Thursday Take 3
oz | Festivals & Contests | December 7, 2006 at 8:26 am
Been thinking about starting this series for sometime now… this is a first… and there may be more based on “YOUR” participation and response…
What is a Take 3?
I will basically post a beginning of a story…
You as a commenter will post what happens next… in 3 lines…
The commenter after you will post what happens next after your 3 lines… in 3 lines and so on.
You have to try your best to ake the story at a place, where it become very hard for the next commenter to add on to it.
This is pretty simple… how long should one continue?
In between all your comments, I will post twice… “CLIMAX BEGINS NOW” – wherein you will now start writing climax…
And then when I comment “THE END”… the story ends… You can then discuss on how the story moved and what could have been done in there to make it tighter, better, more vibrant.
What do I write in the 3 lines?
You have to take the story forward from the last commenter. You can introduce any situation, event or any character. Tragedy, comedy, fight, romance, passion… anything to make it harder and harder for anyone who wants to comment next. The harder you make it… the more fun it is.
But your 3 Lines should connect with the rest of the story built by the prior commenters so far…
What if during my writing the 3 lines someone else commented too (that I did not see while commenting)… now we have the other commenter and my comment taking the story in two different directions… What then?
In that case – the very last comment is the starting point for the next commenter.
Who wins the contest and what are the prizes?
No prizes… just you being declared as the winner
The winner is the one who wrote a situation in the story making it the toughest to move it forward.

Story :
Malti Mehta took another bite of her soggy samosa as she whispered “Oh Ya Baby… do me do me”, over the phone. She had been working as an offshore phone sex operator for a year now, not because she didn’t know anything else, but because the money was good. Pavan Verma in Dallas was about to climax as he heard Malti’s “Oh Baby… Oh Baby” on his phone… he was close… very close… the door of his apartment suddenly crashed open…
They walked in. There was just a faint “bing” whisper. They walked out quietly. Malti was still in her “Oh Baby Oh Baby” mode… little did she realize that she was moaning to a now dead client….

The three men, who shot Pavan, got into their car and are about to drive off. 2nd Man, in the three says “Hey… hold on… I gotta pee”. The other two think he is joking, but the 2nd man is adamant and screams “We are not going anywhere till I have peed”
as the 2nd man is about out to pee, his “weapon” gets stuck in his pants zip…he screams for help as the remaining two guys look in disbelief at his foolishness…a police jeep passing by stops to check out what’s all the hue and cry about…
- Rajesh, Ricky… good one.
As the cops stop next to their car, Anurag and Rajkumar, two Indians who arrived in America illegally hiding in container no. xwer34562, step out of their apartment and knock on Pavan Verma’s door, but find it open. They are there to borrow half a cup of milk, 6 teaspoons of sugar, 2 table spoons of tea and a few cookies. They are shocked to find Pavan dead on the floor and the phone off the cradle, which they pick up and hear Malti Mehta going “Oooo yeah baby yeah baby… come on baby”
the two men in the car(who shot pavan) panic and drive off, the cops raise the alarm and begin a chase, they somehow don’t notice the ‘2nd man’ peeing next to a hedge, he just stands dumbfounded peeing all over his pants and the gun. Meanwhile in the apartment, Anurag picks up the receiver and hears Malti moaning, he begins to chuckle and says “babe, i came already”. They hear a gun go “BANG”.
Anurag goes ballistic hearing to Malti’s voice, which reminds him distantly of his distant cousin living in Maltipur, doing her B.A.U.I.B.P.M.M.(Bitchness Acquistion in Understanding Incestuous Behaviour in Post-Menopausal Men.
In a swift puff of realization, Rajkumar remembers he is hungry, and runs to the kitchen, which is infested with empty cans of Pedigree. Disgusted, dishelved and maniacally depressed he tried to kick himself in the balls, and trips over in the attempt…
- hmmm… slow today… well I’ll give it a shot since people are missing…
“Lust lust lust, is that all you think of? lust for food or punani… goddammit a man is dead here… lets run” screams Anurag at Rajkumar. They both make a dash for the door. Meanwhile the cop knocks on the window of the car belonging to the 3 assassins and goes “License and Registration please… and what are you doing here?”, as he looks at Assassin No. 2 who’s mini-me is stuck in the zipper.
Suparn, filmmaker, underground porn filmmaker and fullnight bartender and sometime hitman was watching this from his binoculors perched on a tree. He sniggered as he took off his ear piece. He now had proof that could incriminate Anurag and Rajkumar, he dialled Anurag
Suparn: HA HA HA
Anurag: Kya maa chod raha hai, ISD rate de raha hoon
Suparn: Rajkumar ko bol apna phone check kare ek mms bheja hai
Rajkumar: Maa ki aankh, boss yeh phone bill ke maa bhen kar raha hai
(Checks phone)
Anurag and Rajkumar have a oh fuck moment
Suparn: Ab No Smoking ki release ki kismet mere haath mein hain, ab toh wohi karega jo mera ‘Boss’bolega. Statute of Liberty par jakaar chane kha, phone booth no#69 par phone ka wait kar
CLICK
phone goes dead
Anurag: %^%^ &**&&*&* &^*& &^*%^**!!!!!
- Suparn… LOL!!! Good one… but INVALID… 3 Lines only =))
mera first time tha, mistake ho gaya, allow this one sirjee, even betalal says so
- Ok… for this time only Suparn’s entry – Comment No. 6. is VALID
Anurag knows he is trapped by the slimy Suparn, but not one to give up, he thinks of a plan and shoots in the phone “Come to the apartment”. Suparn complies and unhooks his trapped pyjamas from the branch of the tree and starts walking to the apartment where he is about to cross the car of the assassins. As the cop asks the assasins “What are you doing here?”, one of the assassin suddenly points a finger at Suparn walking past the car – “We were here to meet him”
Realising that cops are on to him, Suparn is scared stiff and pisses in his pants. He begins to run but the piss in his wet pajamas makes his inner thigh very abrasive. At the same time the cops pull out his gun and fires at him.
- The bullet finds Suparn’s ass and he crashes into the fence of a nearby house who’s name plate reads “Aishwarya lives here”. Hearing the commotion the lady of the house runs out to find Suparn lying in her front lawn, blood oozing out from behind, and he’s looking right at her and going “Awwwwww Lolita???…. my long lost sister!”… Meanwhile in Pavan Verma’s apartment Anurag waits for Suparn while Rajkumar picks up the phone to find that Malti Mehta is still going “Ohhhh yeah baby… come to me baby… cummm my dear dhokla cummm…”
Finding Malti cuming all over her desk, her supervisor Oz gets a hard on. He runs to the loo get do the apna haath jaganaath stuff. Little does he know that Ricky has beaten him to the throne and is going eksat baasat over Aish photograph.
INVALID – no.13 has no connection to the story… though it gave me an idea for a new Take 3…;)
Next commenter please begin from comment 12.
“Yaar duniya mein kitne kamine log hot hai jo phone pe sex karte hai” says Rajkumar while keeping the receiver back in the cradle. Looking towards Anurag he asks “Anurag, did you ever direct a porn movie?” Hearing this Anurag freezes as Rajkumar was speaking about his past and he wanted to make sure that no one ever finds about it.
Before Rajkumar could finishes telling his past, Honhaar Khuda shouts from above: Why the fuck you all horny people are still chatting about sex and bullshit – in doing so boring the audience, when there is a mystery to solve. Did Pavan die of excitement or the three guy killing him is a myth? And suddenly they all have another peg….
INVALID… HG’s piece is invalid… does not connect with the story nor moves it forward… ;)
Next commenter may start from Comment No. 15
(huh-le-lo)(doh)
but…
“The winner is the one who wrote a situation in the story making it the toughest to move it forward.”
erm, so that means me and Muzzy are contenders….
:D
At that time, Anurag also hears the police siren. He yells to Rajkumar: “Meri porn film ki baath chod. Hum mushkil me phas gaye he. Bhaag!”. They are a little to late to flee, as a police officer emerges with a gun pointed towards them and shouts “Freeze!”…
Lolita, surprised to find a bloody, piss stained man with binoculars around his neck in her yard, is surprised to hear him call her name. But, seeing police on the street, she helps him to partially stand and helps him into her kitchen while she scans the street to see if the police noticed that it was her yard he fell into, and her home where he will be hiding. She has her own reasons for hiding from the police as she is involved with those who make their money off of telephone sex lines and the porn industry….

