The victim was mythalez (a.k.a Ramachandra :O )
The year was 2006. Rama had just checked his mail on Dilip(also from ug2k2) room PC. After he checked his mail, he exited the room without logging off. Enter Pranav. Seeing rama's console open, the devil inside Pranav took over. Encouraged by Dilip, pranav changed the title of the putty window (putty window bar->right click->change settings->window->behaviour->window title) to vasishta@students. This was followed by a change to the prompt(the .bashrc file) to make it look like [vasishta@students ~]:
So we have Ramachandra's putty session looking like pranav's session.
Thus the trap was set for Rama. In some time Rama entered the room and saw a putty session titled vasishta@students . Ramachandra eyes lit up like 1000W bulbs. Encouraged by Dilip and sensing a once in a lifetime opportunity, Rama quickely composed a tullu mail to his batch from that putty session. Rama then went to pranav and with a big smile on his face asked pranav to check his mail. Pranav opened his mail box and lo and behold there was a mail:
Ramachandra Sub: I am the greatest tullu of IIIT.
And that is the story of how Ramachandra was *pawnd* by Pranav Kumar Vasishta. I have seen lots of tullu mail in IIIT. But this has to be the mother of all tullu mails.

Greatest Tull mail story I have heard

How very clever of Pranav!

roflmao, good that u shared this, it was quite hilarious when v found out, lol
brilliant :)
Couldn't stop laughing for minutes after reading this!! What a prank! totally pwned.
ROFL! awesome story. gg Pranav!
I think there are a couple of things which need to be mentioned.
Had it not been for my association with Dilip and Rama, I am sure, I'd not have thought of such things. It's very graceful of Rama to have accepted this to be posted for a hearty laugh at him.
I must say that the role of Dilip was instrumental in the success of this plot :P - It was he who was behind the execution of the plan and also instrumental in making Rama fall for the trap. Dilip is as naughty as he is known to be calm.
"Tullu" is not a term coined during our time - hope Rishabh can throw some more light. As far as I remember, we used to call them "Open Login Mails". And one of Rama's wonderful mails was from Natraj's login which was open then. The latter was made the Head of an imaginary "Creative Mails Inc" by the former in that mail.
As always, I'd end with an apology for writing a lengthy comment.
"As always, I'd end with an apology for writing a lengthy comment."
no man .. you can go on ... we are used to it now :P
kidding ...
As it is said in shaastras:
Yatru tulleshwaraha Pranava,
yatra calm-eshwara dilipa,
tatra silly mythalezaho
maha tullo bhavet.
'tullu' became popular when an open login mail was sent from tullu's account.
tullu is anurag.
So now you've started discussion about tullu mails...
It was me who coined the term "tullu mail" during our 1st sem and don't know why I still feel glad when someone use this term as if it is an achievement :D
I'll post the full story of "How the word tullu came into use " in my blog soon :)
