The Day I Created Water

Well, i am a great fan of camels. the utility of a hump along with a long neck cannot be expressed in words. you can peek over toilet stands to see what someone is doing. you can the watch the girls who lives upstairs with just a twist of our neck, and a lot more. but the thing that fascinates me the most is the hump. the main function being to store water. come on, who wants to carry a water bottle everywhere, when you can just have a hump installed on your back and get rid of the excess baggage. unfortunately god works in mysterious ways and so does the post office. they have never ever send my mails to god, i can assure you that. otherwise he would have replied.
as we do not have humps, we are in a constant need of water provided that u have frequent outputs. and when you are with me there is always a fight over water. me and my rommie are water people. our body consists of 70 percent water. so to no ones surprise our water tank was cleared up in a couple of days after its arrival. this has been a frequent occurring where we finish a weeks supply of water in a couple of days, and then try to find the alternative source of energy. it ranges from free cold drinks to unannounced guest visits to our friends and relatives. but this week was the different, this week we decided to put our engineering minds to use and try to survive the week without any external influences. we we tied our shoes, packed our bags, filled our wallets and went out on the streets to buy everything necessary, but not the water.
day 1 was as normal as it could be. we managed to bend around the swift punches life threw at us and finished half of the weeks allocated water. day2 was even better, we went for a bit of social service. we went on to a nice restaurant and left the waiter a huge tip. our contribution to the society. when we reached home we had did the regular.finally, we were out of water. but this time was different. we were ready. we had done our math. what we didn't account for was for some unexpected thirsty guests to visit us. they did what we used to do. go to anyone house talk to them and cutoff their supplies. damn then, all ur supplies of extra fluids, food, and watermelons got depleted in serving the guests. i think they were gods messengers, who had come to test us. its a common engineering theorem. "when you are prepared for the worst, there is someway someone makes it even worse". this god god had put us to test. but we are engineers, we cant be defeated.
day 3. no water, no fluids and technically no cooked food. we sat to our work and decided to skip breakfast and directly concentrate on the essentials for the lunch. we cooked noodles without water. don't ask me how we did it. its a secret recipe. it tasted just as tasty. we then got ready for dinner, which was a dozen of lays and wipped cream and a lot of television. trust me, the television fills your stomach more than the food. 
day 4 was the day when the disaster struck. we were out of everything. even the money. the calender was messing with us, so was the bill man. he cut off our electricity, for no particular reason.
stranded in the cold corners of our rooms, in a haunted place which we cold our home, we were hungry , cold, we were angry. they say "neccesity is the mother of invention and the father of tension". we live in the era of smart phone and idiot people, so when the smart phone dies the idiot people feel strandled, alone, depressed and suicidal. we felt the same, but we hung on.
the next day was the living example of hell. nut as the day progressed our minds started kicking in and we started to work on the problems. 1st was that there was no electricity. putting our mastermind skills to work, we hatched a plan. a plan dripping with evil potential, giving a jokerish grin we went to find the source of light, a flashlight. with the flash light in hand, now now had the power of sight. and we cautiously proceeded to the basement of the building. we had the 3d structural analysis of the building in mind, and we located the co-ordinates of the electricity meter box. our plan was to channel the flow of electricity from our rude neighbors wire to our wire and to direct the meter reading into the community meter. so the society pays for our living. our way of taking back what we had given to the society. MM to base camp, the training is complete.
the next step was to get an oven heating. but for that we needed an over, which we didn't have. so we just  wound up some coils in a cylindrical metal sheet and made about 6 to 7 of them, then we took up some dough and added the harsh tap water to it. now we connected the cylindrical metal loops on the dough and connected them to the electric unit. this helped us in heating up the dough and making it crusty and hard. the dough plate had become hot enough for us to advance to the next part of the plan. MM to base camp, camp 1 reached.
now comes the tricky part. we sneaked into the neighbors house disabling their alarm system and tip towed to their kitchen. it was an 007 mission, we had to be very secretiveness. we spied on the neighbors and silently opened their fridge to extract something of great importance. ICE, fresh cold and lots of ice.
we took the ice back to our home, to the electrically heated furnace and put the ice on it. MM to base camp, we see the summit.
as the ice started to melt, we were getting the thing of desire, we were getting WATERRRRR. we had done it, we created water.
and we survived the week........
