How to wake up an ISBian… the story of ‘the real M’!

Friday, January 20, 2006

As narrated by the plotter M2 :-)

************************

Time 4 am

As per real M’s request, R1 woke him up before he went to sleep. Real M informed R1 that he needs to wake me and R2 up before he starts his work.

Time 4:15 am

I reach real M’s room. He's fast asleep, doesn't seem to be the guy who called me at my room once to wake me up and one more time to check if I had woken up and if I was coming to his place.

When I reached his place, he called R2 to wake him up. R2 had not slept still. After informing R2 that I had woken up he replaced his phone and asked me to wake him up in 15 minutes.

Time 4:40 am

M2: real M, 15 mins over, wake up.

Real M: See dude, it takes 2 hours for me to wake up and get steady. I already woke up at 3 am. I'll be up and running in another 15 mins.

M2: Ok, cool. (thinking: This guy's awesome, he even plans exactly at what time he'll be up.) After sometime he gets up, goes to his living room where his quadies are discussing something. Looking at his state, they ask him what happened. He repeats the same dialogue above and comes back to sleep and asks me to wake him up in another 15 mins.

Time 4:55 am

M2: real M, 15 mins over, wake up.

Real M: Reality is actually between the two.

M2: What !!!

Real M: No, what did my quadmates tell you?

M2: Tell me? They didn't tell me a thing.

Real M: Ok, I was referring to that only.

M2: (Shocked).

Time 5:15 am

M2: real M, 15 mins over, wake up.

Real M: Personal interview, very important. I'm thinking about the possible questions. This is very important.

M2: !!?!!

Time 5:30 am

M2: real M, 15 mins over, wake up.

Real M: Do you think I am sleeping, I am fully awake. I'm thinking about the interview questions.

M2: (Trying unsuccessfully to suppress laughter) Ok. Do you have anything to submit today?

Real M: I had, but my group mate has completed it.

Time 5:45 am

M2: real M, 15 mins over, wake up.

Real M: (As if he's in full conciousness) Machi, don't worry about me da. Take care of yourself. I'll get up. I know I will.

M2: (Laughing uncontrollably) Ok.

Time 7:30 am

I'm in real M’s room. Real M is in deep sleep and heavily snoring, completely ignoring the fact that he had planned to get up some 4 hours ago. Without disturbing him, I take my things and get back to my room.

    This one was awesome!! Reminded me of the days in undergrad when half the wing was deputed to wake one fellow up and excuses flowed like anything.

    The one I can highly relate to: "Personal interview, very important. I'm thinking about the possible questions. This is very important."

    I've been doing it right from when my Dad use to wake me up for 10th class preps to this day.

    Waise, did you turn off the RSS feeds? It isn't updating at my end for some days now :(
