Gyration...

Its amazing how life has a laugh at you in the best of moments... sometimes it happens tht things/people whom you hated in past come back to you.. and infact now there is no time for hatred and the fact is tht thing/person who has come back to you has made you happy! :-)

One of the critical things about living a bachelor's life, away from home, is that you need to have a lot of discipline... no one's gonna come and wake you up, no one's gonna wash your clothes, no one's gonna pamper with good food and that no one would really care if you are hungry or not ... in short - 'You are all by ur own self' ... Me, Rajan, Rakesh, Aditya and Saurabh are goin thru one of these disciplinary crisis out here in Abu Dhabi ... all of a sudden our cook has disappeared and finding food has been a pain offlate .. no no ... i dont mean you dont have restr's in Abu Dhabi, it means we have not left an undiscovered restr. in Abu Dhabi (atleast I am not much at difficulty bcuz i m a harcore non-vegetarian now) ... and hence food that we have been eating is repititive in nature ....

Now this repititiveness reminds me of something....about 4-5 years back when I was at home, enjoying life with my family, I used to bug my mom for making repititive things in lunch and dinner everyday and wud also come up wid innovative dishes for my mom to cook which would somtimes take hours...at that point in time I was one guy who used to believe that if i have money with me in near future i would go to all different hotels and never eat at home ... Know something; God listened to me ... here i am wid all the money in the world with all restr in Abu Dhabi and look I am already bored of eating outside .. :-) (this thing is very similar to that old story of a king who wants everything that he touches to be gold) ... now i think why did I wish for it in the first place ....

Another thing is that I was a very demanding foodie, I used to eat certain things and do away with others..I have had several fights wid my mom over food or certain vegetables which were made at home ... I always hated these 4 things (only gujju readers wud understand) .. 'Turia', 'Dudhi', 'Karela' and 'Mathia' ... and today afternoon when i went for lunch .. the gujju restrn here had 3 of the 4 things in vegetables....tht instantly reminded me of my mom ...ha ha .. the fights i use to have wid her when she used to make these at home ... i believe this thing happened puporsely to me today ... its like sm1 telling me ... Hey U Mr. Ardous... eat this or be hungry ! .. Yes it came back to me ... today I cudnt fight nebody... rather than being angry, I had a smile on my face ... rather than yelling at my mum ... I decided to call her then n there to sayi am sorry for the past ... and next time when I m home she can make nething n I wont complain...

Life is certainly a gyrating tale, I am a changed guy, I dont like restr nemore and wht more ..i am eating my most disliked food ever .... :-)


P.S: Any Abu Dhabi readers?! - please let us know if there's a cook willing to make food for us 5 !!
