My experiments with cooking...

This happened 2 years back when I had travelled to Melbourne for the first time.
I was staying in a 2 bedroom aptmt along with my colleagues. We were 4 of us staying together.

I was quite new to the world of cooking. As in I knew to prepare maggie, and I wud prepare my own variety of dishes but that wud be served only for me. Never had experimented on others.
But now I had to cook, or atleast help my friends in cooking. One night we returned late from office. It was around 10pm or so. And we had decided to cook chapathi and some sabji. Shilpa my roomie there was an expert in preparing chapatis and Maya another roomie of mine was an expert in cooking delicious south indian food.

It was 10 30 pm and the cooking session started in full swing. we were preparing chapatis and there was lot of smoke coming out of the frying pan as we were cooking. Suddenly one of us saw the red lights blinking in the smoke detector. And all of us shouted in terror. Coz if the smoke detector turns on, then, fire alarm would ring and the fire rescue squad will come and if incase they dont find any fire then we may have to pay sme hefty penalty for false alarm. This is wat was told to me. We were so scared about it.. that all of us took the vesseles to the balcony and tried to put off the smoke.. We tried all possible methods.

That was a sight to see.. And then after some time we returned back to kitchen only to realize that the indicator keeps blinking once in a while.. and we simply were worried about the whole incident.

Now when I sit back n think about this i start laughing thinking how we were duped by the smoke detectors.
