I just learned that I love Paneer Patty more than a Chocolate Pastry
Delhi is the most special place I’ve ever lived. It is the city with a fast pace, always running, no one stops for anything no matter what. You cannot help but run, in order to say in the fit.
I, having lived in another city, Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, have forgotten the way Delhi works, It feels as if everyone has had a bottle of Red Bull before leaving their homes.
Today, I lived like I used to 5 years ago, meeting people for work at places far away from one another. I was wearing shoes for the longest duration in a long time, 10 hours or so. Tired, I find a place to sit down and charge my phone’s battery, because I am away from home for the longest duration in a long time.
I find a Cafe nearby and get into it. I love these Cafes, they have turned out to be super productive for me, I have written some of the best content in Cafes, sipping my favourite Mocha.
And that’s what I ordered, anything else you would like to order? Said the lady in the dress code of the franchise I was visiting. No is my usually reply, and it has worked most of the time. Then she says, if you order a Pastry it will become a combo order and your coffee will cost you Rs 69. The regular price is Rs 119, sounds like a good deal.
She made everything sound as if I am getting the party for almost Free. I agreed to it.
And that would be Rs 243, She said. And the worst thing, I do not like Pastry at all, and they made it even worse, a mountain of Dark Chocolate. I hate it, I am on Diet for God’s sake.
I don’t blame her completely, partially the fault is of my own brain. She said pastry, my mind made a picture of Paneer Patty. I know, WTF, I mean how can it be? Perhaps, I have a thing for such things when I feel a bit of hunger.
