The story is about five clowns studying in the 'Blah Blah' Nursery of 'Chori'-craft and 'Chori'-zardy. The Nursery is run by the greatest Choris of all time. In an effort to Chori innocent people and to make this world more chorifying, the 'Blah Blah' Nursery has a grueling 4 year 'Chori' course. There are so many disciplines of chori run by different Chori- OD's. Basically they are same - like colored water. Then when they reach the final sem of the final year after 3 and 1/2 grueling years of chori, the students have to face the 'mother of all chori's' - 'The Project-ion'.
The five clowns (protagonists of our story),founding members of the cult 'Group 4', are described below. Unlike the chori, the clowns are simple people who want to bring happiness to the world. Their only wish is to escape the 'Blah Blah' Nursery without any loss of self-esteem.
'
Persistent Leader' - The master deceiver. He uses his straight face to befriend 'Chori' mongers. This has saved the cult in quite a few occcasions. But honestly he is a 'klay'.
MR Business man(
BMR) - He is the echo of the cult and uses his facial muscles nonchalently. The obvious listener may be confused beyond means. He is a passionate runner and is said to have a keen interest in shoes.
The Charming Princess - Good looks and raunchy jokes apart, the guy has a special abilty to charm people. But it works more at getting additonal (and totally undeserved) se'x'ional marks rather than dates with his countless girlfriends.
The smart A** - Descriptions are know to vary.
Kidu - So Says Himself" - A person who likes to think he looks good. While he is a 'pulli'
(read:Tiger) he can turn into a totally different person on wearing a red hat. Now seems totally committed to pass his GUPPLI'S (or GUPPLEMENTARIES). Even despite much hardship, he continues to fail in subjects including 'Dictation', 'Walking with toes pointed forwards' and 'Talking using Two letter English Words'.
Chapter 1 - High hopes
In order to pass the degree, the clowns were supposed to do a 'project-ion' in the final semester. It was then that the 'Group 4' decided to do their 'project-ion' in some industry. 'The Charming Princess' was given the task to find a suitable place. After all he is the Master of 'Project-ion' rght?? Thus the Clowns find themselves staring into the gates of Cowputra.
Now Cowputra is one of the premier institutions in the whole nation. Their expertise include aiming certain pointed stuff at sky and 'bang'ing them half way through thus loosing millions of rupees in process. They are also know to help students with the 'project-ion'. Students who have their 'project-ion' at cowputra is said to have an enhanced (or high profile) project-ion which will later help them to find jobs. They were told by the 'Blah Blah' that better project-ion means better job prospects.
Thus the 'Group 4' spend around 6 months working on their project-ion. Now the process of project-ion in an industry is very different from individual 'project-ions'. The better part of it is done in front of the gate. The usual project-ion needs atleast a 2 hour wait, while the gaurds there discuss about the security concerns relating to the cowputra. I mean if someone infiltrates the facility and made any changes to the pointed stuff. Then it may
NOT 'blow' up half way through. Oh!! That must be scary. IT may actually reach the target - Gee that is a big dissapointment. Oh wait May be they are afraid someone will steal the research material - Oh as if the whole world is intrested in knowing how to 'bang' half way through the projectile.
Chapter 2 - Back at Blah Blah
Aah Yes the 5 clowns are required to give a status of the 'project-ion' in a review back at Blah Blah. Around half way through, suddenly the people at Blah Blah say that this is not enough. We will only get less credit, because apparently our individual contribution to the 'project-ion' not good enough. Apparently they wanted 'project-ions' to be more 'Hands on'. Infact in our selected discipline they like to get our hands dirty so as to say:)
Chapter 3 Between Blah Blah and Cowputra
In an effort to work with their hands and increase the profile of their 'project-ion', the clowns started to work even more. Another 3 months they toiled. They went to places, visited more nurseries, talked with lots of people on how to increase (the profile of course!) of our 'project-ion'. Finally They included an analysis of the projection, some comparison between local and cowputra material used for project-ion and even some hand on approach. All seems to go well.
Chapter 4 WTF
Phone Ringing
CA: You cannot achieve 'project-ion' here.
Persistant Leader (PL): But Why sir?? We tried for 6 months.
CA: Your time was 6 months. u need to extend the date to do ny more project-ion
PL: OK Sir! We will extend the date.
(The clowns spend another 2 weeks trying to extend the date and paid around 12500 Rs in the process)Phone Ringing
CA: We cannot extend your date!
PL: But Sir!! Why??
CA: There is a directive banning any more 'Student project-ions' here.In Industry these things are important. So U have to go.
PL: But Sir! We have almost finished our project-ion. But we need your certificate to validate it.
CA: We will think abt it
(After another 2 Weeks)CA: Sorry But it is not possible.
PL(Fed up): OK Sir! Can we have the money back??
CA: Sure But we will take some time to process it. Also we are busy this time around. We got a 'miss-ile' to blow up half way through.
(It is like you are about to Bang and they say Stop!! Around 7 Months of 4play and suddenly they withdraw permission to do s'e'x. WTF!!)
FORWARD
The clowns got permission to do their project-ion in another industry. They need to start anew and finish the project-ion in 2 months time. Apparently this industry liked very fast project-ions. But then again at this point WHO CARES?? The clowns visited, called and pleaded for their money for another Month. Finally Cowputra agreed to give their money back. One fine morning when smart a** was sleeping.
Phone Ringing
Charming Princess: Get up! Come fast to Cowputra! They need all the people to give the money back.
smart a**: WHY the hell. Why cant they just give it to u?? IT is not like they are going to give suitcases filled with money.
CP: Just come fast !! Apparently this is how they do it in industries.
Smart a** reflecting: Aah So this is what industries teach us. WE learned more abt chori from 7 months of cowputra than 4 years in Blah Blah.
That noon the five clowns left the cowputra gate for the last time, their pocket 2500Rs a peice richer. For the first time there was a smile lingering on their faces!!
P.S. This story is not a comedy. The author never intended this piece to be comical. He may have intended to hurt few imaginary souls and sarcastically bash certain customs and institutions. Any comical gestures (mainly dry and sarcastic) are only means to achieve this effect.
P.P.S: The Charming princess is advised not to take this matter any further. The IRONBOX will be too hot for him to handle then.
