I think i was in class 6 or 7 when our new canteen wala started selling this new chocolate Pan pasand in the school canteen.There was a very good ad which used to come in DD -1 at that time, i think they stopped selling this now. Never found this in any shop after completing school :(.It used to cost 25p paise at that time. Somebody gave it to me once (rather i took it from him) and i liked it very very much. But at that time there was no daily pocket money for me and was meant to be given only in some festivals. So eating Pan pasand was restricted only when some of my friends gave me (they became very good friends once they gave me) or when i used to get(take) some chillars from the Pooja or when my mummy/papa gave me some when looking at my innocent(crying) face. (I got so many things using that innocent/crying face. Now after so many years i am never able to make that same face again)
And one fine day in the 2nd period one back bencher came to me (he used to sit in the last bench and me in 2nd last:) ) and told me that his friend (used to sit with him) has told that if i give my science notes (i was supposed to be very good in science, in fact good in all the subjects) he will give me 10 pan pasand. I looked at his friend and saw that his expression was as if he will pass the exam only if he gets my notes (i should tell that his fail percentage was more than his pass %). I was in a dilemma what to do . Even if he would have asked directly for the notes i would have given him and thought of telling him that you can take the notes without giving anything. (thinking that he will thrust some pan pasand in my hands as appreciation of my good deed). But 10 pan pasand was too much for me and my greediness gave in and i said ok . I gave my notes to him and he went back to the pan pasand (back bencher) guy, had a small talk and came back and gave me 8 saying he will give 2 tomorrow. I thought of taking my notes back thinking how can he do that. Anything else i would have agreed but two pan pasand..... But again i never had more that 2 pan pasand at a time in one day so i thought 8 is ok...somehow i will manage..
I had one instantly and thought of having 3 more today and keeping 4 for tomorrow. But keeping pan pasand in my pocket was really tough and i ended up sharing one with another of my friend (Nobody shoud have a friend like him, saala he took my pan pasand).
So i got scared and had two one after other.That time the lunch bell rung and i went outside and to my bad luck one sir caught me and asked "are you a girl why have you put lipstick?" I was like how can he tell that.(At that time getting compared to a girl was too much a insult for me, I think can say the same thing about getting compared to a girl now also.No offence to anybody:)) I told him i had pan pasand that's why my lips are red. He took me to the staff room and shouted in front of all the teachers "see this guy has applied lipstick, go and wash you face". Everybody started laughing anfd i ran to the bathroom but only washed my lips in revolt and not face. Now again i went to class had one came to bathroom washed my lips .. went to class had one and again came to bath...
So i had all of them praying to god that hope he will need some notes again tomorrow........
P.S. - for those who are wondering i never got my 2 due pan pasand :(

I should say your memory is sharp, but i think such incidents you can not forget :). And how mean child you was;how can you expect 2 more chocolates after getting 8 ........ but i wanted to read more abt it :(
having known you for so long this post comes out to be 'no surprise' to me. but it definitely adds another story to my list to tell others and say 'see what a stupid friend i have' (no offence, really :) )
