Today is our story.

On the 10th of Jan, when we (pdz, her sis paus, vish and me) got together we found this real cool place to hang out at.. and we ve been pretty excited bout it since. And one day to be precise on the 13 of Jan, me and pdz had met there for actually nothing.. just met there.. and we got 3 10% discount coupons.

We got damn excited bout it. Discounts no matter how small are always a treat. We went total crazy and decided ta go there together to celebrate our b'days that were close. So we chose the 23rd of Jan, a weekend falling between our b'days. Sadly Vish was'nt available.. but we could'nt wait.. the coupons were valid only till the 31. Oh no..

So Pdz, Paus and me went ahead with the meeting plan. Talking about it everyday jumping with joy at the thought of cutting our expenses short.
The 23rd of Jan, Saturday came up bright and super.. We planned to meet up at my place in the afternoon. Looking good is always a requirement when we are celebrating right? We got our sleep right, the morning was spent shampooing, conditioning, drying, choosing clothes, cleaning nails and straightening all odds and ends. And the time flew by. Pdz and Paus got home by round 1 and we got into the getting out frenzy. Pdz and me even exchanged tops.. and got all ready. In a mixture of various shades of pink and peaches and in our coolest lookin most comfy pair of jeans and a full shrug, half shrug and no shrug arrangement, open hair all brushed out to give it the best swish possible and in the coolest sandals and shoes, we got out looking like chucked out in the middle of a ramp show. All for the chocolate excess we had our eyes on.

We got there, ordered all our stuff, a sandwich, hot chocolate, samosas, another areated drink and some chocolate delight kinda stuff... all with the discount in mind.. That over how could we forget the chocolate ecstasy..after all it was our b'days we were celebrating..
And there came our chocolate drool..
Yummy.......
Bill please.. and we find 3 more coupons enclosed.. we are over excited.. one more visit soon maybe.. and we take out our coupons... all in the lust of lowering our bill amount..
Oh, when do the new coupons expire??? It read-

Oh so we must come back soon.. and we joke about it..
Wait wait.. what did it say before expiry???

"Present this coupon to your waiter, before completing your order and receive 10% discount off your bill."

Ouch...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our dream bubbles burst.... And we werent able to go back before the 31 to claim any of the discount..
6 D% coupons going down the drain.. Bye Bye..

Thats a moral to all of you out there.. Read before you Greed.
