A Surprise backfired.. But ended well..


Well ever experienced your plans to surprise some back firing on you and leaving you dumbfound and not knowing what to do? Well something similar happened to me and a group of friends who were planning to surprise a close friend of ours who was having his b'day.. being the kingpin of the plan i was almost left with a red face..

The friend was had come back from a class trip and was down with heavy fever. basically he robbed us of the opportunity to surprise him in college bus as well as in the college. We planned to meet up go to his house and surprise him at home. Everything was set. 3 of us brought a cake and a cold drink bottle and went to his house. We had called him on another pretext previously and he said he was at home was watching the cricket match between India and Sri Lanka and will be at home anytime. We reached his home, silently opened the gate, parked our vehicles, climbed the stair, stood outside the door of his house and silently removed our footwear and took our positions. Inside the TV was blaring the cricket commentary at full volume, the door was ajar.. We counted 1..2..3.. and burst in.. only to find aunty staring back at us wide eyed. Seeing her expression , i thought if she had not seen us before she might have shouted "thief thief". We were rooted to the place, some how managed to get back some composure to ask where he was gone and the reply was "Some of his friends had come, he has gone out with them for an Haircut."

We got down and were planning for our next move while aunty was calling him trying to somehow get him back home. While we were downstairs planning what to do next, the plans randing from dragging him from the hair saloon to putting a bucket of water on him the next morning, we heard a movement near the gate. We saw a group of people tiptoing in, and we realised that we werent the only fools thats day. :P Now the total number of fools had increased to 10 and we called him direclty and angrilly asked him to come back home. Usually in surprise b'day plans cake is a problem, but in this cake there were 3 cakes whereas the b'day boy was missing.. Nice irony.. Finally the gr8 man arrived and got a huge number of b'day bumps and finally we got him to his cake(s) and made him cut it, thus ending a surpise party which had began on an embarassing note on a high one(India lost the match that day though).

Though the actual plan backfired, the output was obtained.. :) reminds me to be extra careful when planning something next time.. ;)
