Corporate life is bad for your digestion
10:39 Am IST its still raining cats and dogs in Mumbai where my corp. HQ is located. So naturally all the happy people there are spending some quality time with their families. Alas we here in Chennai, Who aren’t blessed with such a lovely deluge are destined to spend our days redefining the term "JOBLESS". Solitaire, spider solitaire and free cell have consumed my attention, over the past 2 days. Now after a continuous losing streak since morning I’m left with no other Choice but to abandon my pursuits and retrospect, hence this blog.Things did come to a head yesterday when I took a German out for dinner to an Italian restaurant hosted by a Nepali, served by an Punjabi and that had food prepared by a Chinese (though I have a sneaking suspicion he was Thai). To make things worse the dumb place turned out to be vegetarian. So there I had to sit and pick my way through most of the veggie section of their pantry I made a hasty bid to escape when this dork invited me to his hotel to taste the best dessert he had eaten so with a wide grin on my face I tagged along and waited in the patio. He was some time before he returned and placed a huge bowl of fruit with crisp frozen veggies topped in chocolate sauce!!! That was a sight that would make a brave man quiver in fear, let me say I was no different, especially after what I had gone through (or if you prefer eaten through).Needless to say my fine friends I’m now an affirmed Veggie hater after last nights affront to my digestive system I’m reeling from the shock, but plz don’t worry I’m well on my way to recovery under the care of that gift to the gastronomic juices my mom…. Hmmm
Lunch time now g2g to this new Chinese joint across the road …
