The Sugar Fiasco

Yes, even sugar can make life sour sometimes!!
I might be exaggerating here, but the event initiated by sigar was quite eventful indeed!! It so happened that i finally got up at 1pm today afternoon. After making myself tidy, I note that there is no sugar in our house. Me and my roommates wanted to have morning tea desperately. There was bit of a discussion as to who will bring sugar from neighbor's house. Finally it was decided that we will go and buy it.
So there we were (me, Diwakar and Santhosh) in our car. We started for India Gate. Its a desi general store, where we get Indian grocery. As soon as we started Aakash and pakya asked us to stop the car. They were coming in their car behind us. Now the problem was that Santhosh is a novice as of now in terms of driving. So he didnt stop the car, and so we reached India Gate. Pakya also was coming behind us, and when we stopped, he broke the News that our car's rear tire was FLAT!!
Now this would have had been ok on some normal day, but today was it damn cold. And then add the wind chill factor. We were freezing, and it was tough to stand outside for a moment also. Anyway cursing our luck and each other, we bought the goods and SUGAR!
Now came the tough part. How to get the car in shape?! Getting it repaired would have had been a costly affair as labor is vey costly here. So we sought the help of our more experiened friends. Diwakar didn't bring his cell, so we called up Suchit from a shop. Good guy he is Suchit said that he will come to help us out. He asked Diwakar to bring out the spare tire and jack etc. Our dear Diwakar said that he has opened the dikki many times, but he has never seen the spare tire!! Anyway I told him how to see the tire ;-). When we saw the tire it was more of a joke!! It was just half the size of normal car tire. We were really wondering if its really meant to be a replacement tire!!
Anyway after some time Suchit also came. We somehow managed to change the tire in freezing cold. I came with Suchit in his car. We were following Diwakar and Santosh. The sight for us was real good! The car with the small tire looked very funny! But as they say everythings well that ends well. So we finally reached home, and I made tea. I must take the credit for making a nice tea :-). It was a nice outing afterall ;-)
