Shoe-washer

As lazy as I always am after work, I chucked my shoes into the washing machine only to realise that I could possibly be the first person in the history of mankind to use a washing machine to clean shoes! To my delight, the shoes came out spick and span.

And so here is my first contribution to society - an easy shoe-washer for the lazy and the likes.

ps: Do not be concerned about the noise as the washer tumbles your shoes around. Your shoes are never going to break or deform the stainless steel drum.

Superheros

You can always tell what a pickle you are in when you keep flipping through the menu over and over again, and look up often to see if any other in the table has decided like you to quietly slip out of the restaurant.

Peela: evlovo pannitom, idha pannamaatoma?

Damn Peela.

I scanned through the prices and pencilled in on the cheapest main course available.

Waiter: Sir, are you ready to order?

Raja: Oh, yes. Three of these please (pointing to my selection. No prizes for guessing that all of us wanted to eat the same unpronouncable dish!)

Waiter: Any starters?

Raja: No, we are good. We are in a hurry. We would like a quick lunch.

Waiter: Drinks? Juice? Wine?

I looked at Peela with a questioning look and asked hesitantly, 'Juice?'

Peela: 'Or mineral water?' He turned over to Officer with the same embarrassed hesitant questioning look and asked again. 'Mineral water?'

Officer: Tap water.

The waiter did not ask another question!

While many of us struggle to say the evident, there are those few who can take that extra leap for the rest of us. They are our superheros!
