Scene : Lunch at office canteen.
Participants : All my bhooke colleagues.
Subject : The red spinach curry that I had packed for lunch.
Victim : Your's truly.
Audience : You,my dear reader, who else?
Lines in italics are “I think”
Story:
Guy 1 : “You should have not fried the coconut... It would taste better”
Me : “Hmmm....” (Hello? This is the way my mom cooks ok?)
Guy 2 : “You eat so much of salt everyday?”
Me : “Err.. is that too much? I felt okay” (Oh,else you would have gulped down two more servings?)
Guy 2 : “Reduce salt intake,its not good for health”
Me : (Just a smile, but I am watching him digging a spoon full of pickle)
Guy 1 : “Next time you do as I said, add fresh coconut and use coconut oil”
Me : “Thanks, I will remember” (So much of gyan after finishing half of my box contents)
Guy 3 : “I didnt like this” (Huh? What? And that is why you left that in plate? Damn, could you not try a bit before pouring in?)
Guy 2 : “Eat fresh vegetables, better for you”
Me : “Thanks” (Why the hell am I still listening to them?? Get up and GO)
All the while I was gazing at my box depleting at high rate and all I got was to relish one last spoon of my spinach curry.. with so much of advise of course !!
