oberon mall- the first full fledged mall in kochi. its actually quite good. its big, it has almost all the good brands in india, a fun filled game station and a multiplex and scary house are on its way.
today my two good friends and i went there. well,ofcourse we have to be loyal to the student community which we belong to. thus we went into the mall with bare minimum money and with absolutely no intention to buy anything! however this dint stop us from entering every single shop and enquiring about the price. we talked with such confidence that seemed like we would buy the entire showroom!the salesmen were all very excited. but ofcourse in the end we would smile at them and say "thankyou" and just walk out. oh!how their expression would change...lol
and then we went into the gaming station and looked at all the games. for some time we watched other playing. but soon we were also tempted by then. though we had decided not to open our wallets, we changed our minds(or was about to). that's when my friend said "wait,let me see if i can get a card for free". we were like "ya, right!". but soon he did come with a demo card from a friend of his and we had a jolly time! just before we would be literally thrown out, we came out ourselves!
ok, by this time,after nearly 2 hours of walking around the mall and exerting a lot of energy on window shopping- we were TIRED! and thus we entered the food court. ok, well, here we had no chance of window shopping. and so we decided to buy something to fill our stomachs. after around half an hour of hot debate on what to buy, we finally decided on half a grilled chicken for the three of us.
after 20 minutes: our grilled chicken arrived. it was not cut. we looked at it for some time. it had an expression of "are the three of you gonna eat me?". we started on our mission. initially we were very dignified and started on one corner- using a knife and fork.
slowly my other friend took a fork and started poking on it. we were like "what are you doing?" and she was like " I'm trying to get something into my mouth" . we saw her pitiful condition and gave up even our efforts with a knife and fork and worked our way with our fingers. we insisted her to do the same but she refused to touch the chicken with her fingers. thus the two of us tore the chicken part. one leg one side,the other leg somewhere else, the flesh all over the place. we had to eat in between this and also stuff food into our friends mouth(the one who suddenly refuses to use her fingers).
it took nearly half an hour to finish our task. i feel it took us more energy to eat the chicken than to window shop!whew! but our mission was accomplished. our stomachs were full.
however- the state of the chicken(i wouldn't call it a chicken now. its just a few bones here and there.) was quite miserable.we had just one prayer at that time - that no one whom we knew would pass by that way!and if the spirit of the real chicken was somewhere there, it would have tried committing suicide. that's for sure!
oh Chicky, please forgive us!we were really hungry.that's why!;)
