Rained out!

Last Sunday was the Little Sisters of the Poor mini fete and as part of our corporate social responsibility we decided to sell some hot dogs for them and donate all the proceedings from the sale. Little did we know Bangalore's weather had other plans.
The morning began, dull and over cast, but like it had been for the past few days we assumed the gloom would step aside for some bright sunshine. Wishful thinking! The gloom got worse and by 11AM the clouds had given way to a steady drizzle...we still had hope, a steady drizzle wasn't so bad, right?... that's what we thought too!
We were scheduled to set up our stall at 12PM and by the time we got to the old age home, the crowd had thinned and it looked like our hot dogs probably wouldn't sell, nonetheless we set up the stall and waited for our customers. Barely 5minutes in and we had two customers who bought 10 hot dogs, we were amazed and pretty darn glad, but then the rain got worse and our tent began to leak!!!!
By this time we noticed there was almost no one walking around, so we made a few hot dogs packed them into a cardboard box and decided to go inside the building and hand out the hot dogs to the 'young' boarders. As we stepped on to the corridors it was like we stepped in to a whole new world, stalls had been shifted inside, there were people calling out to customers, old timers were getting their groove on, some hopefuls trying to win themselves a car and then some, the air was festive and the weather had nothing to do with it.
We placed ourselves on the corridor with our box of hot dogs and in less than an hour all our hot dogs were over!!!! Yes, we managed to sell every single one!
Freezing but happy with the sale we finally packed up and headed back to the diner, it was and interesting afternoon, just the way we like it!
