I just got reminded of this small incident in my life when i read the word Gujarat.I think it was in my 6th semester, totally famished that i was just waiting for my class to get over to run for lunch.Luckily,that day the hour before lunch was cancelled so it gave me a reason to go out and eat.All i wanted was a full meals in aryas cos i was very very hungry.All this i was thinking during the security class, and was telling divi about how hungry I was and she was in a sadder plight than me without a proper breakfast.So divi told that she knew a place that provides Gujarati meals and that she has not tried it before and was like why don't we go.Delighted and amused by the variety i would be getting for the same 40 bucks I got excited and I thought my stomach could wait an extra 20 mins.So we took a bus all the way to gangotree.Both of us were all smiles,orey happiness,no class,yummy food.That was a new restaurant in the area,we went in , didn't even look into the menu,saw G-MEALS 45 rupees, got very excited and ordered 2 meals.Very content that we occupied 2 seats and kept grinning.5 mins,10mins,15,20....40 minutes passed and still the food has not come.Divi was like "Probably there is a lot of variety and thats why it is taking a lot of time", my stomach grew angrier , so i thought i would order dokla, divi got irritated by it, "loose,you think gujarathi meals is complete without dokla,dont waste money".I was like "atleast let me order samosa".After nearly an hour one plate of meals came, the guy who served asked "amma,eppidi ungaluku indha meals pathi theriyum".Very proudly divi said "naan last week inga vandhaen uncle" .That guy very impressed by her sweetness,"innoru plate 2 minutes la varum".And then after all this conversation we look at the plate with eagerness , all that was there was "1 chappathi,2 spoons fried rice,1 small papad,1gulab jamun with 1 TSP jeera,curd rice,lemon pickle",both of us were taken aback,why does gujarati meal serve all this!!!Then slowly with our stomachs cursing us we ate that food thinking "idhuku aryas-la saptu irukalam",only when i finished it struck me that nowhere it has been mentioned Gujarati meals, it was only G-meals,which meant GANGOTREE MEALS u buddhu,which is a normal sappa regular meals.WE left back grinning out of anger cos of her stupidity.
Cos of all this sadness we bunked the afternoon session.
