Utterly butterly

21Jan09

I had a gtalk status message that declared, I’m fat and which led an indignant Sangeeta to declare in capital letters, ‘You are not fat.’
But if I stay here too long and continue gorging on my wonderful mother’s sumptuous cooking, that is exactly what I’ll end up being.
What I’ve been eating so far:
(You have to be Bong or know about Bong food to appreciate this list fully.)
Biriyani, chilli fish, fried rice, pualo, phuchka, mishti of bewildering variety – sandesh, shor bhaja, rosogolla, rajbhog, dorbesh, mishti doi, payesh, patishapta, mochar ghonto, kheer, pithey puli, chingri macher malai curry (prawns cooked in the yummiest way possible), tangra mach, chicken a la kiev, momos, chicken rolls, pabda mach, topshe mach, mutton cooked in a dozen ways, cake from Flury’s, pastries from Kookie Jar, vegetables cooked in all those incredible ways that only Ma knows how and which I can never replicate in a thousand years, chocolates from Hawai, Lindt chocolates, and i know not what else.
I’m a pig. When everything’s made to wither away into dust, remember this,all that matters is the chocolate.
I wrote this when I was tipsy, naturally it sounds strange.
