The second degree family's heard of the blog and is threatening to let the world at large know of it's existence and worse - of it's contents. Now the world learning of quietlyamused is a good thing, even though I don't have adsense, but if a part of the world is extensions of the second degree family and it comes back to the first degree then hell could break loose. Now if this sounds like an Ektaaaaa Kaaaapoooor, it is so no surprises there. So we need to find a way to stop the kid from babbling. Bribery is the only thing left. We shall see.
So the Provider had to go out for dinner the other day so I was left eating instant noodles or some such. He returned the next day and recounted the events and this was how it all went. He was invited to a Muslim house and he claims the most prominent feature in that house is an impressive, well-stocked bar. If there's an overall transgression quotient that needs to be calculated for this incident, it just climbed a notch. So after drinks and small eats dinner was served which was prawn curry and beef biryani. Which the man ate like there's no tomorrow (TQ climbs again). Since the story of my love for most things non vegetarian has spread reasonably far and wide, the host was kind enough to pack me a large serving or two of the biryani and some eggplant (it's sophistry to say things like eggplant and aubergine but at least they don't induce as much nausea as 'brinjal' does) and raitha. Half of this was consumed with great relish the following day since biryani always tastes better then (The TQ monitor usually goes kaput when applied to me). The other half our loving father took for lunch. With huge chunks of meat, etc.
The plan is simple when I die and reach the fork in the road where sinners are sorted out I'm going to smile and blame it all on upbringing.
Like one day, at the risk of severe repercussions, I pointed out to the mater and the pater that if the traits of any person depends on genetics and upbringing (what the neo Freudians like to call nature and nurture) I've absolutely no hope.
And I've been accused of being sexist.
Wtf?
