Dreaming in Bangla, Matches in my food
I woke up this morning to realize that I was dreaming and thinking in Bengali (my second language). The realization was so weird for me. I couldn't believe it was happening. It's funny when you speak another language and you dream in your second language. I've been speaking lots of Bengali lately but I still have not managed my numbers. Due to my language problems. I became scared and thought that I should not forget my perfect English and went to watch some English movies. There are only 3 channels on cable that play english movies and I hit the jackpot with a movie with Christian Bale, cause he's a hottie. I watched Equilibrium, Gangs of New York and some parts of the Divine Ya ya sisterhood, which was very lame.
side note: There is an Indian version of the Godfather called The Sarkers....Yeah what does that tell you punk!!! Of all the Indian names to fear it's ours. Don't be mess with the family or I'll put a horse head in your bed.
After enjoying my lovely 6 hours of English language television and 2 somosas, I was ready to plan for dinner. I wanted to let my auntie rest so we all thought we should order food and get delivery. MISTAKE!
I am so glad that I became a vegetarian since my panner tika masala had a lit match stick in it. I'm glad I saw it before eating the thing. After calling the restaurant to re-deliver our meal, the manager sounded like these things happen all the time. So classic oii
I later felt extremely sick, and I think the reason is they probably use the same sauce the chicken, mutton and every other meat product that you can put in a tikka, and just plopped some panner in. Panneer is similar to tofu but tastes a crap load better, it's made of milk rather than soy milk, but the process the similar. Tofu lovers convert to panneer. So after the whole family felt sick and gross I decided I was never going to eat out again. Till tomorrow at least so I can get my dosa, egg rolls and samosas.
