FREE !!!!



I am amused. Very amused. This mirth is because I have encountered the most rocking "free" offer ever!
Ma bought a box of strawberries the other day. The typical thing... rectangular cardboard box, full of green stuff, n a sparse layer of strawberries on top. Mostly it's a waste of money, but I suppose her actions were governed by the years of tradition that insist one must eat the fruit of the season! So anyway, to continue - she bought the strawberries, and handed the box over to me to 'deal with'.Meaning, check if all the strawberries are in decent non-pulpy condition, fill into container, and dispose off the rest.

So of course, I had to do something to feel like I was not being very helpful! After disposing off the strawberries (some stomach wards), I started rummaging through the green stuff to "check for more strawberries" - basically to make a nuisance of myself.
And wonder of wonders.... I did find something! Not red and triangular faced with green hair and freckles, but slender and green and hot! A very pretty hari mirchi! Now of course, I had the license to do this in style..... and dumped the whole thing out and sorted through it. I ended up with enough green chilli's to use for a couple of spicy meals at least.

I'm liking this. Free offers, zindabad!
