“Anna oru Tea”! Sathish ordered for tea at Coimbatore railway station. It was second year in our college when the teachers of our computer department decided to take us for Industrial visit to a distant place, to learn new people, new culture and to see how a company works! Should admit that it was a great idea even though none of them worked! And they chose a place that suits all their motives- Hyderabad!!! It was a shock for we guys who were dreaming of getting IV to GOA or KASHMIR. Some were even dreaming of IV to Pennsylvania!! However, something is better than nothing. Changing this as our motto we packed for Hyderabad and assembled at Coimbatore railway station at 3 O’ clock in afternoon.
The departure of the train was supposed to be at 3.30 PM. However, as expected in the case of Indian railways, the train was running late by 5 hours. I’m not sure whether Suersh heard the announcement for late running train, but I could see him running out of Railway station to Meenakhsi bar opposite the station.
Then, Deva sir came with an idea to spend five hours. We’ll go to Mc Donald’s and have something. Many were dropping their jaws out hearing that. Treat by our college at MCD!!! Wow! However I have never in my life been to Mc Donald’s. Thanks to Mc Dowell’s for helping me to pronounce Mc Donald’s! Wherever I go, I had a habit of ordering the costliest and largest when it is a treat by someone. As I entered MCD, HOD asked me what I want. There were some pictures on the wall, from that I selected something called double-decker burger. I didn’t know whether it is sweet or sour or spicy! I analysed from the picture that it is a piece of cutlet and tomatoes and onions in between two piece of Bun!!
I got my burger and had to sit with HOD and David sir. As it was the first time I’m seeing such an item, I had to pretend talking on mobile waiting for them to start having theirs. So that I can eat like how they do. I saw them opening their mouth and biting it. I too tried opening my mouth and biting it. However, I was not able reach that big sized burger completely. I opened more widely and gave a try. This time also Burger succeeded. Then I even thought of removing two or three layers of burger to facilitate biting. Prayed to all Gods on earth, I opened my mouth full wide, closed my eyes and drilled my teeth into the burger. I opened my eyes hearing the yelling and shouting of HOD. I could see his shirt designed with tomatoes, onions, cheese and all!!An excellent design which even Van Huesen designers cannot make! Even though I was not Einstein, I could understand that it was the after effect of my attempt to attack the burger!! After that incident, no one who knows this incident has never offered me a burger!
Thus having burger, in fact trying to have a burger followed by lot of mishaps onto Hyderabad, the land of Nizams to commit more mishaps!!!
