i have lot of serious allegations against the organizer of this event.. here goes:
he walked so fast (so that actually translates into “ran”)- from one end of a typical old delhi lane (which is verry congested and hustling and bustling with so much activity, its mind-boggling enough!)
why he ran? initially i thought that was his usual pace- my slow buddhi realized later he wanted to fill up (as much as possible .. and then some more!!) his own (as well his non-veggie team’s) stomach with all the jeev-jantus (except thankfully, humans!) available there at that time.
so, the crux of the matter is that i also had to “run” with these fellows who all of them had tall legs.

huh…so thats one.

he conveniently gave some nice hot fresh samosas and kachoris a miss, right in the start of the “run” of the trip.
surely, he thought no one wud notice!! well, i had to .. given such dearth of stuff for me..

i could have forgiven all of this, if they had at least not taken a second round of those kebabs at moinuddin’s!.. i mean, 2nd ROUND! .. how i wished moinuddin wud tell them enough (street food) is enough and so they wudnt get no more of his sumptous looking stuff!.. alas, that was not to be…

so..they gorged on … and on… and on.. and then some more!

sigh! i had to compensate by using my mouth for talking instead of eating!.. its my secret desire (!!) now: i hope i spoke enough on that day, to irritate all of them! :D
