College Coochie coos

Most of us have had our first romantic encounters in college. My first kiss happened during my second year in college, when I moved into the hostel. It happened one hot summer night under the porch of a dimly lit building.  I came to know later that it was the Hospital Mortuary and I was understandably .... mortified!!

I joined the rank of ‘already taken’ girls and ‘in-love’ couples and started to indulge in what girls and boys of that age would normally do .. Coochie coo.... Bushes were our first choice and bikes doubled up as an indicator for bush occupancy.

Once there was an acute shortage of nocturnal meeting place. Statistically speaking, the Bush / Couple ratio dropped. So, my Mallu friend who had recently acquired a Telugu boyfriend and I decided to go 'Cootchi-coo place' hunting. Torch in hand and self-interest in mind we went searching one night. We listed about 10 places and did a Red Hot Count Down for the Numero uno spot. It turned out to be an abandoned kitchen of the Tuberculosis Department!

Life went on. My friend and I married the guys we dated.  Her marriage is going strong and mine didn't.

       MORGUE

           
           Moral of the story

Under a mistletoe, there is always a kiss

Outside a morgue, better give it a miss!
