The Foodie Sasural Tales – III
…it was a set-up because Mamiji knew too well that I can not avoid EATING at the relatives’ place, whether or not I have had my LUNCH already!
And so, here I was – at Shukla uncle’s house – pleading with him in an attempt to skip EATING at his place. But how was that possible! After all, I was the ‘jamai’ of the house who has paid visit to his place for the first time! I had to have at least some SWEETS, if not the proper lunch.
And that ‘some sweets’ turned out to be a big plate full of KAJU BARFI and various other assorted sweets! Accompanying the plate was bowl full of VANILLA ICE CREAM!! No way – were the first words which came out of my mouth!!! And in spite of trying to understand my situation, they were not ready to bend their tradition – tradition of turning ‘jamai’ into a stuffed toy!
