THE BSNL MIX-UP!!

This was something that happened to some of my friends a couple of months back. The exact venue would be Volvo Race Cochin;but the journey that led them there & back is of equal importance. Now the people involved can be divided into two groups: 2 from Perumbavoor(Friend #1 & Friend #2) & 3 from Edapally(Friend #3 Friend #4 & Friend #5)…of course ekm people will know better about the places..and now the story begins…
Friend #1 texts:”Da we are all set…gonna board bus..where should we meet u guys?”
Friend #3 texts back:”We will be at Edappally junction by 10…cum fast”
Friend #2 texts:”All right…we will be there”.. & he reflects:”damn..BSNL is fast these days..i wonder why people make gruesome comments of Suvidha…I sure am a fan of this wonderful scheme…gives me so much messages for my galfriend…now wait a minute..whom am I kidding…I don’t have a galfriend...anyways I sure am a fan of this wonderful scheme”….
If he would continue to be a fan or not he was soon to find out…
The Perumbavoor team reached Edapally at 10,give or take some minutes…met up with the rest of the gang..& they were off in another bus to the Cochin Shipyard which played the gracious host to the Volvo race…the journey was fine…each of em catching up wid other’s college life & stuff…& soon they reached the place..
Once there they started roaming around with the usual trademark malayali activities…like taking in the beauty of the nearby local & foreign birds..:P…& seldom casting their sights in the direction of the much awaited Volvo race…now the fact that birds tend to fly out in all the possible directions is a well-known one & the fact that the on-lookers tend to follow them is even a bigger one…as if to emphasis the given statement Friend #2 followed a pair of HOMING PIGEONS…he went on & on for such a long tym..by da tym he made an effort to turn his neck around & take a look..he ws amidst total strangers..knowing nothing abt the place he was frantic to the core…he did what anyone would do..took out his fone..now as an average malayali guy keeping a balance more than one rupee would be an insulthe looked around for a coin fone;but could’nt find dat either…so obviously he messaged each & every1 of them asking abt their whereabouts…he waited a full tension filled 5 minutes till he got the message…it was from Friend #4
It said…”Da we are at Edapally Junction…cum fast”
Friend #2:”wtf…how dare dey do dis to me…y da hell din dey inform me…suckers dun even hav balance 2 make a call…wait till I reach there & kick their asses…”…with anger swelling his empty head he managed to catch a bus in edapally direction assimilating all da possibly “holy words & holy actions” that he had to bestow upon them..he felt like he was in the bus for the whole eternity till he reached the junction…he got down & luked around..not even a single known face..he was enraged to the core..he went up2 a nearby coin fone & fumbled for a coin, inserted it & made the call…

Friend #5:hello…man where the hell have you been…we have been waiting like hell for atleast half an hour..
Friend #2:atheda pulle…I can see u guys waiting…thu…where da hell are you…I am at Edapally station as u guys asked me to come…
Friend #5:Edapally???...wt are u tokin abt..who asked you to go there…?
Friend #2:wt do u mean who asked you to go there…I got the damn mesg from Friend #4…giv him da goddamn fone..
Friend #4:dude wt mesg are u tokin abt?...i din send any at cochin..
Friend #2:stop the bloody game…I know u did…it read…”We are at edapally..cum fast”..i know enough English to understand dat 1 sucker…
Now at the other end there was howls of laughter…Friend #2 was perplexed..”what the hell is going on there…y r da losers laughing at me..so much for the bloody friendship”…jus den voice came in the other end..
Friend #4:eda mandankonapi…I send u that message when u guys started off from Perumbavoor..jus did as a cautionery measure so that if Friend #3’s message was lost in mid air atleast mine would reach…bt actually speaking it did..at the wrong place at the wrong tym..& sry my friend we cnt help laughing.. :P
Friend #2:err…hmm..ok…m gng bak home..cya guys sometym…bye
