'Pot'ty Lucked

On the afternoon of 30th August 2005, i got locked up in my home's bathroom for as long as 3 hours.... might sound a not too long time...but folks....try it out... n u will know how long a time it is...
first, an introduction of my bathroom! it is small.... fcourse it has a tub n a shower...but certainly small... its got yellow walls!(stop thinking!)... n ya.... like every american house bathroom it has carpets... n like conventional desis we like to keep our bathrooms wet....so in the process the carpets r screwed up! n they stink.. we tried dryin it once outside....but it started stinking differently again once it came back inside.. there is a ac duct into the bathroom....but the old home that mine is....it is faced upwards.... n unlike desi bathrooms... there aint no ventilation windows.....
next, the situation... it was a typical hot afternoon, with everyone runnin between home n classes.... we (me, hari and anand) got back to have our lunch.... i made the lunch... so after eating the food... everybody had to visit the loo.....anand was done first and said he was leavin to the comp lab to send some mails... n said he will be gettin somewhere else from there..... hari was to meet a prof in the dept.... i had to get to the dept too...so i asked him to wait....but he said he is runnin out of time n ran off... this meant i was alone in the home at 2 in the afternoon..... so like any typical loo visit i pick a book n get inside..... guess what is the book? DISCOVER YOUR DESTINY.... :)
not realizing what happened with anand before... happily lost in thoughts i locked the door tight.....so what happened with anand? the inside knob of the bathroom got jammed... so it meant only ppl from outside cud open the door!!!!! once i closed the door i realized it...but the situation demanded i needed to attend some more urgent matters first......! finishing up... i tried all possible techniques....nothing worked.... n worse? the stink from the carpet starting taking over..... using up half the roll of toilet paper i cleaned half the bathroom dry n slept for sometime... i had to get up when it starting gettin suffocating... n i decided this is it.. i m gonna do something... i picked up the bathroom scissors, nail cutter n starting opening the knob... when it opened up, i used the scissors to push the lever to open the door....
situational details: unlike everytime, i decided to leave my pants outside in the room and went in only with my undies! so at the time of pushing open the door.... i was jes in my tshirt n undies...
position? i was kneeling down n trying to open the lock such that i cud see where the lever is.....
what happened? suddenly the big mass of the white door disappear and a giant in blue n brown was standing instead!
anand came to pick up his pack of ciggerrates (god bless his smoking habit!) realized that someone got stuck in the bathroom n decided to help by opening up.....
what did he see? me in my undies.... with a pair of scissors in one hand and nail cutter in the other kneeling down in front of him!!!!!
man... the others had a laugh of their life.... looked like the DCH situation... ppl were rolling down laughing... while i was jes sittin out....enjoyin the new found fresh air!\

WORRRRRRRRRRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
