When i was in college, our gang used to hang out in one of my friend's place for combine studies. I used to go to her house jus for studying and there were two other guys who came for learnin lessons.
During 7th semester study holls, there was heavy downpour almost every evening. One fine evening, as usual, it was raining heavily. My friend's mom had made yummy sandwiches for all the 4 of us. There was no tomato ketchup at home. So me and other two guys decided to get one at the nearby grocery shop.
It was raining heavily.. With great difficulty we managed to go to the shop. We asked the shopkeeper for a small bottle of ketchup. He told us "pasangala en kitta oru bottle ketchup thaan iruku. mazhai naala saraku varala". (i have just one bottle of ketchup, coz of incessant rains, we have not purchased goods)
We were quite happy that atlst one bottle of ketchup was available. I remember tat day was the last day of the month. After buyin the ketchup, i saw the expiry date. It said best before november 1st 2005. We were seeing each others face. one guy said "dai machan vidu da, nalaiku thaane expiry date..namma innikae gaali panniruvom..ketchup illama sandwich saapda mudiyaathu mapi"(dude tom is only the expiry date rite?y do we retain the sauce till tom?we shall finish it by today itself)
With that ketchup bottle, we went home and had those yummy sandwiches. Guess wat ? we emptied the whole bottle of ketchup tat night itself. we could better say sandwiches for ketchup instead of ketchup for sandwiches.
