Yesterday seemed like a nice day... It was Chetans B'Day actually and as much as I hate him.. I stil had D intention of surprising him. After all, It is every1s right 2 b pampered on his b'day ;-) So my first task (as always) was 2 get him a nice cake... But D problem was dat this guy does not eat eggs.. n cakes have eggs.. So now it was a question of finding a place ver I cud get Eggless cake..

After eating D heads of my colleagues here I finally got D address of a place ver I might find Eggless cake.. Dat shop closes at 1800Hrs. Dat meant dat I had just over 1/2 hour 2 get 2 D shop... So I hurried off frm office n took D Subway 2 D stop... Got off at Zipperrerstrasse. D shop was in between Ziperrerstrasse and Enkplatz (D place ver I liv). So I planned getting down at ziperrer n ten walkin it up 2 Enkplatz pickin up D cake on D way...

NEways.. everything seemed to go like I had planned until a young lady stopped me just outside D station.. I hav been stopped by ppl before in order 2 ask for sum change for cigarettes n I Xpected this 2 b 1 of D same.. But then ven she started her story I cud not help but believe the genuinity of it.. It seems she was here for finding wrk n her luggage had got stolen n she had a police registration of the same.. So she said she did not have money 2 eat 2 rent a hotel.. Well, I knew better tan 2 believe dat kind of story.. But I just felt like believing her for dat moment.. So I put my hand in my pocket n removed a 10EUR note.. gave it 2 her and said.. Hope that wud b enuf for u atleast for 2day...

She suddenly stopped talkin.. like she was dumbfound at D unexpected gesture.. I normally began walkin my way... I knew I did not hav enuf time bfore my cake shop closed.. n suddenly I heard sum1 running behind me... ven I stopped n turned back.. I was greated by the most natural hug Ive ever got frm a girl.. I was astound by it.. a lil pleased n a lil embarrassed too.. It was D same female I had just givn D 10 EUR bill.. She had begun 2 weep.. n said dat I was D first person who even stopped 2 listen 2 her story...

Well... all I kept saying was "its ok..." but she was not ready 2 let go... I did not believe dat I actually pushed her aside after sumtime (wot D hell was I thinknig.. I cud have just stood ter!!).. but NEways... It seemed quite funny coz everytime I pushed her.. she spoke 2 sentences n was overwhelmed again.. n hugged me again!!!

It happened 2 or 3 times before I actually said.. Xcuse me.. but Im gettin a lil late for sumthin... N ten she finally got sum control over herself.. I started 2 walk off 2wards D cake shop n I cud Still hear her endlessly thanking me n blessing me n all dat stuff until D voice became too soft 2 be audible...

I was already late n D shop had closed.. So I vent home n tried makin up sum kheer.. but was so engrossed n dat spontaeneous hug dat I think I burned D milk..

NEways... Overall I wud rate it quite a happening day for me... dunno bout Chetan ... he had 2 eat D burnt kheer rite ;-)
