Popcorn's day out!!!!!!!!!

Well well, my friend dhu dhu wanted me to write a story or an incident in my life.. So suddenly remembered my popcorn making adventurous, ambitious project.... :) This happened when i was in 12th Std. My friend came to me beaming on a Monday morning.... Being a curious pot, I asked her right away... Almost expecting my question, she blurted out that she had made popcorn at home (successfully) the previous day (Sunday of course)... I was surprised... till then i didnt know that even a lay person could make popcorn.....at home!!!! without that revolving drum... (sorry...i donno the name of the equipment...) if u r not aware.... jus check out at Sathyam....... I asked her the procedure n decided to try it out at home the same day.... The day seemed to be unusually long... couldn't hide my excitement.... After reaching home, i took money n dashed to the nearest store to buy corn.. After succeeding in buying one, i returned home elated... After much of begging, my mom suspiciously agreed to lend me her neat n tidy kitchen to try out my project.... My mom kept asking if i knew the procedure... Well i quickly ran my friend's conversation in my mind... I wanted to tell my mom [am not sure...] but out came the reply... (To my surprise!!!) Yes ma... So i took the kadai, added salt, turmeric, chilli powder as my friend had told... n finally the corn.. (hey copyrights reserved for my recipe... no plagiarism!!!!..). i kept tossing n tossing....nothing happened...then finally it happened!!!! One corn jus burst open...n there!!!! I could see the familiar popcorn.... i was overjoyed!!!! jus wanted to call my mom n show her my masterpiece!!! She was in the pooja room (very pious she is!... was probably praying that her kitchen should be safe n sound at the end of my gatecrash!!!!) But OMG, before i could open my mouth to call my mom, something hit me on my face!!.......n then right on my head!!!!!.. I was too stunned to call my mom, witnessing what was happening before my eyes..... All the corns in the kadai were popping n flying in all directions... some of them managed to target me...I couldnt comprehend what was happening..I thought something was wrong, jus turned-off the gas n ran out to my mom... My mom saw my terrorized face n was alarmed!!! But something brought a naughty smile on her face.. She rushed to the kitchen.... n lo.....the entire kitchen was filled with popcorn.. Popcorn on the kitchen table, over the water pail, floor, window, sink...cooker....everywhere....except in the kadai where it was prepared!!!!!!.....What a scene it was!! My mom's kitchen had become 'Me the great's playground'... Was preparing myself for my mom's words....but she started laughing.... I was confused.... She slowly picked up a popcorn from my head....Well i should say the popped corn was very loyal... it had stood firm there (clinging) inspite of my PT Usha sprint to call my mom!!!! My mom couldnt help laughing.... I felt bad initially, but thought it wise to laugh with her... I wiped the tears of joy n picked up the popcorns.. Was happy that even i had succeeded!!! The next day, I told my friend; after making her promise 'n' number of times that she wouldnt tell anybody nor would she burst out laughing........ n finally when i did tell her, my my!!!!!! i should say the popcorns burst a bit gently.... She roared with laughter.... Finally, when she was in a speakable stage, she said ( of course in between her laughter riot) that i had forgotten something major!!!!! ---------To close the kadai after adding the corns!!!!!! Gosh, what a mistake that was!!!!! Well, till today, i have never made popcorn at home... However, whenever, i pick up popcorn during the interval at theatres, i remember that great day and a smile crosses my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!
