Rendezvous with an Egg!!!

Let me begin my blogs with the stupidest thing I have ever done - My rendezvous with an egg !!!

This happend some years back when I was in my 11th std. Lemme tell you one thing I am a pure vegeterian by diet.

So here it goes.. One day my friend Tejaswini (Teju) and I were walking to a grocery shop. Teju wanted to buy an egg. She had plans to apply mehendi on her hair and she wanted to mix an egg as it is a good conditioner. Here goes the conversation between Teju and I.

Pulse: So teju why are u buying an egg?
Teju: To mix with mehendi and apply to hair.
Pulse: So what in egg do u mix?
Teju: The white part
Pulse: And what about the yellow thing?
Teju: Yellow, I generally dont mix coz it gives a bad smell
Pulse: Ok...so u dont mix the yellow thing .. its only the white part which is to be used?
Teju: Yes
Pulse : Ok..

N then we reached the groceries shop and Teju bought 2 eggs.
One saturday morning, I decided to apply mehendi on my hair. I was quite excited about it as I had planned to mix egg as well this time. Never in my life I had experimented with an egg. I asked my mom if I can do so. My parents being very strict orthodox brahmins straightly denied my request. N then I started off with my pursuading skills. Finally she agreed. I happily went off to the groceries shop and bought an egg. I came home n directly went to the kitchen. Mom stared at me and started shouting at me for bringing an egg to the kitchen. So I had to run to the backyard of my house.

Here I was at the back yard of my home with my mehendi contents mixed in a vessel and an egg in another bowl. Now starts the exciting moment. I dont know how to break an egg.. I remembered seeing some stunts in movies were the heros try to break open the egg and prepare an omlett. So now I also try to do the same thing. I break the egg with some hard substance . N then I pour all the yellow contents down the drain. Now I crush the egg shell and mix it with my mehndi contents. It was really tough crushing them I say . And then now my mehendi mixture is ready to be used.

By this time, my mom comes to check out what I am doin. she saw the egg shell mixed in the mehendi and she starts screaming at me. I am so dumb founded. I was like mom.. see you should be feeling great about your daughter coz she has not taken any help from you but she has managed to cut open the egg and mix the egg white with the mehendi.

Mom bursts out laughing then saying Pallavi egg shell is not egg white.. Egg white is a liquid inside the egg. I totally disagreed with her. I was like mom see there are only two parts in egg. the yellow thing and the white thing. Teju told me not to add yellow thing coz its stinks. so now i have added the white thing to my mehendi. That is the egg shell . And mom if you can see, go to the gardens were there are rose plants planted. They would have mixed the soil with egg shell
and not with the other contents of egg. At this, mom couldnt control her laugh. All she could do was laugh at her daughters stupidity.

But I still dint believe my mom. For me what I did was write. And I so very much wanted to prove to my mom the same. I called up some of my frends and I asked them whats an egg white. They all told me that it is the liquid inside the egg :( By this time they got to know my story and all bursted out laughing.

And then I was titled ' Egg shell'

How stupid I was I say [:)]
