Life is a sexually transmitted disease - Anonymous

Today I saw a couple walking into this crowded, decent looking but costlier than its worth restaurant. They had ordered for some Roti+Sabji Dish. God knows why there are idiots in this world and most of them end up in bangalore restaurants. For the first time in my life I saw the dish being served along with a 'SPOON' and 'FORK'. Yes you read that right. But that was not all. This lady, pretty good-looking with you-look-once-i-put-up-my-price eyes and her companion (Could be her husband), prepared themselves for the attack. The guy took the fork and the spoon and started to kill the roti (and to an extent my apetite). He within a second understood the purposelessness of these metal contraption for this particular adventure and decided to use the most proven and reliable form of bridging the mouth and plate gap-Hands. The lady on the other hand for some unknown reason (or it could be that I was eyeing her and she was aware of that) wouldn't do without them. She picked them like a character who plays the lead actress in a B-grade Shakespeare play (yeah the ones who'll raise their eyebrows and cover their cheeks for every shit that's shown to them) and clutched (yeah, not held, CLUTCHED) the fork and Spoon with both her hands. If you have the habit of watching cartoons in TV (meaning apart from your work life), you would have seen old spectacled grannys sitting on a rocking chair and sewing away something to glory (Generally a woolen something). Do you remember? They'd have needles in both hands and they'll first pierce one needle and pull it while they do some rolling with the other. Ok you're telling me that they're animated? So was this. She did exactly the same thing. Instead of pulling the needle up, she pulled it shoved the piece of roti into her mouth. MMM...I liked those last two words.
