A small blunder

This is an incident that happened on the 14th of August 2009.

I think most of my readers know about the rules at Maryknoll hostel (PG - men). For those who are unaware of it, let me explain. Students are allowed to go till the college junction till 6.30 p.m. without permission. If anyone has to set foot outside that or be a minute late, you got to get prior permission from Fr. James, the hostel warden. If you are unable to see him personally and take permission, you can write a permission letter and slide it under his door. So thats the rule.

Now, let me introduce you to the key character of this incident Mr. avn (fake name). He is smart and talented, the person who usually comes up with killer ideas.

Now for the incident. A batch of students, including Mr. avn, on one fine morning decided to go for a movie. The theater is not at the college junction, so obviously, they had to take permission. But they couldn't find Fr. James anywhere. So instead they wrote a permission letter and slid it under his door. Now all set to go, the batch moves to the college junction to catch a bus. Oh !!! but thats when the bad news hits them. The movie they intended to see has moved on from the theater. With saddened hearts and heavy minds they all return to the hostel.

Now that they havn't gone for the movie, why leave the permission letter under wardens door. So they decided to take it back. But, how ??? Its under the warden's door. Thats when avn, as usual, comes up with a mind blowing idea. Put a hanger through the small space under the door and pull the letter out. Everyone agreed to that. Again avn takes the lead. He goes and brings back a hanger. And ya, they all are really cautious. First they ring the warden's door bell and waited to see if he was in. Since nobody came out, they set up security around the place. Some gaurded the stairs, others scattered around to see if the warden was coming. Avn lies down on the floor infront of the door and puts the hanger under it to search.

Now lets imagine. What would happen if the door suddenly opens and the warden comes out of it ??? What would that look like ??? What would our poor avn do ??? Anyways thats exactly what happened in the next few seconds. Nobody knows why the fr. James didn't come out at the first place. Anyways, when he appeared at he door, the gaurds ran for their lives. Poor avn, lying down on the floor, couldn't even nudge. The rest of it is hear say. I am not sure, if its true. Its goes like, avn held on to the wardens legs and asked for his blessings. Whatever it was, all the hostelites had a nice time discussing it later.
