WAR!!! *BANG*- OUCH!

I just remembered a very nice(funny) incident I had in Kenya. 

We had our cultural fest on Diwali night. I was taking part in a mime and a dance and was quite excited as we were 3rd on stage. Our dance was terrific(That's what everyone said) and so did our mime. My friend,Chirag , and me took our seat at the complete back. We watched all our other classmates perform and as soon as it got too boring ,we left. Outside in football pitch, we found some kids getting ready to play with crackers and we asked them if we could join.They agreed. We decided we would have a war.

SO, there we were hiding behind a car ,waiting, watching. An opponent came close and I tossed a double shot at him-BANG, he leaped and started laughing,-BANG, and He was left with a sooty leg (I believe that wiped the smirk off his face ;)  ). After A few more trivial incidents her and there (which involved throwing a bomb into their cracker stash, down a guy's shirt-mind you i didn't mean to but he somehow got under it AND it was a small one so he was lucky-, and gettin 3 rockets blown on between my legs and one in the stomach-i was lucky it was just a moon rocket so it wasn't big.)

Then came a turn of events and we started losing. They started hitting us hard and we were helpless. I had only around 5 bomb remaining and that wasn't good as the other team had many more.

*lightbulb shining* (or maybe a cracker just blasted above my head but anyway) I got an idea and started to set my trap. I place all five bombs in the exhaust pipes of a group of cars conveniantly facing away from each other and then used thread like agarbathis/incense sticks to create an old fashioned ,tom 'n' jerry style dynamite trap. I lit it. NOW, the eas part was over, I needed to lure them over to the circle. I had about five minutes before the bombs began bursting (i wrapped paper around the thread after the first bomb so that it would burn faster).  So,
back to luring them over, I got the crazy idea of yelling and jumping to get them there but, I realised that wouldn't help as they could just chuck a bomb over . I finally got the idea that i should take a plastic bag that was similar to their packet of crackers , fill it with empty boxes and run past them into the middle of the circle. 

So, with the help of my friend we found a packet-2 min reamaining- similar to theirs(in fact it already had aboxes of crackers in them- could have actually been their crackers' packet, who knows.) SO we set the plan into motion and ran past them and  got them into the circle, I only forgot one thing once i got in how was i supposed to get out without getting blown myself. 
They had surrounded me- 10 seconds- , oh dear was i in for it! And then it struck me why move they were covering me and the crackers were behind them , So i got down to wasting time and distracting them( I didn't have to wait long)-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!!! Yippee !! I got 'em. Uhoh! now they were mad *gulp*. 

They walked away from the field with sullen faces , slouched shoulders and sooty parts(I wont say where). We had won!

My frined had saved me by dropping a nice big atom bomb behind them ,and since i saw it I had closed my ears and eyes and it didn't have much effect on me, allowing me to escape.

Well what do you think, far fetched? Well, ok i may have exaggerated something but, don't we all?
