It's 1 AM at night,we are bored and hungry.So what do we do?We talk a walk.
Well,not just any walk.Me and bro are looking for a 24 hour store.We live in GK,there must be one around here somewhere.Now Delhi isn't really safe and my hair is really long.Ok,I lied.It's not really long but it's long enough for people to mistake me for a girl.So there are a couple of things freaking me out.The first thing is drunk drivers.Thankfully,there are none to entertain us along the way.And the second is what if someone mistakes me for a girl.
There was no point in checking Kailash Colony,since Kailash Colony shuts down by 10 PM.So we were forced to check out the stores on the main road.After walking half a kilometer,we find the first one closed.Our hopes are pinned on a pharmacy,which is just a few steps away.But we can't tell if it's open.And we can't tell whether there will be anything of our interest in the pharmacy.Thankfully,the pharmacy is open.
But entering the pharmacy,we aren't going to find any snacks...none of our choice.I walk up to the counter and ask the guy if he has any cold-drink.He nods.I ask him for a couple of Pepsi bottles.He nods again, takes a stool, climbs up and starts looking over at the top shelf.Meanwhile,I don't find this even a bit amusing because the top shelf is filled with boxes of lactogen. He gets back down,moves to another shelf,picks up a bottle of Colin and puts it in front of me. I stare at him silently for a moment and then I tell him that I wanted a cold drink,not Colin.He seems in his senses as he laughs and tell me that he they don't keep cold drink.Which makes me wonder,since when did Colin come in Pepsi flavor?
As we cross the road,a car slows down and a guy stares at me,as he passes by,from inside the car.Not the only victim tonight.Not the first either.Not the first to mistake me for a girl,that is.Which makes me wonder,what if there really was a girl in my place.
Not satisfied with the pack of Real Juice we bought from the pharmacy,we decide to take a chance and check if Sanjha Chulha is still open.Our luck,it is open.We order a couple of Mutton Seekh Rolls. My wallet is now a lot lighter than it was just fifteen minutes ago. And it wasn't very heavy then either.So I start dreading buying the pack of Real juice.Somehow, mutton roll and real juice is not a combination that I fancy.I am sure I wouldn't be doing any shopping the rest of the night,we buy a mountain dew. Our order takes some time as the mutton roll isn't available,so we opt for chicken roll instead.But it's DEFINITELY worth the wait.
We go back home,trying to get back inside as quitely as possible.See we didn't tell anyone that we were going out,as everyone was sleeping.So there was no point in disturbing them.I try to be as quite as I can be but my door lock thinks otherwise.Thakfully,no one hears a thing.No worries though,they will hear about it in the morning anyways.
