When u enter the I.J Patel LiAbrary of N.M. College of Commerce and Economics, somewhere just at the entrance is a prominent metallic plate, on whic are engraved the set of rules that we as students are expected to follow whilst in the liAbrary..... the first rule says: "Talking in the liAbrary is not permitted".... let me at the very outset make it crystal clear that nowhere is it mentioned that LAUGHING IS NOT PERMITTED..... as sincere and studious as we are, we spent 2 hours in the coziest corner of the library just scanning thru huge reference books (1 which i got only due to my superlative Marathi prowess..... i only had to tell the librarian - "Kaka, fee receipt gharee visarlo.... book dyaa nah..... asa kaay kartaat?..... magical words).... after 2 laborious hours of merely marvelling at the quantum of the F.Y. BCom syllabus and making mind-boggling discoveries), as a stress buster, one of my friends (who belongs to the same category that i do) narrated a rather grave incident..... an incident that was a prank that he played on one of his poor friends..... at the end of the narration, that received utmost attention (not even my ECONOMICS teacher in junior college received as much attention from me ever) there was an outburst of hysterical laughter..... so contagious were the viruses of the inane laughter that the entire library began laughing coz we were laughing..... and we in turn laughed again coz they laughed at us coz we were laughing.... little did we realise that our decibels would embarass Maria Sharapova and effortlessly outclass her grunts.... if that was not it, the vibrations sumhow managed to travel a floor down to the alert watchman.... d poor fella, to save his job sprints up to us and yells "AB AAP LOG BAHAR JAIYE.... YEH KOI HASNEKI JAGAH HAI?".... the guilt that was within us finally surfaced and we burst into another roar (but not as loud) of laughter.... there was not an iota of shame or disgust or remorse or any other such emotion that is NORMALLY potrayed!!.....

lol! my guess was right- ur "other friend" had to be RAMU...what was the joke anyway???
maybe all NMites cud write a book about the various ways in which we annoy the library staff & security - losing I-cards,hysterical laughter,using the cell phone...
it wud be a bestseller! :)
