CHAPTER #1
Preetis Popat in Manipal
It all started when our papers got selected at the national conference at Manipal. We reached udupi stn abt 6am in the morning and had to catch an auto to the Campus.. So it was written online that it would be Rs.15 by auto from station to the campus. So we went to the auto walla...
Preeti: "Manipal Campus jaana hai.. kitna hai??"
Autowalla:"Rs.80"
Preeti:(with loads of confidence) "KYA?? HUMLOG BAAHAR SE AAYE HAI ISILIYE ULLU VULLU MAT BANAO.. HUMKO PATA HAI KITNA PAISE LAGTA.. Rs. 15 SE EK BHI PAISA ZYAADA NAHI DENGE"
Autowalla(totally bewildered): "uummm... aaaahhh..." (then finally nods his head saying no)
So now we decided to call the guy incharge of the conference.. Mr.Mohan Kumar.. (whom we sooo lovingly called Mr. Manmohan :P n i always called Manoj Kumar :P due to my short term memory) note tht it was stil 6am in the mornin...
Preeti: "Hello, Mr. Mohan Kumar, m preeti ........ & we r @ udupi station and catching an auto from here to campus but the autowalla is charging Rs.80 where as site said nly Rs.15"
Manmohan: "uurrrgghh... what??? whoo??? heinn??" (obviously grasping for words in his deep slumber)..... "haan.. yaa... udupi.. ZZzz... uhhh... no its Rs.80 from udupi station.. Rs.15 from Manipal Bus stand.."
*Preeti(in her mind) - WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT??? HAAAAN KYAAAAA????*
Preeti: "oh.. ok"
now we went bck to the autowallas n somehow the same autowalla ws there (with what looked like a smug grin on his face).. so we sheepishly went to him and said "Manipal Campus"
lol... itna popat kabhi bhi nahi hua tha!!! :P
However it was a great story to recal everytym we haggled with a autowalla!

CHAPTER #2
Prinikas popat over Cherry
Ok, so it was 2nd year and i had found a guy, @r]un ("heavily coded" for safety sake :P lol..) to gawk at (hwever as i was incredibly "shy" i never tld him or had the guts to speak to him n forever admired him) :P
so now we(phew ppl) were as usual talking at the 2nd floor terrace and....
Jas: "arre yaar mujhe Anant se receipts lena hai... maine ab tak nahi liyaa"
Kunjal: "Arre y dont u go take it fast.. u wil get a chance to meet him also na ;)"
(Jas had a crush on Anant as well :P)
Me (in a bombastic voice): "Arre.. u are not seizing ur opportunities... this is such a good chance.... if it were me.. n i had to meet @R]UN naaaa then i would have immediatly ran to him..............."
Jas (loudly): "HIIIIIII @R]UN"
Just then i turned back to see him standing just few steps behind me!
DAMN!! Was I in for the shock of my life!!! My face turned RED/CRIMSON and my knees shaking wildly! and he was looking right at me.. All i could do was turn... and run straight to the ladies restroom!!!!
Til this day i dont know if he had heard me! However i made it a point never to take his name out loud ever again! :P

CHAPTER #3
Shubhas popat drinking incident
Now, it is pretty well known in our gang that shubha has quite a "drinking problem". It isnt tht serious as every other normal person might think though! Its just tht, this female wants to drink some juice or things like that very often! :P
So, it was around shruti's birthday, and she was planning to give us a treat @ this place in ghatkopar (which has d most AMAZING falooda's) and shubha was particularly VERY happy becoz she as usually was getting to drink something!! Infact on our way there (note that shubha was skipping along with excitement) we met our friend Chirag who asked "Hey tum
log kahan jha rahe ho??"
Shubha(with great alacrity): "Hum log PEENE jha rahe hai!"
Chirag:"Ummmm :P ok!!"
We finally reached the place (thankfully we dint meet any other friends on the way :P hehehehehe) and sat there ready to place our orders. Myself, Shruti, Kunjal and Mayuresh played safe n ordered the faloodas but Shubha.. the renowned R&D head of our phew gang ;) was in a mood to experiment.. she first called the guy who took our orders & asked him to explain what all the different juices (with the weird names) actually were.. He answered few with patience but finally obviously started getting irritated by the billion questions.. Then finally she saw the name "STRAWBERRY BLOSSOM"... now a name with such beauty.. how could one resist it!?? so she asked....
Shubha: "Ye Strawberry Blossom kya hai!?"
The order guy: "Bahut sahi hai madam... usme strawberry juice hai.. icecream hai.... bahut hi acha hai!!"
Shubha:"Haan tho mein wohi leti hoon"
So, we all got our orders (except for shubha as she was the last one to order) n were enjoying our faloodas and finally shubha "strawberry blossom" came in.. It looked veryyy beautiful! Baby pink in colour in a tall glass with a tall straw.. anybody who saw it would feel like gulping it
down..... so shubha went ahead with a BIG smile on her face n took a BIG sip and.......
Shubha: ":-& eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww"
(the BIG smile shrunk into a BIG twisted expression)
All of us (in unison/ surprised):"Kya Hua!!!???"
Shubha:"Its sooooo sour!!!!!"
LOL!!!! Her expression was priceless!! She finally had to gulp down that stawberry blossom by taking huge sips of our faloodas in between to save her taste buds!!! Ever since each time
she hears the name "strawberry" or "blossom" she makes sure to stay clear!!! :P
and we still doubt that the order guy made it extra sour as revenge for all the questions she asked!!!
:P

