So..I was supposed to pick this friend up from the airport (I was also supposed to write this post last weekend). Yeah U know those friends of mine.. the ones working in America, making a lot of money, spending shit loads on gifts.. the same ones who come down to India once in a couple of years, so its reasonable to spend that much time with them.. u see..this tribe is the BMW driving...Uncle Scrooge kinda people for me heheh..
So this Friend of mine...lets call him S for now and for the length of this post, for some reason I think u guys are assuming that his name starts with S too... so be it.. Surprise..
Allright yeah, S calls me on my Bday sometime in May and tells me that he plans to come down to India...and hey this time he wants to keep it a secret..(im wondering why is he tellin me.. then I realise he is confident that I havent met his folks since the last time he was in India, so hell be safe telling me..hehe..reasonable argument) Nonetheless, the details I have are:
- S plans to book his tickets for Dec
- S plans to keep his dad in the loop (u know just in case no one from the family knows, they might go for a vacation, and he'll be stranded heheh.. to be safe)
Fast Forward to December first week. yeah that bad.. nothing in all this time about the secret trip..alleast from S...
Enter B..(friend no.2..who fucked it all up for me and S ..well alleast we thought so.. till we figured out otherwise)..
So B lands up one day on chat and tell me S is coming..( I wasnt shocked coz B and Me would know the same things from S at all times)..and that S's family knows already. Whhhaatttttt!!!!..Apparently B assumed that as usual S would go around telling everyone and wont keep it a secret all this time.. I did fall for this theory going by the records S has with Jay-talkin.. (yeah thats like Jay-Walkin).. So B goes to the extent of sayin S's sis knows and she spoke of S comin down to India.. Now I was fucked up..coz I had just signed up for something that wasnt as exciting as it was earlier.. this is like one of those offers you shop for and then conditions apply...
To give u a better idea, let me show you what transpired.. Here goes:
- me:im going to pick S up btw
as a part of the surprise - B: what srprise?
- me:areyy hes comin home as a surprise naa
supposedly they dont know.. - B: oh i didnt know it was a surprise
- me: haahaha
u told them kya
hhahaahahahaahahaha
that will be killer - B:he seems to think that its a surprise everytime he comes
but it never is
he himself told them he's coming - me: no this time his Mom and Sis didnt know.. or werent supposed to know..
- B: oh they know
- me: his Dad knew only
fucckkk... - B: i was talking to his Sis yesterday only
anyway, if they have a different dstory, i dont know
so dont mention it to them then - me: i volunteered to pick him up coz i thought his Dad would have to cook up a story to come and pick him up..as a part of the suprise.. so i told him ill come and keep the thing on..
i didnt know all this changed - B: ok
hahah - me: Screw up
- B: i dont know that its changed either
so u can stick to the plan - me: u said she knows
there is no plan - B: thats what i said
- me: im in deep shit
- B: so forget that and stivk to ur plan
- me: im travelling for no surprise
- B: anyway, dont spoil S's big surprise
- me: S is a cock.. if Sis knows it.. then all do by now
- B: so stick to the plan and hopefully his family will at least act surprised
- me: im the one who is being surprised
they will all laugh at me...
and fuck no lunch tooo - B: and even if they're not surprised, the look of confusion when he yells surprise for no good reason will suffice i guess what lunch?
oh ok - me: i thought they will be happy that i got their son.. and ill get good lunch
i think ill get slapped now
hhahahahahaha - B: :)
- me: i think even the watchman is gonna know that hes comin..
ill get slapped there itself
I guess you would have understood by now why I said B fucked it up for me..But then its kewl...After all of this I had given up hope on all the surprise..and everything that came with it..till a couple of days later when I again got a call from B.. tellin me it is still a surprise. fuck knows how he confirmed this.. but nevertheless.. it still was so..
So A day (Arrival Day).. I reach the airport..Pick him up..and then we talk... talk about whats the P.O.A (Plan of Arrival)..and I get to know that his Dad was still cookin up some story, and that S's Dad thinks S's mom and sis know it somehow..
I could feel my feet going lighter on the accelerator peddal.. Automatically..and I could hear the radio say :"Fuck It"
Fast Forward a few kilometers.. we are home.. S's home..
Grand Mom and MOm lives up to our expectations.. No No they didnt slap us.. they hugged S and were elated.. I actually confirmed this by askin S's Mom if she knew it.. she simply nodded.. Didnt know whether yes or no..
I think it all got punctured when Sis came home from work.. she gave it all flat out to us.. how she knew when S cooked up a story about his tickets being done by his company... Shhitteee...Now u know who the pot head is.. that Bum S.. he gave himself away tryin to build up a story... why cant u shutup and just come down...
How is a surprise a surprise.. if u say I am comin ... but I dont know whhat date.. to top it all uve already planned ur trip in India and made bookings for travel in India..hahahahaahah...and these plans and bookings include family tooo.... How kewl a surprise is that..
I still cant figure out what S was thinkin... in effect.. I ended up getting surprised how brain dead he was... and how smart his folks were.. and what an ass I proved out to be....
Shhhiitteeee.....
No surprises here on... Im done...IM DONE (Monster house style)
Till then..
For a world that surprises us..NOT!
