Kiruba’s alleged retirement reminds me of something I tried to pull off in my younger days.
It was graduation time at IIML. Convocation was next day and we graduates had to go through a rehearsal to make sure that nothing went wrong. It was nothing great – we had to bow to the chairman, then walk a few feet, bow to the chief guest and take the diploma. But it so happened that one of the class missed the rehearsal. His name being Abhay he was supposed to be the first to take the diploma (It was in alphabetical order). So he asked me. I told him what to do, but I added that after receiving the diploma, he was also supposed to bow to the audience.
If I had left it at just that, I might have pulled it off. Others might have followed him, leaving the profs baffled. But my creativity carried me away. I told him “And then when you are bowing to the audience, the chairman will give you a kick in the butt. You will fly off the stage. That way, the headline in tomorrow’s newspaper will be ‘IIML convocation kicks off to a flying start'”
Anyway, the point of the post is that when trying to pull off a prank it is always difficult to resist the temptation of giving it away by making it too unbelievable. If Kiruba is pulling off such a prank, he has done it well. But then, too preoccupied with Google Adwords?
And does a Blogger owe any kind of responsibility to continue blogging?
I do not understand the idea of announcing “Am bored”. Pulling the plug would have been a better plot.
I exactly felt so after knowing that it was an april-fool post.
and added my thoughts in the comments section of the post too asking if they were all made up, what abt the thing that he is preoccupied with google adwords etc..
Same pinch.. :))
