Deposit travails

Uncle had been acting iffy since the last 4-5 days. The thought that he would renege on his promise of returning our deposits had entered my mind, & our worst fears came true when he said he couldn't return our deposits since he was banking on the future renters of our room to pay him the deposit which he in turn would have returned to us! All the world's expletives wouldn't have done justice to this insane logic. Sid almost blew up in Uncle's face & demanded a talk with the actual landlady. She in turn asked us not to worry, go home & that she would send a D.D. to us soon. As Sharad Kapur said in JOSH, "halwa hai kya?", no way, the 3 of us wouldn't budge from his room till we got something to take home. Ultimately, uncle managed to get us a post dated check from the guy whose friends wanted to rent our room once we left. It's dated 7th May 2005. Let's see what happens that day.

The Sid & Sittu back to back drinking spree is on its 7th day today.
