So, last weekend, we went for our monthly grocery expedition. We had gone to the supermarket with a strict list of items to buy and we were very focused on the job. It was all going well, untill I accidentally reached the Beverages section. Suddenly, I was ticking off the drinks that I had already tried and was scanning for the ultimate takeaway. And then I found this beauty, tucked nicely beneath all the regular, stupid, muggle flavours!
Surprisingly, my roommate was very supportive of this move, as we have lately been on a quest to the ultimate healthy diet. The refrigerator is often overflowing with fruits. Reaching home, I safely preserved it in the refrigerator and went on to do my daily chores. When I returned, I found it unpacked. A glass with unfinished purple fluid lay right next. I couldn't resist any longer. So I took out another glass, poured down the thick, pulpy-purple juice and took a sip. At first, I couldn't feel anything. And then there was the aftertaste, of raw Jamuns, as if already chewed by someone else and the pulp now rolling down your tongue, some bits getting stuck between the teeth. And I really didn't quite understand if I liked it or not. Until my roommate saw me drinking it. He gave me a look of ultimate disgust and immediately I knew my purpose has been fulfilled. I magically developed a liking for the taste.
I didn't finish it though. Instead, I preserved it and started offering it to anyone who visited. Oh, the sheer joy of having accomplished something that I get, when I see people about to throw up a drink I offer! It just makes my day!
My roommate has stopped partnering with me in any drinkable items I bring. He has even stopped drinking milk that I bring from the market!
Poor guy! Such a loser!
