I was called in by the Hostel Director few minutes back to talk about the whole incident that happened in my absence yesterday.
I showed up infront of him with “I am Innocent” smile pasted on my face. He told me to sit down and then started with… a surprise checking took place in the hostel yesterday and we happen to find an electric iron in your cupboard (I had forgotten to lock it). He went on saying that he had known this for months that I was using something or the other in my room which draws a lot of power. The warden (b****) agreed saying that each and everyday my uniform and dresses looked freshly ironed..
I listened to everything he wanted to say quite calmly (Thanks for all the prayers!) Anyways then I donned my Drama Queen’s best expressions and went on saying that I did had a iron as I was using it in the previous hostel. But when I was told that we are not allowed to use electrical items, I sent it back home (its a big lie :P) and moving over to the current scenario, I got the iron back from home last week as my exams were starting and also I was down with fever, cold and cough. So it would be nice if I wore ironed (hot/warm) clothes.
He promptly replied that I had seeked permission regarding it. And I said as I was not using it I didn’t seek permission for it. I would sought it the day I was to use it. And me being a great actor, he bought all this.. haha…
He then said that as the warden had told my mom that as it was a first time, I won’t be fined… but it wouldn’t be morally right if I wasn’t fined.. I said ok.. go on.. He told me to pay a ’sum’ as fine infront of many girls to the warden and I’ll see to it that the ’sum’ is returned back to you. Said to keep this ‘arrangement’ between me and him. Then I asked how much I’d have to pay.. He said mere 500… I gave a tad reply that I didn’t had 500 bucks.. (true haan.. I only have around ~200 bucks at present). That idiot guy pulled out his wallet and handed me a 500 rupees note to pay the fine.. haha 
and told me not to use the iron again.
I took the note from him and then with a sad face proceeded to my room. Told a couple of gals here and there that I was fined 500 rupees.
So now this is what I am going to do, get the iron back on 21st night saying that I’ll make sure it finds it way to bro (via a college bus driver, thats how I got it initially) and give it to Kriti on the 22nd to keep it for a few days. Then get it back and start using it again Cos I love breaking rules 
This time I’ve vowed to check before leaving the hostel that each and every thing of mine is locked or not..
PS: and thanks to my roomie, my electric kettle didn’t get caught you rock girl!! God Bless You!!
