The first one that comes to mi mind was "The Deutsche bank fiasco".....this was our 7th sem and we stiil had no idea of what was in store for us ( read as Rescission) in the upcoming placements. D* bank was not allowed to come on campus for some misdeeds it had committed in the previous years. so every year we used to go to a grand 5* hotel where the D bank guys would conduct a pre-placement talk ( nothing official about it) , but majority of the guys knew the competition was very tough and that there was a very little chance of getting into D bank. but the "High tea" follows
that too in a 5* hotel was the major incentive for most of us. we went had our stomach fill and then came back , then the next day some of mi friends hatched a plan to play a prank on Rakesh saini (the guy who never missed the hostel tea at hostel) so the plan had to be executed frm mi room "C-29" and rakesh room was "C-26" and the instrument was some fucha's phone ( least he knew the number), so we dialled his number...tring ..trimng
" hello is this rakesh (covering the phone with a towel), i am calling from D bank " ......the reaction " yes sir yes sir rakesh iam yes sir speaking"......
D: " ya we had called u to tell that ur resume has been shortlisted for tomorrow's ist round of interviews, u had come to yesterdays preplacemet talk right , hence the interviews aill also take place in the "central hall" where talk had happened (this was a blunder the talk had not happened in central hall but some other hall ....but apne excited raka ko ye sab kahan yaad araha thaaa) after some high level bakcoddi ...our raka was convinced that he had surely been selected ....the first thing he did after the call, could hear his door opening bang then .....i was somehow having the feeling that he was coming to i room ....so we quickly re arranged everything as if seeing some serial....thadakkk mi door opens ...." samraattt saaale dekhaaa DB main select hogaya, kal interview hain"......then i replied as if surprised " kyaaaa....kaise hua ...hadd hain yaar"

R: haan saale tum log mujhe c.hutiyaa hi samajthe raho main aisa hi select hojaungaa..
not able to stop his excitement, one of mi friends asked " abey aise kaise ho saktha hain tere resume main kyaa hain jo tuu select hogaayaa...(at this point raka suddenly had doubts for the first time for 2 secs how cud it had happend ....so i feeling that the prank could go wrong interuppted " arey hoga kuch achha sa project hoga jo unko acha laga hogaa, abey ye unique logon ko hi lete hain" ....to this raka felt all the more convinced and said " arey maine ek project kiya thaa summer main DMS se wo achha thaa shayad wo unnhein attract kiyaaa hoga kya pata"..to this came a confirmative nod from all of us " hmmmmmm hosakta hain"
"sahi hain bey ...congrats yaar"(but to tell u in iitD lingo it was "jhaantoosaa " project as told by one of mi friends. not fit to be even on any resume
"phoddena raka" ...."party chaiye humein tho badiwali"........came all the messages one by one . after this raka ran down stairs to take a suit from some friend...5-6 hours paased ...it was 8 in the evening and raaka was still preparing for the interview and we felt it was enough so i went in to tell him the truth and after i told him that we were playing a prank ...to our shock he spoke" haan saalon tum sab mere selection se jealous ho aur tumari sulag rahi hain ki mera kaisa hogaya....maine uskaa voice suna thaa uska same thaaa phne pe bhaag jaa yahan se tumari sab pata hain mujhe dont try to fool me ".....to this i was speechless....here i had come to tell him the truth and he is not ready to listen to it, even after one year of persuasion raka was not in a mood to listen ......so i left

One day passed, 2 days passed.....wisdom seemed to dawn on raaka .....but he didnt knew exactly who did the prank...and as a stubborn widow gave the choicest of abuses to the person who had hatched the plan...and the effect of his abuses....my offer got deffered by an year and two more got placed in the fag end of the year.....
