BHOOKAD CLUB-1

With the mess food sucking big time, exams causing a nightmare and the thought of sitting and thinking yet again about where to have dinner that night , being enough to drive one’s voracious pangs of hunger away, Abhu, shi, sun and mek (check the post titled “college…” to figure out these abbreviations) decided to MAKE dinner that night.

It all started with Abhu smsing Shi to buy some fruits on her way back from the reading room, because that night she felt like having fruit salad for dinner. At 8:30 Abhu gets an anxious message from Shi, asking her if she was feeling alright. Shi couldn’t believe that Abhu wanted to have FRUIT salad for dinner. (huh! See what a wrong impression people have about Abhu?? Agreed she is
not too fond of fruits but does that mean she cant ,for a change, decide to have em??)

So, Shi returns to the room at 10, with fruits, veggies , mek and sun accompanying her. Mek had a packet of Knorr Hot n Sour soup and some kinda mixture that was supposed to be added to the veggie salad. Before they knew a full fledged menu had been planned for a special and healthy dinner.

Menu:
1. Hot n sour soup (with some kinda noodles added to it which ultimately made it taste like manchow)
2. Doritos with cheese ('Bahrain ki cheese ' if i may add. again, refer to the post- 'college...' for clarification)
3. Veggie salad with some kinda mixture in it :P
4. Fruit salad

Now came the most important part of it all- cutting the fruits and veggies. They sent Sun to fetch Doritos and cheese from mek’s room (her room is filled with all these yum things from Bahrain). Abhu was on her laptop, quickly saying a bye to all the 5 people with whom she wa
s chatting at a time ( Tn- her very very good friend from skul , Suk, and 3 other friends from MIT ). Meanwhile, Shi ( who is good at cutting fruits and veggies started peeling off the cucumber and cutting it. Shi unaware of Abhu’s poor cutting and chopping skills handed her an apple to cut. Abhu tried to do her best, but she must have looked extremely comical trying to gingerly cut the apple into two, cause Mek and Shi coulnot control their giggles. As soon as the apple was cut into two, Abhu jumped to do an impromptu jig, elated at finally having cut a fruit into half with a knife. Heheee! Though she abandoned any attempt to cut the fruit into smaller pieces, she then took up the work of adding chat masala to the fruit salad.(u can see the pic above :P) Meanwhile, Mek prepared the soup adding noodles and other ingredients which she thought would make it yum.

With loud music playing in the room, sun cutting onions, all of them sniffing and removing tears from their eyes, thanks to the onions, they had an amazing time preparing this meal!
