If to compliment is divine,
to crib is human! And crib, we can! Or is it only we, Indians who
do it? The other day, I happened to share my dinner with a very
pretty Swedish lady (I really love talking about her!:P) and she said,
all they ate back home was potatoes and meat!! Only boiled potatoes
and meat?? Terrible, I say.
In fact, so many of our
dinner conversations seems to start and end with cribbing. But that apart, there
are so many kinds of people when it comes to food. The first breed, is of the Shashanka ilk! He believes that canteen food is evil,pure evil. Tell
me, have you ever seen him eating in the canteen for 3 consecutive
days? Pretty sure,you can't. Thats a different story that he can be officially credited for creating the “White Revolution” in our college. I genuinely think he has a credit account with Cafe Corner where he seems to
reside when in the hostel!
The second is the asshole
type! They really dont have an opinion of their own. When they sit
with a dal eating fellow, they will outrage against the poor quality
of dal without eating it ofcourse and rave about how dal is prepared
in their village. Yeah, village! Oh,
I forgot, there is a certain variant of this population for whom the
views are shaped so that they mirror that of their favourite gals!
Well, anyway, once an asshole, always one.
Then
there is the so called “rational” fellow. In chaste English, he
begins, “Dude, why do you think we need 2 sabjis!I mean why can't
we just have one sabji and get fruits or so. You see it's more
healthier.”. Please, don't ask me where he ate yesterday evening. Of
course, am going to tell you. Hogs at Subway and talks about health
in the canteen. Ok, now I need some protection since this guy stays only a couple of doors away.Anyways, boss you should have gone to the food
committee meetings, no?:P
The fifth type! Their views have are private only to
their friends. Occasionally, they might like what others post on FB. But
their mouths open only to eat and not to talk! Yet, they always want
Vamsi to take on others. And papa, Vamsi. Anybody uses an app to find
out who is his enemy and his name pops out first.
And
the last is probably, the worst. It's me. He knows no taste, no
likes. All he needs is curd. And since, I have no regrets with the
current food, I can continue to afford writing!
