Chicken Noodle Soup

I generally make this soup on one of those damp rainy days and pour it my coffee mug and sip and slurp it standing in the balcony of our apartment. And unknowingly I am taken back to my MBA days in Bangalore, when my roomie and I used to sneak and prepare Maagi chicken noodle soup using our electric heater(which was supposedly banned in the hostel due to the bombastic bills) during one of those wintery nights and sip it from our mugs snuggling inside the blankets. We used to have those soups after our dinner just to keep us awake till 2 in night so that we could yap, gossip and bitch about the whole world laying asleep outside our room.
