Shifting houses is no small feat. So after my mum
moved into her new place we were all terribly tired but we were quite proud of
the fact that we were able to do it in one day. (Three cheers to the church
guys for doing all the heavy lifting)
So a few days into the new place, my brothers and I
decided to order a pizza. When the lady on the other end of phone asked for the
address I did my best to explain clearly, mentioning the landmarks nearby and
the colour of the house.
The pizza and desserts arrived only after an excruciating hour because it began to rain heavily. After eating, when we were clearing the table I had a glance at the receipt and to my amusement in the address it was written White House, Shillong……..I had told the lady that the colour of the house was white.
