F**K TALE

So Sunday was all dedicated to my boyfriend. Since I have been working all week, haven’t really got much quality time to spend with him. So I surprisingly woke up early (on a Sunday morning!! WHO DOES THAT!), drove down to his studio, watched TV, cooked lunch together, and other stuff! :/ We decided to then go for a movie. His recommendation: Ice age, Mine: Cocktail. Guess who was red-faced by the end???

                The movie begins with an old-fashioned petite Indian (lets call her Dumby), in search of her London-based husband (sic). Finds him! N gets betrayed (like we didn’t know). Then is the grand entry of a free-spirited jobless, characterless, drunkard woman (lets call her Grumpy), who parties and changes her boyfriends like I change my mind! They meet in a restroom and in a moment Grumpy decides to let Dumby stay with her. Why? Cos her parents provide her enough money to buy expensive clothes and shoes, to rent a duplex in London, to buy a Mini Cooper, to party like a maniac, and that expensive camera which she should have been using to get some money. But anyway, she’s a self claimed rich spoilt bitch. In a while, they become best friends. Why? Cos Dumby actually becomes a servant and Grumpy changes her entire look and makes her look hot! WOW! Then comes the entry of what I would call the biggest failure of Indian cinema and Royalty. Gautam (“Ghanta” here). Ghanta is on a constant look out for sex. Sex rules his life. There is nothing beyond sex. Anything that has boobs and a rack would do for him. A stranger on the airport, his strict Chinese boss, may be anything that walks. So Ghanta, Grumpy, and Dumby fast become best friends with obviously Ghanta and Grumpy sleeping around because of the above mentioned characters. Entry of a weird, typical Mother (absolutely unnecessary). All of them plan a holiday. Where? Cape Town. How? Grumpy has enough money like I said, Ghanta I guess was an engineer, and Dumby is a software engineer, who happens to get a job but we never really see her go for it. Anyway, besides the point. Dumby get high on one tequila shot in a crazy party. Her inner confidence spills out…..and there!!! Ghanta falls in love with Dumby! Awesome. How?? Don’t ask me, I don’t know. In one dance a characterless man falls in love with a dumb woman! As predicted, Grumpy acts smarts, saying its cool, then gets frustrated and jealous suddenly wanting to marry Ghanta, he is so crazily in love with Dumby, n Dumby is lost. I didn’t understand her expressions! She was supposed to be angry and selfish and probably in love. She looked like she’d forgotten her lines. What next. Grumpy meets with an accident. Ghanta he takes care of her. Dumby takes her I-think-husband, who is ready to help cos now she’s all hot, also wanting to be with her. Ohho! Finally, Dumby goes back to a village in New Delhi. Looking all hot, n the other two losers come back to get her. OMG! I wasted 146 minutes on this shit. No good story, no expressions, except by Grumpy (she was good). Ghanta is a total waste of a life.

All in all, my bond with my boyfriend has only gotten stronger cos we were in this together. So, something good. O yes, by the way, we watched The Dark Knight Rises last week! Period.

my new found love for pizza!

“I love my pizza so much, in fact, that I have come to believe in my delirium that my pizza might actually love me, in return. I am having a relationship with this pizza, almost an affair.”

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Now, cannot all you readers agree with this statement? I do, every bit of it. There was a time when I would detest the slightest idea of whittling down a slice of pizza. It made me nauseous. But then came teenage, living in a country that contradicted the smallest food value in mine. My country serves the best of herbs and spices. Russian food was B-L-A-N-D!!! And how.

I remember this chilly, Wednesday morning. I loathed waking up early, which is an every day feeling. After attending my class without good breakfast, I was starving by early noon. I happened to come across a small, dingy, dull-lit mini mall. I didn’t bother before ordering a pork pizza! Well, they served nothing else. It was a small, not-so-fresh, cheese and pork pizza.

I don’t know or rather refuse to believe that it was my hunger more than anything else that I relished every tiny piece of that food I ate. And ordered again. And again!!

The moment I laid my semi-frozen fingers on that piping hot, 4-sliced mini meal and carried it to my equally frozen, dry lips, the aroma of the wood-smoked, half melted, velvet-textured cheese stimulated the very last nerve ending of my nose.

The process of salivation began. Then and now.

The pizza base made out of sheer salted flour and water, layered with butter, melted in my heavily salivating mouth.

The pork, lightly soaked in basic herbs, probably basil and lemon grass, as I distinctly recall now, was superbly juicy and tender.

Now imagine the combination of these three basic ingredients turning out to be a dish that changed my perspective about pizzas, for good.

My journey of devouring this flavored bread began ever since.

The pizzas, they say, are a poor man’s food. It was not of the rich and famous to consume something so simple. Today, you will find a hundred varieties, various sauces, all kinds of meats, different veggie toppings, all the cheeses in the world, baked, roasted, and grilled. Sold in malls, prepared in open airs at water fronts or parks, companies providing quick services. Available at the touch of a screen. This is just an experience I have longed to share. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t done it verbally a million times to all my friends. I am sure there are a number of people across this world, who had such experiences with a simple, fast food called a pizza.

My expedition continues. It probably does not have an end.
