You know how every school has that one duo? The type of boys who are either legends or complete headaches — depending on who you ask?
At St. Xavier’s High School in Karjat, those two were Rohan and Kabir.
Rohan was tall and thin, always cooking up some smart-ass joke. Kabir was short, round-faced, and had the kind of expression that said, “I’ve done something wrong, and I’m not sorry.” Together, they weren’t just classmates — they were chaos consultants.
Chapter 1: The Duster Debacle
One boring Wednesday morning in History class, Mr. D’Souza was droning on about the Mughal Empire. Kabir, bored out of his skull, leaned over to Rohan and whispered, “What if I hit the fan with the duster?”
Rohan smirked, “Do it. I dare you.”
Kabir aimed like he was in the Cricket World Cup finals… and boom — bullseye. The duster hit the ceiling fan, spun once, and exploded chalk everywhere like Holi had arrived early. Mr. D’Souza? Let’s just say he looked like a powdered doughnut.
“Who did this?!” he yelled, eyes twitching.
The class was in splits. Rohan and Kabir? Sitting there pretending they were deeply interested in the decline of Babur’s empire.
Of course, they got caught.
Punishment? Clean every blackboard in the school after classes.
Their response? “At least we don’t have homework!”
Chapter 2: Lab Lessons… and Life Lessons
Science teacher Mrs. Rao was no-nonsense. Her sarees were sharper than her words, and her words were very sharp.
One day, she gave the class a “simple” experiment: baking soda + vinegar = volcano. But Kabir had other plans. He pulled out a bottle of Thums Up and a pack of Mentos.
“Let’s make it interesting,” he grinned.
Five seconds later, the volcano erupted like Vesuvius had come to Karjat. Soda foam flew everywhere. One girl screamed, two boys cheered, and poor Mrs. Rao got soaked.
“OUT! BOTH OF YOU!” she bellowed.
Next day, they were writing “Science is not for jokes” a hundred times. Rohan asked, “Can we just write it once and photocopy it?” Kabir nodded seriously.
Chapter 3: The Teacher’s Diary Heist
This is where things got really wild.
So Mr. Sharma — their English teacher — always carried this old leather diary. Rumor was, it had teacher gossip. Like, who’s failing, who’s cheating, and maybe… which teacher had a crush on which other teacher.
Naturally, they planned a full-blown heist.
Kabir kept watch while Rohan ninja-ed into the staffroom during recess. Just as he grabbed the diary — he sneezed.
“Who’s there!?”
Rohan froze. Kabir started whistling outside like a panicked bird.
Rohan ran out with the diary under his shirt.
That night, in Kabir’s room, with torches and chips, they opened the diary expecting some spicy secrets.
Most of it was boring. But then… on page 13, in Mr. Sharma’s clean handwriting:
“Rohan and Kabir — the class clowns. But they’ve got spark. I think they’ll surprise us one day.”
They just stared at the page.
For once, neither had anything funny to say.
Chapter 4: Slightly Less Evil
After that, something changed. Just a little.
They still pranked. Like that time they swapped the teacher’s whiteboard marker with a lipstick they stole from Kabir’s sister. Or when they changed the school bell ringtone to a goat bleating (recorded during the field trip).
But something about that diary entry stuck.
When Mr. Sharma once forgot his notes for a lesson, Kabir — the class idiot, mind you — stood up and recited a poem they used to mock… and nailed it.
Even Mr. Sharma blinked twice. “Well done,” he muttered. Everyone clapped. Rohan pretended to yawn, but even he smiled a little.
Then Rohan started drawing comics — featuring their teachers. But this time, the jokes were fun, not mean. Mrs. Rao became “Voltage Woman” — a superhero who fought boredom with diagrams.
Even she laughed.
Chapter 5: The Final Prank That Backfired Beautifully
Before their final board exams, they decided on one last epic prank.
They printed fake question papers — absolutely ridiculous ones. Stuff like:
- “Derive Newton’s law using a samosa.”
- “Explain Macbeth in context of Virat Kohli’s batting.”
- “Draw the periodic table in the style of Salman Khan.”
They sneaked them into the exam room early morning.
Chaos. Panic. One boy cried. Another actually started answering them.
But then… Principal Fernandes walked in. Everyone held their breath.
He chuckled. “Which genius came up with this?”
Rohan and Kabir looked at each other and raised their hands.
“You two need therapy,” he said. “But also… this is brilliant. We’re printing it in the annual school journal under satire.”
They got applause — not detention.
Epilogue: Guess What Happened Later
Rohan grew up to become a comic artist. His online series “Classroom Chaos” is now viral material.
Kabir? Hold your breath — he became a teacher. Yes, Captain Kabir, as his students call him. He’s the kind of teacher who starts class with a joke and ends with a lesson.
Every Teacher’s Day, they go back to St. Xavier’s. They gift Mr. D’Souza a duster tied with a ribbon and say, “We swear we’ve changed… mostly.”
Moral of the Story:
Sometimes the biggest troublemakers just need someone to believe in them. Behind every prank is a kid just figuring life out.
