bit, and then laugh away. Finally the pant was nearly removed. Just needed to be tucked off the fingers. So close! But it had to end.

Maku suddenly got bitten by a mosquito on his thigh. And in his sleep itself, he swatted it with his hand, slapping his bare knee.

1…2…3…4…5…

:O

Makarand gets up all of a sudden, mouth wide open, looking down at his pelvis, wondering where his pants are, then noticing them at his feet, pulling them up, which was difficult and totally stunned with what’s happening.

Then Makarand turns his head to look at us, we who are pretending to be fast asleep, pulls me by the shoulder, and asks me why I did it. C’mon Maku, look at your face in the mirror. This is exactly why!

Then Makarand was livid with anger, he got up, wore his vest, separated the 2 beds leaving Adi and me to manage ourselves on one. Then he stepped out of his room, to go to the loo. Now opposite to Makarand’s room was this Gujju dude, who sat till late with his friends, playing carrom. So he sees Maku coming out at past 2 am, smirks and says, “Kya Buddhe, neend nahi aa rahi? Buddhape mein neend kam hi aati hai” (What old guy, not sleepy? In old age, one seldom feels sleepy). This pissed off Maku all the more, for Maku was very punctual in going to sleep early and he really slept well. Well, Maku just ignored us for the rest of the night. And I shamelessly kept giggling on the other bed.

Makarand was not angry anymore the next day. He was totally normal. I apologized of course. But I really didn’t improve after that. (Notice the shamelessness in admitting this as well).

Laughed a lot that time. And the Gujju guy still calls Maku an “old guy”.
