most embarrassing moment!
Im nearly sick of writing all those slam books... and the most common question is your most embarrassing moment and im like yet to come or something.... but i really did have a very bad experience....it sounds funny but not something that you'd want to go through frequently....
One hot july afternoon when most of us were placed in different firms,happy,bored and had completely no interest in anything that involved subjects,semesters and lectureres....three of us planned to go for a movie...
ME: Hey mokkai thangamudila......shall we go for a movie?
(i didnt have much money...)
X: yeah...enna movie? How abt sarkar?
Y: no no lets go for anniyan...
ME: fine....how abt this theatre? (forgot the theatres name)
Y: no way....lets go to sathyam...(the peter that she is!)
x agrees and i counted the coins and we set for sathyam at 12:30 in two vehicles....scooty pep and honda activa to be precise....
We made it in a good time and the tickets costed bloody 70 bucks....i had only 30 left....
X: Isnt is very hot?
ME: duh!!
Y: Lets go to that place till its time(pointing at qwickys)
None of us had realised that we parked our vehicles in the temporary parking.....and didnt get the parking tickets......
Inside qwikys you would naturally want to order something.....so after lots of discussions and arguments we settled for granitas.....only then i came to know that even X and Y were short of money.... we relished the drink had a great gossip and we were back at sathyam
Anniyan started and we were enjoying it... until interval.....
Y: lets get something to eat.....may be popcorn?
X: sure...
ME: hello.......we r practically broke.......
Y: hold on a sec...... dishes out a few one ruppee and 2 ruppee coins!
X does the same thing.........and me....well....as i told u i spent it all in qwickys....
Y: hey harini why dont u get the popcorns........
ME: noway! just imagine giving all those coins for 20 bucks! Its too embarrassing! i am not doing it.....
finally we made y get it coz she was the one who just cudnt do without her lifesaving popcorns....but soemhow she tricked me into getting it and i never felt so sick ordering for a popcorn and handing him one ruppee coins for 20 bucks!
we enjoyed the popcorns and watever was happening on the screen when Y got a call from her dad......none of our parents knew we were watching a movie...and her dad apparently was locked out and she had the keys....so Y left when andan kaka started...
y gets a message
X: harini it seems we didnt get our parking tickets......
ME: completely immersed in the movie) so?
X: we dont have money damnit!
ME:oh o... Shit wat r we goin to do? r u sure u don even have 10 ruppees? y dont u search ur bag? the parking ticket is only 5....
btw x showed the ticket collecting guy our vehicle to collect the tickets from us and left with hers...
X: i have only 75 paise...
ME: tats not even sufficient for the bus!
dads office is very near but i really cant go and ask him.......i'll surely get screwed....
the movie was almost over...and we were going out....
X: wat r we going to do?
ME: may be we would find someone we know......
as luck would have it we didnt.....and the probability was thin anyway...
we finally decided to do this.....
X: well?
ME: hmm.....may be we could ask someone.....
X: who??!
ME: i dunno....
X: how about that aunty over there with two kids...?
ME: okies........(shit.....im gonna beg for money!!!)
X: aunty we r studying in so and so college...(college maanamum pogatum!...)we kinda spent all the money on food and we gotta get a parking ticket to go home....
AUNTY:pulls out 20 bucks......is this enough?
WE: no no tats too much 10 would do....
WE: thanks a lot...
AUNTY: no problem....next time plan properly....
namaku idhellam thevathan! i'll never forget her!
we get to my vehicle and that ticket collecting guy is there......we hand over the 10 bucks and think everything is fine.......
The guy: Hey this is for tat gals vehicle wat about yours??
me and X look at eachother and we r like wat?
The guy: the ticket is 10 each...
we just coudnt speak then......this was impossible....termed as bulb in our lingo.....this was too much!
finally we decided we just coudnt beg or anything so we went straight to the guy who was the head or something and told him the situation....he gave us a dirty look and left us....
me and X didnt speak till we reached out respective homes....both of us with a terrible headache and a nasty feeling that cannot be explained!
may be those who have begged and some of the professional beggers might know.....
MORAL: make sure you hide 50 bucks somewhere in ur bag or wallet or purse or watever and forget abt!! lol!

ROTFL...will surely be a useful experience to quote in HR interviews.
And you calling someone else Peter...unakke konjam overa theriyalai? :P
@vetty max
yeah...
just imagine how she'd b if I am calling her a peter!she is more peterish than me.
Really funny, one rupee coins for twenty rupees??? i'm imagining,how it wud hav been.The popcorn guy should have mistaken u as a lady conductor.
ur blog is gr8!!! keep 'em rolling.gud luck!
lady conductor!! man wat an insult!
btw i think even conductors wud have 10 ruppee notes!
But that was the decent comparison ,i was able 2 make.There is a perfect model fitting the description but no, i ll stick on to conductor itself.
Hmmmm
Nice read...
Wish u a happy tamil new year.

Hey great experience....
With me this happened in a hotel...
after eating a hell lot of stuff i checked my pocket and found no wallet there....
After all the scolding n all i had to give my watch to the hotel owner... later on i collected it providing him the money...
but the way that man abused me....
I felt really embarrased....
