The Great Biscuit Robbery Episode
It is well known fact that our mess food sucked big time! (Kev and Sujit might have a different opinion) Pained by the quality of food served by the mess-wallahs and the ridiculous amount they charged for it, a small clan was formed in our batch who were lifting petty things (like chips, biscuit packets etc.) from the mess. A rookie was trying to cut into this clan and wanted to prove his talent and show how good he is at this extreme craftmanship. This story is about that rookie.
It was midnight and there was big group watching some movie in Anil's room. Feeling hungry, the rookie and I decided to buy some stuff from the mess. We went there and found the short and stout mess owner sleeping. So, I got some chips and put the respective amount on his table. The rookie was standing there for a moment and I could see him cooking up some crooked thoughts. Suddenly, he grabbed a biscuit packet, put it in his pocket (it was half visible) and began walking. His face was filled with sheer joy and looked like a celebrity walking down the aisle after receiving an award. But he was apprehensive about the caterer seeing his half visible pocket. Anyways, he came to the room and boasted of his debut. Everyone complimented on his efforts. The clan members were also happy and were ready to recruit him. We praised the rookie for some time and then got engrossed in the movie which was running.
Few minutes passed by and we hear a door knock. From the window we could see a short and stout guy and alerted the rookie that it was the mess owner. The rookie was panic stricken and said "rey choosesaadu ra.. ippudu ela.. nenu bed kinda daakuntaa.. nenu lenu ani cheppandi.." (Translation: I think the caterer saw me.. Now what! I will hide under this bed.. Tell him that I am not there). We were also somewhat worried and opened the door slowly. Suddenly, everybody in the room burst out laughing, but the rookie was clueless about the change of mood in the room. He peeped out from under the bed and to his surprise, he found the short and stout guy to be Kev. Seeing this, he heaved a sigh of relief! We had sooo much laugh that night and made fun of the rookie.
Believe me, he stopped entering the mess premises for more than a month fearing his indictment. But finally, he was recruited by the clan and was commended for the courage he showed that night! (Hey rookie, if you are reading this, pls don't curse me. I thought your efforts are worth putting them here and what you did is not all that bad either)

Are you sure that it was Anil's room. I remember it's Ajay's (Abay) or Sed's room.
