Foodie that I am or really not?

3 04 2008

Didn’t realize that until onefineday when Mr. AD accused me of being one ….and I argued that I am not….now I think in retrospect, he realized and pointed out something I hadn’t realized in such a longtime …I mean those who know me well its something that doesn’t really show on me …but u can make out that I am one ..all you need is close observation….and quite a few people have testified for …and it is high time I get convinced that I am ….what I am ….a slow eater? Foodie?…or what?….is it for the love of food or …is it that eating food consumes a lot of precious time and that it is difficult to force it down the throat … 

This is what the most memorable interpretations read like :- 

Vivek’s lines- “If your husband asks you -who are u fantasizing about?” – ur answer would be ….. “hmnnnnnn….Biryani”…lol 

 Varuns suggestion- “Prachi if u must shift industries and you think ur caught in the wrong job ….u should join a five star hotel ….long spreads of food everyday …Ahhhhh…what life” 

Renuka- “prachi u live only for food and so do I ….. I  cant enjoy lunch with anyone as much as I do with u……”Renu I really love you…u understand me and the food [Pizza hut and Mac softserve]. 

Kunal- well I guess he was a lil too kicked about his impending marriage and reading a lot on about urrrhenm….or perhaps just a big attempt to decode the enigmatic race- ‘Women’ before the inevitable suicide ….so he had read somewhere… “Women who eat slowly are likely to enjoy sex more than those who just gobble down there food ”— so he was observing every girl eating lunch and how  [Urvi –you should know that]…thats what he thought and thought n thought …dunt know if he found the answer finally? Needless to say, its good enuf  reason to keep his inquisitive mind busy… 

Nalini- we share the same interests and our moto is – “Khoob khaoo…khoob kam karo” 

Dilip- the canteen guy- loved me ….afterall I helped him find his lost popularity and business….at 5pm everyday ..ppl would be avoiding him …to strictly follow their diets ….but I on the other hand would wait for him endlessly …and all this only for the love of food …..he knew that …and when others would watch me eating …all inspired greedy souls ..would be on a hunt for Dilip…hehhe even before he realized that….  Man I feel so guilty ;) The girls hated me {coz I am sooso thin}….not my fault but I am just genetically thin …but gals …u’ll be more than happy to know …..the other day I bumped into a palm reader and guess what he told me ….i am going to put on a lot of weight ….atleast now you can be happy J 

So the point I am trying to drive is being a slow eater and being a foodie are two different things…but people confuse the two and the way they interpret and link analogies to it is …ahh!! impossible… 

My Aicar friends [anu,bharo,sandy,gaurav,pd,sunny,kama]are witness to the fact that in the Hostel canteen I would be the 1st one to start and the last one to finish….people would take several helpings and I would still be nibbling on  the remains of the 1st helping in my plate …well not that the food deserved much romancing …but I had to force it down my throat …and that’s how it really was people …

Abhijit I still remember the egg Fried rice you would make. 

But the fact is,I can’t really eat alone.

The food tastes a lot better….when you have it with friends around and ofcourse along with a jibber-jabber about any and everything under the sun.

But being alone doesn’t mean i am depriving myself of all the good food in the world ……Ahh!!! I desperately need to get myself some cold coffee…TADA!!
