The cracker which went offffff..! Nammooru…mysooru - 6

I guess it was couple of days after deepavali in 1995. We were in first semester… it was a quite morning as usual. We just had finished our morning break & were back in bench section (In first semester - bench section, we learn some basic skills like filing & learn to use some basic tools). Suddenly…DAAAM… there was an explosion..!! We knew it was inside the building but nothing seems to be happening…except for a thin smoke from one corner. Soon we realized that it’s a cracker which went off in one corner of bench section..! The fun has begun…!! Our GM Mr. Yeshwanth Rao was in 'blast area' within minutes & he summoned 1st & 2nd sem guys outside. His condition was till the 'culprits' were found we will not be let in. Well… we didn’t had any problem with that..! We were having fun… also we really didn’t had any clue of who might have done it.
Few of our seniors (2nd sem, 4th batch) were very sure that it was a work of someone from their batch, as only they had 'courage' to do these kind of stuff. But funniest of all was this… our senior Mr. Avinash, was appointed as DETECTIVE, by one of the instructor Mr. Nagendra..!! He used to come to us & act like Sherlock Holmes or Agatha..! Even he was sure that only 4th batch can dare to do something like this.
It went on till noon when we heard that the 'bombers' were caught. It was none other than our buddies Sunil & Arun..! I am sure few of our seniors, who were 'proudly' thinking it was their batch achievement, were shattered when they heard that the 'pride' went to their juniors, who had just entered arena..!! :)
I guess Sunil & Arun were still fresh of their deepavaLi, mood & wanted to have some fun @ collage too. So, they prepared a 'time bomb' with a "Agarbatti" & an "atom bomb" tied @ its end. They placed it under bench & were waiting for it to go off. Amrut Joshi wanted some "rest" from long standing @ bench & went to the same desk where the cracker was placed. So, he too got hint of what's going on.
The cracker went of as expected & it marked Vth batch's presence in Tool room… & also it inaugurate all the mischievous fun we had for 4+ years..!
