let me tell u my story !!! buckle up..screen shutters open..and ........ladies and gentleman welcome to the screening of ................................................................
Saturday morning..7.30 Am > really early in the morning, but H wakes up to go to haary potter movie with his friends. little does he realise he going to be witnessing a live show soon.
8.30 -12.00 > Steps out of the theatre a relieved man. He is tired of the endless incantations and continuos bashing from kids who thought their arm was a wand and waved it everywhere , most of which landed on H. H gets suspecious abt the fellow who talked abt probability of a hit and miss a few days ago.
12.15> H comes home to find the house empty. finds a note from his mom saying that she has gone to visit some cuzins and will come back in the evening .
4> after more than an hour in net H gets slisha hungry. after using almost all of his will power to resist the temptation of ordering a pizza , H on an impulse decides to make poories. "deadly choice" . H decides to suprise ppl by making side dish with panner. ( H still regrets the impulse .. esp teh decision to make poories !!! )
note: before going further one must know that H has cooked before and has been on a cooking spree of late to the dismay of the ppl who sample. yes yes yes and its true, that he had gone strength to strength from making a dosa that just evaporated before he cud weld it into shape to making a dosa that resembled charcoal since he pressed it too hard and finally to a dosa thats maybe called a dosa but has an australian shape instead of a circular one. So basicaly speaking H had got the HANG of the kitchen and was mocking all guys who sounded as if cooking is the most difficult task in the world. H thought they were just putting scene and doing it to plz ppl ;).
4.15> H is on his way to self revelation . The thambalams and flats are out and are on the stove. problems start.
H now stares at the set of oil cans available . H dont know what oil to use. Even if H knew what oil, H didnt know how to differentiate.
4.20> The tambalam is getting hot and acrid smells start. H decided to give a F abt the oil and pours something after a careful inky pinky ponky , my hands all oily selection routine.
4.22> H now realises hes not done the basic stuff to put in the oil. He Shuts down the oil system and opens the pillsbury wheat . H realises he has forgot how to do it. H being arrongant decides on a combination himself and stops when the mixture rougly looked the same texture as it was when H did the same with mom supervising.
4.25> H heats the stove and after a few mins throws in the almost circular base into the oil. H waits..and waits for a poorie to happen...well it doesnt. H carefull picks it out of the frying pan and throws it out.
4.30> H now tries a new combination. more water he says grining to himself. Then as H puts the stuff into the oil , all hell breaks lose. Some particles travelling at near light speeds exit the oil frying pan as if they have been fired from it. since H is in the proximity he is subjected to max damage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: but H still believes everything wud have been orderly if H on the fight to control the spitting of frying pan mistaking poured water into the pan thinking it was oil. After a few mins of literall Firefight, H triumphs in stopping the thing at teh end . But this incident devastates his ego and the free will to enter kitchen to cook food.
H also belives it was bcos of the sudden loud playing of manmatha rasa song in the neighbourd that led his poor soul to forget that he had water in the jug not oil.
5:10> H dials pizza hut and busies himself with oil burns for the 30 mins it takes for food to arrive.
so u see ramji, i was doing ok in supervision. It was just a stupid impulse,poor selection and bad luck that got me out of action for a few days. but am back in buisness now. dude have tried out making fried stuff. its easy and yummy too. I made vadas yesterday and trust me its EASYYY.
