The taste of pepsi

It was the summers in school time. 7th standard i suppose. It was a shirt drenched in sweat playing in the PKD school grounds. We all were returning back home. None of us had a paisa left. Except V.prabu. He had a ten rupee note.

Luckily, pepsi then costs around that amount in the nearby grocery shop. The shop owner was one kindhearted to give us three straws for a bottle of pepsi. Me, V.Prabu and Saravana Kumar took the other end of each of the straw and started sipping. 3 in 1 kind of.

Amazingly, the sweat and the thirst in the tongue made me relish the taste of pepsi like anything.. It went empty in no time(duh!).

It was the first and (until now) last time pepsi tasted the ultimate best and when i managed to drink it without the gases escaping through the nostrils.

Sadly, Saravana Kumar is no-more.
