Holiday Squashed!

A very happy new year to all followers, non-followers & accidental visitors. Being as this might be the last year civilization may survive(/s), I have decided to try some new things.

Today's new thing is to try and come up with a new dish. A recipe of my own. This has two fold advantages:

  1. I get a backup career option.
  2. I get to work with chips.
So without further ado here it is:

Recipe: Holiday squashed

Ingredients

2 or more consecutive holidays.
  • 2 or more wanna-be social chipmunks.(aka Duckfaces, or those on the way to ADD)
  • 1 tag-alonger. and Finally
  • Chemical X - The deadly digital or compact camera.

Directions 
  1. Obtain a Mr Tag along, Pappu, who has a long weekend & wishes to combat the rising boredom levels that his slow office net can no longer kill. He decides to use the bank balance which he usually swims in to go on a small getaway with his social chipmunk friend Tina.
  2. Tina is thrilled at the idea and asks if she could bring along Nina, social chipmunk no. 2. Pappu tags along not knowing of the horrors that await him.
  3. The fateful day arrives and the trio land up at their intended destination.
  4. At that moment, Nina removes from her purse an object so shiny it blinds our poor Pappu. It is none other than, Chemical X - The digicam. Tina asks if pappu has any water with him as she didn't have any room to pack in the bag.
  5. From that moment onwards, to the rest of the trip Pappu's is the functional equivalent of a tripod stand capable of clicking repetitive "profile pictures" automatically.
  6. Pappu's patience wears thin, but suddenly if God took pity on his plight, a glimmer of hope, the 8GB memory card is finally exhausted.
  7. Even though both physically and mentally tired Pappu finally feels happy that he can enjoy the rest 47 hrs of this weekend.
  8. At that moment, Nina brings out the bulldozer that rams through Pappu's soul like WWE wrestler Yokuzona rams through Anand Bhatia. Pappu faints and is rushed to the hospital.
  9. The doctor informs his friends that their friend has suffered a stroke but wonders what could have caused such a thing on a holiday.
  10. Nina casually wonders the same replacing the 32GB card she had kept as a backup.
The End.
