My planned crime......



I think after reading Brijesh's blog I am inspired or rather have become bold to reveal the crime that me and my friends pulled off in my 6th standard, yeah I know that we were too young to plan but we planned it to perfection.....and never got caught....though i wasnt a part of lifting i was a part of the crime too.....

In 6th standard we used to have a craze (rather obsession) for collecting stamps, coins and currencies.....we used to literally bargain for exchanges....it was fun....i still have all my collection....we used to treasure triangular, circular, rhombus shaped stamps, rare coins and any kind of currency notes from foriegn countries.....at the peak of this collecting fad there was a stamp and currency exhibition in our school.....all the classes were given time slots to enter the exhibition hall and we were given the time after the lunch break....we were happy that we got a lecture off and that we could see some to the rare collection....two of my best friends...yes...at that age we used to have 3 or 4 best friends....that would just make the other person happy....hehehheh....thinking abt that makes me laugh even now....back to my two best friends in school.....they were collection maniacs......so they sneaked in with the other class during the lunch break and were blown away by the variety there.....there they found out that a student from the other class managed to flick a coin....so they decided that they will do that too....they came to me and said that they needed help.....I being a kind of quite and reserved (then not now!!!!!!!!) person was scared initially but they told me that they will do everything but I will have to hide the loot as i was the unsuspected person there.....all the teachers kind of liked me, though i wasnt a great student, so I was perfect person to hide things.....they came up with the plan to flick a circle stamp and an Indonesian currency note.....they had seem them on the previous visit and exactly knew where they were. So they came up with the plan that they will go in with 3-4 people between them....we were taken inside in a line...so one guy would slightly pull them out and the other will pocket it....but there was the catch....everyone was checked.....ok here was one thing that i could never understand....only the guys were checked !!!!!!!!!!! the girls were let off without even being questioned!!!!!!!!!! thats unfair. So now the problem was..where to hide the things.....they were thinking all kinds of possible places....but it will difficult to get to those places while in the crowd....so they were all eliminated.....shoes and socks were also checked....then I came up with the master stroke.....i asked them to stuff it up their ties!!!!!!!!!!!! they were shocked!!!!!!!! Suneel the calm guy came up with such an idea.....all this was planned during the lunch break.....then when we went in everything went according to the plan......they were out with loot untouched and unsuspected.....lekin woh time pe mera itna phata hua haalat tha....poocho mat!!!!!!!.....we were back in the class and they gave the stamp and the note to me.....they were really impressive looking.....I like a good boy put them in the brown cover of one of my books.....I used to cover all my books with a brown cover with my school logo on it and I also used to staple them so it was kind of difficult to push them in but once they were in there it was a perfect hiding place......

the missing stamp and currency note created a havoc in the hall.....the exhibitionist was furious and my class teacher tooo....she came fuming into the class and said that she was ashamed of us....then none of us came forward to accept the crime and the whole class said that we were all innocent....she said that she would agree with that only after checking all the bags.....here too the girls were let off without being checked!!!!!!!!!! very very unfair......she checked everyones bags....books....tiffin boxes....shoes....everything.....but she a few favorites in the class and fortunately i was one of them.....she just browsed through the bags of her favorite students and checked thouroughly in the others bags!!!!!!!! after the whole episode my friends had a naughty smile on their faces and i was shit scared and guilty......but they were my best friends so could not turn them in.....anyways....I was also a part of the crime so I kept my mouth shut.......welll...my friends exchanged those two items the next week (they were smart enough to wait that week).....and good a great deal.....they gave me a coin and triangular stamp for my help......I was very delighted with gift and I completely forgot abt the chori!!!!!!!!!! well....at that age and with the craze of coins and all that stuff i didnt feel guilty abt the incident at all and I completely forgot abt the incident in a few days time with the exams and all......now when I look back I feel kind of guilty for stealing something but there is also a joy that i was involved in a successful lift off that even the teachers could not find out!!!!!!!!!

brijesh.....thanx to ur crying episode that inspired me to relive the memories of the above incident.....I think i will list only this incident else mera poora history patha chal jayega.........hehehhe....just kidding.....I dont think I have any other incident even similar....I was shit scared that time in the hall that I never even tried to indulge in such activities.......just imagine????....what if we were caught!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....maa kasam.....sooch ke hi dimaag hat raha hai.....how could we face our parents?????
