Water from a laptop

The setting is of a time during or around the WW II. The place resembles the many towns that were shown in Saving Private Ryan or any of the WW II games. Mom, dad and I are hiding behind a wall that has a considerable portion blown off to form a U shaped cut in the wall.

We jump across and take cover behind a van parked there. All is quiet. The houses around are in rubble. Quickly we run across the road and dad takes us up a flight of stairs. We enter a room which looks pretty normal. No signs of any damage whatsoever.

An elderly man is sitting on a chair. Dad goes up to him and talks about something. Then he asks us if we need water. Now, water was definitely needed as we had been running and hiding for over two hours. We walk to the other side of the wooden partition and there we see a tap's nozzle. But there's no controller on top of it. It's attached to the bottom of a stupid looking IBM laptop which in turn is connected to a pipe coming from the wall. Very strange.

The old man shouts from across the room that we need to press the left-click button on the laptop to get water. We do accordingly and quench our thirst. Pretty innovative considering its the 1940s. Isn't it ?

Free Dinner

It's an unforgettable day. The opposition parties have somehow enforced a complete closure of all the shops, businesses etc. in Delhi for a day to oppose the government's policies. Even the hostel mess and the canteen are down. It's dinner time and all of us in the hostel are hungry as hell. But, there's no option. All the restaurants, eating joints are closed.

Then Mr. ----- comes up with something in his hand. On close examination it looks like a wedding reception invitation. All sorts of epithets come to my mind for him as he is gonna have a sumptuous dinner while we all here would just roll from side to side on our beds.

He hands over the invitation card to me. I think he's giving it to me to have a look. I open up the envelope and take out the card. It says '----- weds -----' ( I don't remember the names). He then points to us that it's his gf's sister's wedding. I take another look at the card and an anomaly crops up. His gf's name starts with the same letter but it's a different name...which means a different girl. When did he end with his last endeavour that he is now into a new one ?

Anyway, three of us get a free dinner invite and we are off to Noida in a car (supposedly his gf's car).