Somebody translate this for me? :(
T! Click the option for sub-titles on the lft hand-side of the croll bar…lol…Nah its very difficult to translate what VC has said…
- INVALID… VC’s Take 3 is invalid. No connection with the rest of the story.
Next commenter please begin from Comment No. 21
“WAIT” screamed Assassin 2 “I’ve forgot my gun in the apartment”… Assassin 1 cusses under his breath “FOOL”, breaks hard and swirls the car back towards the apartment. Meanwhile while listening to Malti Mehta on the phone Rajkumar notices a shiny black thingy under the sofa which he picks up and is shocked to note that it is a gun… Anurag rushes to him and slaps him “YOU IDIOT THIS COULD BE THE GUN THAT THEY MAY HAVE KILLED PAVAN WITH, NOW IT HAS YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON IT…. DAMN IT… WHERE THE HELL IS SUPARN?”
suparn, in the meantime, is checking out lolita’s collection of pornographic posters and coming to terms with the fact that his long lost sister runs the porn industry, and wonders to himself if he should reveal his identity. lolita gives him some hot chocolate to sip on while she pops in a pirated DVD of “ek khiladi ek haseena”, not knowing that her long lost brother is sitting right next to her, and has also directed the movie she’s watching right now. halfway into the movie, suparn has fallen asleep, and the phone rings, which jolts him awake…
the lovemaking song is on, suparn takes the phone, a hutch operator wants suparn to change his phone provider, suparn hangs up. lolita is watching the song end and starts telling suparn about how he can make his hollywood debut now that jag mundhara is making arty films, suparn smiles and says he is planning to fund his hollywood debut by blackmailing anurag and rajkumar, he picks up his phone and dails them
but by mistake he calls up lolita(pure coincidence, he has no idea abt her ph no. btw).
lolita picks up the fone 2 discover its suparn.suparn shouts, “motherfucking bitch y the fuck did u use up my balance.i cant recharge my no. now.” he has no money u c.so his plan to blackmail cant workout now.
//reviving a dead thing.hope ppl follow it up.
Lolita was devastated and enraged at the same time… “WHAT THE FUCK IS HIS FUCKING PROBLEM, DID HE FORGET THAT I COULD HAVE HIM RAPED BY COUPLA EUNUCHS, DOMINATRIX DRESSED SRK/KJ LOOKALIKES, PERHAPS”? Suparn threw his phone against the glass bowl on the table with an exaggerated force… metal against glass… million shards and a puddle… on the floor… in his eyes. That’s when it happened! He could feel the giant invisible hand knocking him off his feet… WHOOSH… he collapsed on the spot… a bundle of limbs… like a string puppet that’s cut free.
