An intelligent fellow said in 19th century “Revenge is a dish which people of taste prefer to eat cold”.(they are still looking for the person who said it) Take a look at Wikipedia’s Revenge page if you dun believe me.
For many out there the policy of “Forgive and forget” doesn’t work and we Pauls know how to work our way out in such situations.
In the 20 years of my life I’ve had my share of revenges (smthing tht I’m more thn satisfied with). I’ve always believed in starting early, it all began for me when I was in standard second when somebody stole my scented banana erasers. Let me tell you they meant a world to me as my uncle got it for me from Singapore. What made it more precious was that the scented eraser was a huge hit in the class. I still regret not listening to my mum.
As luck would have it, I lost the eraser within a week. An average 7 years old girl would have suspected the whole world to be the thief. But No! Not me!..We Pauls know our enemies the moment we see them so I zeroed on my classmate Ameeta Gupta. The reason being.. my scented banana shaped eraser had dethroned her Mickey mouse shaped eraser. Back then I didn’t know that revenge was a dish best served cold.. I decided to act the same day.
Like only CIA can do, I laid out my plans. Stealing her Mickey Mouse erasers didn’t sounds like a good idea as that would have made me the prime suspect. I couldn’t cut her eraser into two coz the entire class knew tht I was the only one to carry a Topaz blade in my geometry box. I wanted to draw mustaches on her Mickey mouse erasers but I did not have a permanent sketch pen.
After days of thinking, my plan was devised . On the D-day, when Ameeta wasn’t around, I stole the eraser but left the Mickey mouse container intact to gove her the false impression that she still had her eraser with her.
The moment I stole the eraser I placed it under my armpits so tht it lost its scent. With time , I realized tht the eraser needed a bit of the cello-tape if tht had to stay thr for long.I had to steal my class teacher’s cello tape for this.(I’m not a born thief, I do it only for revengeful purposes, so I returnd the cello-tape after the purpose was fulfilled).
After having the eraser in my armpit for 24 hrs, I placed it back in the mickey mouse container. For days after that, Ameeta went around telling people that her scented eraser didn’t amell that good anymore . I just smiled.
After more than 12 years now, I’m planning my biggest revenge against someone who’s been giving me nightmares for almost a week (Those of you who’ve guessed who it is! Keep shut!). Unfortunately I’m still working out the plan so.. it will be ready for public consumption once it gets successfully implemented.
