R.A.N.D.O.M

A multitude of people clad in baniyans and cargo pants run to school - BK leading the bunch - backpacks slinging over their shoulders, with the school looking dangerously similar to the NUS campus, though the classroom interiors look like a lecture hall in the movie Vasoolraja MBBS.

My father-in-law mysteriously enters the room with a bamboo cane in hand, and asks a question to the student sitting in the first row, who resembles Najim Arshad, a singer you might notice on a show called Idea Star Singer, on Asianet. Najim rises, wearing a sleeveless grey baniyan and stares helplessly, when Aishwarya Rao from the female section of the classroom stands and says "Blahblahblahblahblah....., much like our Darsheel Safary did, in TZP.
< At this point, J enters and says "CUT!">

When a guy who is a Girish "danger cross" walks out of the room (camera following him), the guy is using his hands to shield whatever his cargo pants should ideally have shielded. Yet again, it looks like he's gone to school forgetting his pants!

2 more steps forward, and Girish (lets call him that, for convenience), trips and stares down to see that the staircase going down is actually a bottomless abyss, and keeps falling - face first - until he miraculously lands on a dirt-track with minor injuries! Thank God!

Arvind Rayappa suddenly challenges the Girish guy and Srinath (affectionately called Payaaloo, who happens to be around too) to this great big race, and the backpacks (are back!) rumble as the trio race off, kicking off dust that blinds the camera!
Girish looks down at his mobile to see "The Wife" calling, and races into a loo for some relief after all the water that he's drunk during the race.
The stench in the loo notwithstanding, the Girish guy braves all and sundry to take the all-important leak, heaving a sigh of relief.

This is the precise scene that gets played over and over again.

Some force inside the guy asks him "Are you ACTUALLY sure you wanna pee now?", and he pats his own back reassuringly, "Dude, this is a LOO, for god's sake. The room expects pee! Come on now!!".

And then it slowly spreads - the realisation i mean.
Yikes!! NOT AGAIN!!!
and immediately afterwards, a "Phew! Almost!!!!!!".

Have similar things happened to you?

Actually I didn't understand anything. Edge of the seat entertainment though.
And I was expecting Vijaya to come somewhere.
And writing "The Wife" on the phone address book is a cool idea.