CHAPTER #4
Kunjals Popat in front of RAJ
Our phew gang is such that we just can't sit in the class all day.. Thus as every lecture gets over... we jump out of the class as soon as possible to chat outside.. and go back into the class only 5-10minutes after the prof has gone in..
On one such occasion... we had just jumped out of class after a realllly boring lecture! So as usual we all went out.. and the next lecture was of this professor R.A.J (who btw is like a guest appearance in our colg coz she hardly comes and even if she does come to colg she just roams around forgetting to go to her own lectures... and even if she takes the lect its of
no use as no one understands!! :P )
Anyways so we all were out of the class and were standing in the corridor just outside our class.. just then...
Kunjal (who to all profs "appears" to be the most studious girl in the class... :P infact she is the nly hope for profs as she is the only one who listens even if the whole class is sleeping): "Arre yaaar... Hum yahaan kyu khade hai!?? Woh RAJ aayeegi tho hume class me jaana padega!! Chalo naaa... Kahi door chalte haiii"
Just then RAJ came past behind her and turned to look at her and smiled her wicked smile!!
We all were frozen in our paths :P kunjal esp!
The minute she was out of ear shot we burst out laughin! n poor kunjal she was in a fix betwn laughin and a heartattack! :P
Guess poor RAJ also got a shock.. as the only studious girl in class also wanted to escape her lect :D

CHAPTER #5
Mayus Popat over $#!V@^!
It had become a "tradition" among us to msg small information like - "hi" or the famous (nly during exams) "kitna hua padke?" - as a Post Script of any normal Forward msg... This ws to vasool-ofy our msg space ofcourse..
So once, Mayuresh sent me a nice forward msg during the exams however as a Post script he added the information "HEY FATTY (his usual notation for me :P) KITNA HUA PADKE??" I replied and we chatted over SMS for sometime and then got back into our studies..
After a while as he got bored studying, he decided to send the same nice forward to $#!V@^! (name agn "heavily coded" for security purposes :P and this is also the same girl we often link mayuresh with! :P )
So he sent it to her..... and guess what!!??
He forgot to edit/deleted the Post Script!
So the msg stil read "HEY FATTY KITNA HUA PADKE??" at the end!!!!
LOL!! After tht msg he had to send a "Sorry" msg to her...
However he never got a reply from her... for a whole week! :P
The heart broken guy made sure to double check while Post Scripting since! :P

CHAPTER #6
Shruti's popat over dumbcharads..
Once myself, shruti and kunjal were finding it hard to pass time during break as none of the assignments had shown their faces which could have won the race against our time and kunjal was already done with the descriptions of her enjoyment in her relative's marriage.. So we were busy thinking a way out to kill this time.. suddenly an idea clicked to kunjal.. dumbcharads being our trademarked game had caught her attention amongst all the enjoyments and had come up with few difficult movies which she claimed to be tough.. we couldn't help scorning.. i was like" tuf? and for this phew gang? huh... never!!!" and shruti was chosen to enact.. Now a count of 3 for dumbcharads means a giver, an actor and a guesser... shruti started with her word count act which was easily guessed.. then she started staring around.. i wondered what she was staring at.. but later on it hit me that she was hunting for splits and actions... I was initially amused by her confusions.. but later on started feeling pity.. but soon, much to my relief she came up with some action.. but i couldnt relate.. finally she had to come up with more and more actions which ultimately turned out to be wild :O the vigour almost made her forget that she was enacting in a class which had patel group sitting beside.. even those people started watching her perform... but sadly she had more of 'nahi's and 'haan's.. for a moment i felt even kunjal would have blamed herself for putting shruti in such a dilemma...We all were surprised to see shruti's new avatar.. after reaching the saturation level.. she started laughing loudly and got tears in her eyes.. and i bet the tears were both of fun and saturation.. patel group who were all these time watching curiously turned their heads losing hopes of shruti enacting it... finally seeing her pathetic condition we decided to come to an end of this free show...
It was definitely worth watching shruti in such a form... :D
