You can't take my spirit!

woke up in the morning... late as usual. But today Karthick and I were very determined to cook. How much ever time it takes, I give a damn. I should have food at home today before going to work!!!. To make things easy, Karthick ran to get ready made pastas( you jus require to boil them in water). But fate struck in the middle of boiling as the gas ran out. Karthick couldn't hide his disappointment on tasting the half boiled pastas.

we looked around to find resources, but only managed to find a cigerratte lighter. We were like, whatever comes our way, we give a damn. we will finish what we started up!!! I was holding the pan in my hand while karthick got down on his knees lighting the pan with the lighter. As i was holding the pan, i prayed he was just lighting the pan!!( thank god Aswin wasnt around, he would have captured the moment in his cam and uploaded it in his blogs with his creative captions!).

As fate would strike, the gas in the lighter ran out too and the pasta was still tasting like bubble gum. we were thinking of candles, but couldnt find them. Matchbox......?... couldnt find enough sticks on it. Finally Karthick suggested, we use the electric immersion heater to get the pan heated. So, he turned the heater on and waited for the copper filament to turn red hot. Once it was red hot, he placed the pan on Filament. then we realized, the water in the pan wasnt enough, we were too lazy to reach for the water can and ended up reaching for the immediate thing available ,which was a bottle of wine!! On top of that, he wanted to add a bit of peach snapps, but I disagreed to it, as Karthick has a bad history when it comes to mixing things with wine! ( His nick names should give you an idea : Kudikaran a.k.a. Quarter Karthick)

Yes... the cooking was over. We were proud of ourselves for the accomplishment. Whatever happend we never let the fate take away our spirits. But the spirits didnt last when we had to eat what we cooked. Afterall we were determined only to cook!
