I was out on a routine morning round around Dwarir Road. Actually there was no bindings of to do kind of things - means - to buy veggies, fish, chicken, mutton or groceries sort of - we are always burdened with. So I was free to check the usual routine things for which my learned mind never had time in past. The stall which was closed yesterday evening is open. the young lady owner is busy in frying "kochuri" - a morning favorite snacks for many with potato curry. Asked her about the reason for closing the shop on previous evening when evenings are always witnessed brisk sales.
Her story was like that - an insect fell in her eye and she had to rush to a doctor. The doctor while trying to take the insect out, rubbed her eyes resulting profuse itching and discomfort. After that ordeal the doctor prescribed her some medicine to be applied in the affected eye and also advised her to stay away from oven heat and avoid cooking for few days. After a patient hearing I asked her the reason of her frying the "kochuri" and disobeying the learned doctor's advise - with a beautiful know all smile she showed me that she is actually extended the spoon handle by tying a stick to it's handle and frying with the same and thus adhering to the medics guideline as well as keeping her eager customers satisfied. But the crunch line which she cleverly hide was that she is actually running her business too while acting as an obedient patient.
I am profoundly amused, suppress the outburst of laughter with some effort and wish her quick recovery. Also asked about the evening opening schedule - she said that the shop will remain close for that evening as Kali Puja will be celebrated and also the doctors advice of avoiding cooking and staying near the oven thing. But she assures that the next evening the shop will be opened and she will definitely prepare all her superhit items including the famous Chicken Pattice for which I have to come to purchase as evening snacks.
Had it been the case of us, the city based civilized, enlightened class, 3/4 nights of rest, with Swiggy supplied foods, TV shows and mobile updates about the discomforts and helplessness state, changing status every 15/20 minutes and watching those who have not immediately replied or clicked "like"button on my stat- every time changed with new posts - almost an episode of mini-Mahabharat - but in here it is only the advise one is adhering with indigenous innovations - even may be with jugaad sort of actions to keep balance between harsh realities of life and entrepreneurship, they teach us to remain happy even when under discomfort.
Waiting for the evening to sets on and purchase hot Chicken Pattice for a sumptuous evening snacks.
