Phone Rings..!!
What if your your cell phone rings in the middle of a lecture, the professor is the Head of your respective department and is considered to be the ‘ Don‘ of the college ? Or when in between of a guest lecture from some IT company which is giving a presentation on the internship process??
I have a DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) guitar ringtone , which happens to be one of the most popular ringtones in my batch after this incident . This song really give me kicks !
I always love to have suttle ringtones , that have a “feel good” factor attached to it. My ringtones are always of those kinds that even if they ring , no one except me can hear them. Some times its a great excuse that i give to people whose call i don’t intend to pick up 
.
.But off late , due to a long weekend i caught up with some of my favourite movies which includes DDLJ too. The very next moment the movie finished i searched the Internet and downloaded the trademark ringtone and applied it with full volume and enjoyed the music for the next full 2 days every time the phone rang.
But i dint realise that even this would ring even when i was in class , in between of the ‘Don’s‘ lecture! In the middle of the class when he was shouting at us for not doing the assignment , attending the tutorials , my phone rings… !! This would have got me some real KICKS
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the class. I was embarrassed a bit and at the same time was enjoying the moment.
As soon as i saw the caller ID on the screen , it was the guys sitting at the desk behind me .
He knew that i have this ringtone which is as loud as the ‘don’ himself. He rang it deliberately .
I wanted to kill him that very moment. The fear i had , will the ‘Don‘ confiscate my phone ?! (Atleast his track record with ringing phones says so !)
But to my surprise , he smiled and simply asked to me put the phone on silent..
I was relieved as i was expecting an important call that day, even if not , not having the cell phone takes away a part of your life .. isn’t it ?!
From now , i always keep my phone on silent in classrooms . Some times i do forget to do so , but there are some of my friends who give a misd call (in between of the class) just to remind me that my phone is not on silent .
.I still have the same ringtone , whole of the class has the same one now !

See aayush, how much we care abt you. you r ritght. it was justa reminder…!!!heheheh…
nice post…1!!
well , u were lucky i guess !!
wish i had the same kind of luck……..
coz i have had dozens of similar incidents , one of them involving “RESPECTED” (Female DON)mam .
I had a minor accident that day ( bike slipped) , but somehow i reached the colg for RESPECTED mam’s class and i was 5 mins late ( as always ) , so there was this usual argument between me and RESPECTED MAM , as to why she should let me in , that too with attendance , and as usual she won the argument , and i had to enter without attendance.
Ahhhhh, i can still recall how i was cursing my luck , first that accident which left my ankle badly bruised , then that run from parking lot to the classroom , and all this for NOTHING .
So i sat down quietly at the last bench of my fav (corner) row , checking how bad was my ankle , when suddenly i realized that my cell phones ( i had 2 of them ) might have been damaged due to that accident. Instinctively , my hand went into my right pocket and i took out my phone ( the more expensive one of the two ).Apart from minor scratches it seemed fine , so i kept it back inside , and didnt bother to check that other less expensive one.
******** 2 MINUTES LATER*******
Chotu urf ‘Ishan’ came to me and whispered “Sushant yaar , mam phone mangwa rahi hain ” . I was confused so i asked him to clarify , and from what i could make out SHE WAS CONFISCATING MY PHONE. Damn , i cursed my luck again , as there was really no point arguing with her over ANYTHING ,plus i already had had enough , so i let her do ME without showing any sort of resistance .
But i couldn’t stop my evil mind from doing little cheating . What i did was , instaed of giving him the phone that was actually out of my pocket , i gave him the cheap one , from my left pocket .
All this time , mam was teaching n pretending as if nothing was going on. So ishan gave the phone to mam , and looking at me she said “You have two phones na ? Gimme the other one too ” !!. Shocked and embarrased i let her do ME again , but this time i found some kind of shameless pleasure which is difficult to explain in words. I found me , laughing over myself , along with the whole class . Disgust was no longer painful , neither were there any signs of frustration , because all i could manage was a silent shameless giggle .
PS : Only positive from this was that i forgot about my possibly bleeding ankle …lol

nw u give me d same ringtone and i wud play similar prank in my class:wink:
You got it right but you forgot the incident when Sharon was teaching and You got a smile on her face all because the feel of the ringtone so at that time the ringtone created a nice environment….
One of my friends had made huge plans as he was going to propose a girl today . But all in vein . He said ” yaar aab college tak aaya hun to kuch kar ke he jayuga ”
i think i know this boy…other “excerpts” of ur newly found love(BLOG) were hilarious..especially those in hindi..cheers and good goin’ mate..
my friend tried this once.. bt thanks to my intelligence(yeah..) i had the vibrate and then ring mode on.. so when she did call on my no. it just vibrated and i picked up her call.. Its like killing two birds with one.. i didnt get hurt, n her balance was gone!!
Nice btw..
