In the heart of bustling Bengaluru, nestled between tech giants and chai stalls, sat the modest office of “ByteBuzz Technologies.” It was an ordinary software firm, with deadlines that hung heavy in the air and coffee machines that ran as much code as the developers did.
But there was one extraordinary element in ByteBuzz that made it anything but ordinary—a man named Dinesh Guddappa.
Dinesh was a 38-year-old software tester, round as a traffic signal pole’s base, with cheeks that jiggled when he laughed and a belly that had its own postal code. He wasn’t just big in size—he was big in sound, particularly from a region no one dared mention after lunch.
You see, Dinesh had a superpower—he farted. Loudly. Frequently. And fearlessly.
Chapter 1: The First Blast
It all began on a Monday morning. The team was neck-deep in debugging a chaotic e-commerce site crash. Tempers were flaring. Dinesh, calmly sipping on his fourth filter coffee, leaned forward in his mesh chair and let one rip.
Pppprrrraaaaaaaarrrrttttt.
The room froze. Laptops paused mid-compilation. Even the ceiling fan seemed to hesitate.
Suddenly, Nisha from HR burst out laughing. “What in the name of chutney was THAT?!”
The tension broke like a coconut on temple steps. Even the grumpiest coder chuckled. Dinesh? He simply smiled and said, “That’s my stress release protocol—version 2.0.”
From that day, Dinesh’s farts became office folklore.
Chapter 2: The Whisper Network
Every team has Slack groups. But ByteBuzz had a secret one: “Flatulence Forecast.”
Here, employees rated Dinesh’s daily performances.
- “Tuesday, 11:14 AM – Slight tremor, might have shifted my chair. 7/10.”
- “Thursday, Post-dosa effect: Long, musical, mildly warm. 9.5/10.”
- “Friday: Silent but violent. Nosehair casualties confirmed.”
Dinesh was unaware—or so they thought.
One day, during a group lunch at the office pantry, he grinned and said, “Guys, just remember to mute your phones when you rate me. I can hear the Slack pings every time I fart.”
They all burst out laughing.
Chapter 3: Suspense in the Server Room
One particularly hot afternoon, the servers overheated. Tensions flared. The CTO, Mr. Venkat Rao, a serious man who believed in three things—punctuality, precision, and pin-drop silence—was personally monitoring recovery.
Dinesh, seated behind a UPS box, slowly lifted one leg with his usual finesse.
Prrrroooommmmmphhh.
The noise echoed like a foghorn in a cave.
Mr. Rao’s eyes widened. “What was that?!” he shouted.
Dinesh, poker-faced, replied, “Thermal venting, sir. Natural server cooling. Eco-friendly method.”
The entire IT department chuckled nervously, but surprisingly, even Rao couldn’t suppress a smile.
Chapter 4: The New Intern
In walked Shaunak Varma, a new intern from Indore—young, bright-eyed, idealistic, and unfortunately, lactose-intolerant.
On his first day, he was offered the customary south Indian treat—paneer dosa with extra butter. Shaunak, determined to impress, gobbled it down and returned to his desk right beside Dinesh.
By 2:30 PM, the war began.
Brrrt. — Shaunak.
Phhooot. — Dinesh.
Trrrappp. — Shaunak again.
Ppphhhhhh. — Dinesh answered like a maestro.
It was a symphony of destruction. Noses were pinched. Room fresheners were sprayed. The air was so thick with tension and methane, even the Bluetooth signals got disrupted.
By end of the day, a banner was hung over their cubicles:
“Warning: Zone of Emission. Proceed at your own whiff.”
Chapter 5: Farting Fame
ByteBuzz’s CEO, Mr. Rajan, visited the Bengaluru office for a surprise check. As he stepped in, a strong whiff of air hit him.
“Oh god. What is that smell?” he asked, gagging slightly.
Dinesh, standing proudly near the coffee machine, said, “Sir, innovation smells different. We believe in breaking wind… and boundaries.”
A nervous silence followed, but then Rajan laughed uncontrollably.
“I’ve never heard such an honest answer. Promote this man!”
Dinesh was promoted to Team Lead – Test & Release, and his cubicle was relocated near a window.
Chapter 6: The Emotional Side
Behind Dinesh’s carefree attitude was a childhood of shame. In school, he was called “Gas Guddappa” and often mocked.
“I tried everything, sir,” he once told Nisha during an appraisal chat. “Ayurveda, yoga, even reverse breathing. But in the end, I embraced it.”
Nisha smiled, “You know, Dinesh, your farts have healed more tension in this office than our entire HR team.”
They both laughed. And that night, a company-wide email was sent out:
Subject: Introducing… ByteBuzz’s Chief Mood Elevator!
Body: When stress gets high, Dinesh flies by. Literally.
Chapter 7: The Final Boom
ByteBuzz landed a major client—an overseas fintech company. They scheduled a video call to finalize a $2 million contract.
As the meeting reached a tense point, the CEO asked, “How do you manage such high-pressure deployments?”
Before anyone could answer, Dinesh leaned in to adjust his chair. Bad idea.
Pppppppprrrraaaaappppphhhrrrrtttttt.
The mic was unmuted.
Everyone froze.
The client CEO blinked. Then laughed so hard he dropped his headset. “Well, you guys definitely release pressure effectively.”
Contract signed.
Moral of the Story:
Embrace who you are—even if you break wind doing it. What you consider a flaw might be your superpower.
