Here is the much awaited sequel. This is a perfect example of a practical application of DIFFERENTIAL THINKING (DT)
NOTE: this is a prank. DT can also be used for good purposes (which I am yet to find)
March 27th
With the second round of cycle tests just getting over, I feared my brains may get rusted. I realized tat it was long since I did something to kalaai others. But zeroing on to the person seemed to be a Herculean task. So I took out my mob, opened up the contacts and pressed "down" a random number of times... and lo.. it read "anu" (names changed to conceal identity). well.. I wondered..shouldn be tat tough a job. even had it been one, I wud luvvv it ;). I sent a msg " hey waddup?". this is a style tat I had till now not followed where mah usual is " hey wassup?". this was to give her a feelin tat it may not be me. me as in arun..msgin her. pat came a reply.."huh? wat suddenly??"
arun: nothin..just felt lik msgin u
anu:hmm..
arun:don mind if I ask u sumtin?
anu:ya go ahead..
arun:how many roses did u get on valentines day?
anu:huh?
arun:just reply..
anu:y dyu wanna knw?
arun:becos,i too sent u 1 but dunno if it reached u dear.
anu:wat the hell man?
arun:yes dear, I did send u 1. but u dint seem to acknowledge the very fact.
anu:wat nonsense..who is this? ( this is wat I wanted her to think..that someone else is msgin as though im msgin => 2nd differential)
arun:of course arun ram only..
meanwhile this conversation has been told to her best buddy rupa( different spellin na?? well again names changed!!)
rupa: hey tomo v have e mech clas?? (=> differential of rupa to find out if its really me who is msgin)
I avoided replyin to rupa to create more doubts in their minds. but I still maintained the image of an intelligent fraud.
arun:hey u tryin to test me??i know u asked roopa ( I typed the wrong spellin compoundin their doubts!). im arun oly
anu:hmph!
arun:so wats
anu:for wat?
arun:the red rose I sent u
anu:i dint get any
arun:oh! leave it.. now assume im givin u one.
anu: wat the hell man? im not interested in all this crap. better buck up n study for
arun: oh! sorry dear. good night!
end of conversation

rupa:wat?? u looked so innocent the next day..!
arun:ya..outclassed kamal la?? :)
rupa:thu poda! cha v bad! she was v upset all day! u fooled her eh?
arun:ya.. she was fooled then.. u..now!!
rupa:wat??
arun:HAPPY FOOLS DAY
rupa:dai! which is the truth?
arun:u being fooled now is the truth!
rupa:ayyo! ill kick u!
arun:haha..BULB
rupa:thu get lost!
end of conv
ultimately the girls were fooled! but more funnily they dunno where they are fooled. ie april fools day or march 27!
in a nutshell.. they still dont know if I really did it or not!
but there is something wat I call the PRESTIGE OF THE PRANK
it will all be a waste if they remain in the dark about the whole thing! not oly should I knw they are fools.. they too :)
so I went up and confessed the whole thing and they went back sadder but wiser!
they understood DIFFERENTIAL THINKING the hard way!
