The Baptism of I-420 or the April Fool that was never meant to be..

I slept at 6:30 am Saturday night (technically Sunday morning) wondering what would constitute as the bigger highlight of the day – the unexpected visitors at home or Impz (well supported by oily) making an April Fool of himself, over and over again !

It all started with impz trying to duck out of the poly’s plan and then we all were trying to make alternate plans i.e. shooters, shack, junior enigma or good old whiskey and water/soda at I-420.


Setting.

- Kaddz and me at niraxx’s place trying to figure out where to go
- Impz and Oily at I-420. Watching MTV Bakra for FOUR HOURS (please note!)
- B3 or Bong-Bang-Babe (pallo) in town .. to later join party at bandra or wherever.
- Gymbee reaching home after a tough day at work. Needs time to get ready and finish dinner etc etc
- Salary absconding as usual but later contacted and agreed to meet junta at Bloo Bark.

Frame of mind at 8 pm, Saturday night.
- Wacker thinking, after much deliberation and in-fighting, that it’s decided that we’re going to Shack! Or so he thought …. He has fixed up with B3 and she has confirmed her attendance.
- Kaddz assumed shooters and that’s what he communicated to impz when called ..
- Bong Babe not wanting to be alone at a pub, tried to hurry us up by messaging gymbee that she may not come. Or she was generally having second thoughts. Women !!!
- Gymbee was getting ready for junior enigma (courtesy earlier message sent by wacker). And thus was taking her own sweet time to get ready. Also forwarding B3’s ‘not coming’ message to impz and oily. And is in constant touch with impz on plans for the night.
- Salary, who has NO clue as to where the party is, gets ready for the night and plans to reach bloo bark
- And last, but not the least… impz and oily. After the intellectually stimulating MTV bakra, impz and oily have assimilated the above info in the following order :
Wacker says shack
Kaddaz says shooters
Gymbee is delaying to reach bloo bark and harping at getting to enigma as and when she arrives
Salary landing up with a WIDE grin, which (to them) means he is upto some mischief
B3 hinting at not coming to bandra for the party

Enter the over-analyzing brain of pimpo/impz. Coupled with the logic-less brain of oily, impz decides that we are ALL (wacker, kaddz, niaxx, gymbee, salary) playing a prank on him, esp since it’s 1st April. Oily feeds his suspicious mind which by now has moved into overdrive .

I enter the house and using B3’s reason of her waiting alone at bandra, try to get them (and me) to move out asap. And request oily to get ready first as I do not want to wait for him for hours to get ready. (and if oily delayed, I was prepared to call B3 and call off the plan!) However, both oily and impz are convinced that we are playing a prank on them and so I WOULD want to push the 2 of them out of the house without me. So my request to get ready later coupled with the SMS from B3 to gymbee to impz (read above) confirms their apprehensions.

However, we move to bloo bark and kaddz, niraxx and me leave for shack, leaving oily and scheming-impz to come with gymbee and salary. At bloo bark, while I wait for kaddz, oily tries to give those smart ones saying “try shooters.. he must have already reached there !” However, kaddaz arrives at the scene and we leave. In the rick I realize that kaddz wants shooters and we agree to go to shack instead. We message impz to come to shack and he says “I’m on my way da”.

Cut to bloo bark and they are waiting for gymbee who is getting delayed, inspite of being called every min. BINGO !! Enough material to titillate impz’s grey-turning-pink cells and decides that gymbee too is on wacker’s side and together they maybe at enigma, shack or shooters… anywhere !! April Fool !!! Enter Salary with his I’l-pimp-for-u grin and says “Whats the story guys”. JACKPOT. Impz is now tizzy and excited about his brilliant Sherlock-esque deductions and accepts that Salary too knows about this plan and with wacker and others will make a bakra out of impz. April Fool !! And now impz is patting his back at having figured it all out and exposing the prank plans. And junta at shack continues to get drunk.

Impz and oily pester gymbee to show messages from wacker to further deduce his modus operandi, all the while telling her to read between the lines and that wacker was trying to pull a fast one on her too ! And continue to interrogate salary for the same. To which he replies “zyada dimag nahi laganeka !” Impz and oily check junior enigma for kaddz, niraz, B3 and me. To them, I would have taken the rick and made a U-turn to go to enigma while I call them to Shack !!! Wah… what an april fool it would have been to play on impz and oily…. But that was not the way we all (sans impz and oily) were seeing it ! On gymbee’s insistence, they (salary, impz, oily and gymee) get to shack. They see me and kaddz and B3 and suddenly the entire evening whizzes past them. A April Fool that was never meant to be !!

It din’t end at the shack. No sir. It continued till 3 in the morning with impz thinking that oily has double crossed him and is in cahoots with wacker and is FINALLY playing a prank on impz. This part kaddz will tell – the baptism of I-420 and how this again fed impz with his April Fool paranoia.
