Semester 3
Chapter 1 : Trick Or Treat
Its June 21,2008 and the birthday of Vishnu Gowthem.
After cutting a huge cake at his house, we went to this place called Tornado for his treat. There must have been at least twenty five people already there waiting for him. I found a few familiar faces here and there, but for the most part it was full of his school friends most of whom I didn't know. What followed next was one the few wtf moments of my college life.
Now when I was told "treat", I imagined people sitting around in a table, eating food and having conversations. Nothing of that sort happened. And for ordering food, I expected people tell separately what they would have. That didn't happen either. At the least I thought we would be sitting and eating. Nope, that didn't happen either :)
Vishnu went to the manager and said "We will have.. Six of this, six of that, four of those blah blah". And as soon as those orders starting coming out, everybody dove straight into the plate. And within seconds, the chicken fried rice disappeared. Every dish lasted only for seconds. And none of them made their way beyond a few feet from the kitchen. I never thought it was possible for six guys to eat a single small pizza at the same time.
There were a few guys like me who had second thoughts on jumping in too. That didn't mean we didn't get anything to eat. The others made sure a few plates were "reserved" for us. So in the end, everyone had their fill. But I guess their way of eating was a lot more fun.
One of the other interesting incident was, one of the guys was making the "badass phone call" to someone. You know, the one where they call someone up, use every swear word they can come up with to make their point. I guess some of you can see the irony behind this.
And oh ya, it was this day that Viswa bought a new slide phone and rued it for nearly an year. All because the shopkeeper gave him wrong information about the cell he actually wanted to buy :D
