We were at the restaurant to have the first meal of the day.
I don’t remember a single day back home, when I missed a meal of the day, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or even evening tea.
And here we were, grooving ourselves into the metro culture, skipping breakfast and lunch on a holiday to have a posh dinner.
“Mamma…I want pizza”
“No da…there is no pizza in this hotel, we will have something else..”
The little boy was getting restless at the next table.
“No mamma..I want only pizzaa…”
“Ask this waiter also, there is no pizzaa…”
The waiter smiled and replied…
“Pizzaa only in pizza hut…we will give you something which tastes exactly the same….that is called cheese naan”
“Yes da…we will have cheese naan”
“but mummy, pizzaaa…?”
“This taste exactly like pizzaa da….we will have cheese naan”
That’s when my phone rang. Call from home.
“Yes mummy, I had breakfast and lunch. And now, we are having dinner outside.”
What a world is this! Where everyone lied to their loved ones!
The little boy was still waiting for this cheese naan when we left the restaurant.
I hope he approves that cheese naan do resemble pizza in taste.
