For the moment I am going to add stories and memories here. I will re-organise it when more stories start coming in. If you have any stories or memories about an occasion involving Chiraag, then please email me and I will defeiently add them here.
The more stories, the more memories we can all share together.
"We (i.e. Sanj, Mandy, Raj, Chiggers and I) were lying next to the pool in Varadero, Cuba, sipping on our mohitos when this lady came up to us. She was selling t-shirts and said to us, why don't you guys buy a t-shirt and put a picture of one of your friends on the front of it. We looked at each other and thought, yeah maybe. Chiggers being Chiggers, removed his sunglasses and said to her, "Why would I put a picture of your ugly mug on my t-shirt across my chest?" We all started cracking up with laughter and the woman promptly left in a huff. We looked at Chiggers and said to him, "Why d'you say that to her for, that was so rude, bang out of order?" Chiggers replied, "I was saying that about Palit," We started laughing even more and I said, "yeah Chiggers but you were looking directly at her when you said it and didn't even glance in my direction once, so how would anyone have known that you were talking about me?" We continued to laugh and Chiggers simply put his sunglasses back on and continued to sip his drink. Let's just say the woman never came back but it summed Chiggers up, he was that confident that he was never afraid to say anything, even if it was to an unknown stranger............." |

| "Going back to Varadero again, one late afternoon we were sitting on the beach sipping Mohitos (c'mon it was free booze so we decided to make the most of it), just chatting amongst one another. This Greek woman came up and said to us, "how much does it cost to hire out these boats?" She obviously thought that we were "beach hands" and worked there (not exactly a compliment, huh?).
So, we looked at each other thinking, what is she going on about? Then realised that she was referring to the boats which were near to us. So, Chiggers being the cocky one said "on no we don't work here and so don't know how much they cost." Chiggers then sensed this being a lady, a more mature lady I might add, this would be the perfect opportunity to speak to her. He asked where she was from and she replied from Greece. Now, Chiggers being the great traveller thought he would impress her by talking about his travels to Greece. He said, "oh yeah I've been to Corfu. Couldn't stand the place, I would never go there again." We again looked each other, mouths wide open thinking where did that come from. The woman said thank you to us and rapidly turned around and walked away. Once she was gone, we said to Chiggers, "What d'you say that for?" Chiggers replied, "I don't like Corfu, wouldn't go there again". We said, "Chiggers how d'you know she wasn't from Corfu?" Chiggers said "nah I don't think she was, I reckon she would have been from the mainland." We said "chiggers, yeah right that was probably why she walked away so quickly seeing as you cussed her country and Corfu in particular." Funny thing was, we never did find out where she was from................" |
