It was my first winter in the tri-state area. It had been a few days since I had arrived in Hartford on a stormy day on 1st February, 2005. And I found the dark evenings exceptionally dull. Experiencing darkness at 4-5 pm was an alien concept for me.
I arrived in an apartment that already housed 3 of my colleagues - Pranay, Sunil and Vikram. During those few weeks all of us used to come home early and tuck ourselves in the comforters and surf the net sipping tea or coffee. The occasional maggi (noodles) was our favorite snack.
One such evening, we all reached home and had tea. We were hungry but all were a bit lazy to make any food. After a couple of minutes though - Vikram decided to make some magi for us. The experience of having hot maggi on a cold snowy evening is indeed satisfying. Anyways, Vikram got the bowl of maggi and we started to relish the noodles.
"Whoever has made this maggi, please do send him to heaven O God", were the words of Sunil as he finished up his bowl. Pranay and I could see the elated face of Vikram, clearly interpreting that those words were meant for him. But when Sunil saw the smile on Vikram's face, he goes - "Not you asshole, the one made this product". Vikram realized that he had misconstrued and his glad face altered. Pranay and I couldn't stop laughing for quite some time though…
Expect comments from Vikram, Pranay and Sunil atleast...
