Vijay and his kukroo khoo alarm...

Vijay, mama and kaushik used to share one room in the first year. But, nothing common in their sleeping habits. If at all we need to make it to the classes early morning (9:00 AM is early, right?), especially to escape Govind Uncle's (yeah! Prof. Govindarajulu's nick name) bouncers in the next class, we needed greater coordination. So, Vijay had a deal with Sed and I (one of us, have to wake him up in the morning).

He has this wrist watch, with a built-in kukroo khoo sound alarm, hung to the bed and close to his head. I think Vijay has this frequency tuning on this alarm of his with his auditory system, otherwise even a person who's half sleep can't wake up due to the intensity with which it rings.

It's one of those days when sed tried his best and left. Now, it was my turn. I tried all the tricks I could to wake up vijay. But, I was not successful. Looked at his watch, I think it tried its best already, but to no use.

We see bajji mama entering the room, told him the situation and the need to wake up vijay. Mama decides to help us and shouts at his natural best (btw, did I tell that girl's hostel is just seperated by a compound wall from Vijay's room and is directly visible through the window?) with an intention to convey the message to the parties on the other side of the wall rather than to a 6 ft pulla rao (thin) body lazying around in bed, "Vijay, podduney tondaraga lechi chaduvukovaali annavu kadaa! ammayila kanna ekkuva markulu techu kunta annavu.... inka legava ledenti?"
Translation: "Vijay, you said that you'll get up early in the morning and study to get more marks than girls. Why didn't you get up yet?"

For this, Vijay gets up in a jiffy. From then on, he never asked us to wake him up, unless there is an exam. He just banked on his bed mate - the kukroo khoo alarm...
