We - me, N & S were at this shopping mart - grocery store kinds. Sale was ending as was the day. The prices of the groceries were increasing. Weird. Probably demand-supply ratio. N said that we will not buy anything as prices are increasing. Then we saw cheese prices were going down. So we decided to buy it. We were the last ones to get out of the store. There were three guys too having fun - singing and playing pranks on one another. It was just five or six in the evening. We were sitting outside on the parapet.
The three guys were a distance away from us gossiping among themselves stealing glances at us. We paid no heed to them and turned our faces away. Suddenly one of them sat on the edge of the parapet and the other two surrounded him. The one sitting broke out into a song loudly. I even recollected the words for sometime, now I don't.
We were shocked for a moment. Then we burst out laughing. "You came back to sing a song?" we asked. They were flabbergasted for a moment. Perhaps they were expecting us to get wild. Instead we laughed. They blinked and then nodded their heads in affirmative. Then they gave sheepish grins and started singing the very same song in a sing-song voice as friends are wont to do when enjoying themselves.
P.S. Shopping - I get it with all the grocery store shopping I have been doing for the past three days continuously. But singing? Now that was a weird one.
