I love my friends do you ?


I love my friends do you ?
I tell my problems to my friends I think everyone does so , well I do so out of habit . We share right from ice cream to our problems with them . We share our moments of happiness to our moments of dismay . Whenever we share our problems with them we get to learn something new . We generally don’t expect a reasonable solution from them but we share our problems with them . We love them !

 
It was sometime back that I had a bad day at work when the project didn’t go as desired and I was not at my best . I went over to her place as usual weekend meet that we have and poured my heart out . Here is the story :
Hey Aria ! How are you ?
Good sweetie ! How are you ?
We hugged and kissed in air . In India it is common to hug your friends oh girls don’t hug guys and guys shouldn’t hug girls . You might find this gross but it’s the norm here. After chit – chat , gossip , news sharing , …… I told her about my bad day at work and the bitch at my work place who was making things difficult . We bitched about her beyond anyone’s imagination right from calling her the chairman’s mistress to a half wit moron ……. We questioned everything about her right from her dressing sense to her husband’s extra marital affair ……… her need of a live – in – maid ….. her sons resemblance to her neighbors  driver ….. we bitched so much that our throats went dry and we were quite hungry  …. We forgot to keep track of time and it was very late . We were done with the issue on hand and decided to move on ……  

 
We logged in to some online stores jabong , myntra , zivame , ……. Simultaneously . There were around 6 – 8 tabs that we kept peeping into looking out for something  desirable  and compared the prices , different available sizes , delivery time ,…… we compared whatever we could compare . It’s online stores and since browsing doesn’t cause any physical exhaustion we browsed and browsed and browsed and ……. We ordered for pizza …….. had a few slices with bear …….. watched some tv ….. and came in ‘burn notice’ and ‘mojito’ ……..thought of making mojito …….. we browsed for the recipe of mojito and voila ! it’s simple ....
You need five ingredients : white rum [we had Smirnoff white rum which would do], sugar cane juice [we didn’t have this ingredient and it is difficult to get one in the middle of the night at around 2 am, so we substituted it with sugar syrup which was a solution that we found after a little more browsing], lime  juice, water and mint leaves .
Now the preparation : Add lime juice to sugar syrup and mint leaves and then mashed it softly with muddler . We managed to just bruise the mint leaves and not mash it completely . Aria did insist that we should run it in the mixer after she had a few shots of neat rum but then ……. She settled on the kitchen table . Then I added 60 ml rum to the mixture and stirred it to mix the sugar syrup and let the mint leaves rise from the bottom . Topped the drink with ice cubes and water. Kicked Aria up and offered her mojito !!! It turned out well if that is what it tastes like ………

 
I learned how to make mojito !!!!!! Though the bitch is still there but I changed my job but still bitch about her from time to time when her co – workers and my friends who are still stuck up with her have something to bitch about . That’s what friends are for ?????????
