The past one week has had many ‘tedious’ moments, mostly because in a bustling metropolis like Mumbai, one has to pander to several egos, of all colours, shapes and sizes. However, there have been some lighter moments, that seem rather comical in retrospect.
Last Sunday, post my weekly brunch gig. I headed to my first-ever boss’s house for an evening of catching up, sinful food and unlimited alcohol.
She was drinking whiskey, I was having white wine, and another friend was sticking to a breezer as he had to head back to work.
So, she tried to open a bottle of white wine with a cork screw, in vain. Then I fiddled clumsily for a bit, but to no avail.
You know that feeling, when you are soooo hungry, that your steel tiffinbox will refuse to open — well, the white wine looked very enticing, due to which, the cork screw was being very stubborn.
These are times, when ‘how-tos’ or the self-hep manual can swoop in and save the day. We googled, and located a perfect step-by-step guide to uncorking a bottle of wine.
And voila, the deed was done!
