FRENCH RED WINE WITH GRILLED CHICKEN

“Uff, every weekend, we are getting bored of drinking either whisky, rum or beer”, I said to both Prady and Baccha.

Prady then suggested, “Can we try out “Red Wine”, one day”?

Baccha said, “Oh! It is too expensive, boss”. We then convinced him, that, it is for doing the experimentation. If it’s a success, then we will go for it once in every month, otherwise, it will not be considered. Baccha agreed.Then our “Wine” operation started. We started searching for the wine shop, where we can get the “French Red Wine”.

“Oi toh, there is a wine shop, beside “Lamsa Tea”, I shouted, while we were walking towards Secundrabad station, from Paradise Circle. We bought the “French Red Wine”, at Rs. 790/-. The bottle contains 750 ml.Baccha said, “Hmm, but we don’t have those special wine glasses”. “Don’t worry yaar! We will drink in plastic glasses only”, confirmed Prady, and we bought 3 plastic glasses, each of 1 rupee. “Ei, what will be our chaat, boss?” I asked them. They happily said that they will take 2 full plates of “Chicken Tandoori” from Alpha Hotel of Secundrabad.

We came home with that wine bottle and Tandoori Chicken. But, alas, more surprises were waiting for us. Somesh, our roommate told us, “Oho, I forgot to tell you people one thing, that, this wine bottle cannot be opened by ordinary opener. You need to have a separate “Cork-opener” to open this wine bottle. At that time, it was 11.30 PM. We tried to open the cork, by using screw drivers, scissors and needle, but failed to open it.That night, was a sorrowful night for us. We slept, by eating only the Chicken Tandoori, and keeping the wine bottle in a separate place.

The next weekend, we were again all charged up and excited. We started searching for that “Cork-opener” everywhere. But all in vain, neither it was in any hardware shop of Paradise circle, nor in the Munna market. It was Prady, who searched and found that. He went to “Big Bazaar” of Ameerpet, but it was not there. Then, he searched it, in some hardware stores, near one Gurudwara in Ameerpet, and got it at the price of Rs. 250/-.When, we received the news, that we have got the cork-opener, we were very excited.

At least, on this night, we will enjoy the red wine. But, on that night, we decided to change our chaat. We went to Alpha Hotel, and asked the Manager, “Accha, what is the difference between ‘Grilled Chicken’ and ‘Tandoori Chicken’?” The manager said, that, “Grilled Chicken is done in an electrical oven, where meat is more, and it is not that actual moghlai type, where it is burnt in a moghlai oven”. Anyway, to experiment grilled chicken, we bought it.

At last, we had a fabulous “Sharaabi Night”. We opened the cork, with that special opener. Everyone was so excited. But, boss, the amount of Grilled chicken, was too much for our stomach.But, the wine was superb. After 2 pegs, we really enjoyed the drink. The chicken, the cigarette, the darkness of the night, and the quarrels of the program “MTV Roadies 6.0”, all made a perfect combination to transform you as a “Modern Drunkard”.Why are you waiting for me to tell you, “That have some “French Red Wine” with “Grilled Chicken”.Just go and have it, in this weekend, boss. Best of Luck!!! “.
