A Good Lunch

Ok ... Let me make u guys feel a little bad !!! Let us taste some Indian food

Today I went out with my colleagues for lunch ... By far, it was the most calorie rich diet that I had in a long long time ...

1. Crispy Nachos dipped in creamy cheese for starters

2. Hot and Crispy Onion rings for appetizers (err ... )

3. Nice - hot - Channa Batura with Mirchi ...

4. Icecream browney sizzlers ... Imagine this ... Very hot plate ... On which there is a .5 inch browney ... Upon which is resting a ball of icecream ... It looks plain and calm for all practical purposes ... After keeping it on the table, the chef pours a small cup of chocolate syrup on the icecream ... The syrup starts boiling on the steaming hot plate ... Steam rises from the plate and I am half afraid that the chocolate vapour is going to settle on my shirt ...

And then I dig the spoon into the concoction ... starting from the top ... Skim it top to bottom and the spoon now contains a mixture of chocolate syrup, Ice Cream, Brownies steaming hot ... I blow gently on my spoon just in case that the brownie is too hot ... What an irony - Am blowing on a spoon which is half filled with cold ice cream !

Pop it in ... Close my eyes .... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... I Lost all sense of place and time for a moment ... Till the potion slided down the oesophagus ...

Kya baath hai !!!

Place: NewYorker in Nariman Point.

PS: 15 minutes later ... I felt as if a cigarette was stubbed against my shirt pocket ... Ugghh ... Checked it out ... Oh ... It was not a cigarette ... It was the bill which had burnt a hole in my pocket ... 300 gets debited from my Cash A/C ... Goodwill gets credited correspondingly ... Amortization period : 18 hours.
