Part III

I woke up from my afternoon siesta just now, no I didnt sleep on a bed but a hard table on a equally hard book. I was just wondering the brain and the CPU are similar in many ways, both refuse to work when they get heated up! So I decided to take a short break from study and took a nap, somehow I have got this aversion towards reading for exams so I decided it's time for my next post. This one was long overdue, and its a sequel to 'My embarassing moments', here it goes.....
Last year I set one fine morning with my mother to do some small shopping (really small as it lasted only for 5 hours...I cant think what must have been the condition of Dad!!) We had booked a taxi, so after a small shopping spree we clambered back into the car. It was 3 in the afternoon and both of us were tired and hungry, so we asked the driver to stop on the way for lunch (I will call it trunch). After a while the driver anna stops in front of a decent looking hotel and informs us that he will wait for us as he had already had his lunch. Both of us were so hungry that we entered the first hotel we saw. We went straight to the wash basin, washed our hands, selected a table and sat at it. My mom then calls the cleaner and asks him to clean the already wiped table as she saw a speck of dried sambar or whatever on it. Then she asks the waiter to bring water, when two glasses are kept in front of us she says with impatience I asked for cold water this is not cold! The irritated waiter changes our glasses of normal water for fresh cold ones. Both of us noissily drown the soothing cold water down our parched throats. Meanwhile the waiter is patiently standing by us awaiting our order.
We then say Ok! bring us 2 plate masal dosas....
He says Sorry mam! no tiffin!
We say Ok! then bring 2 meals.
He asks chicken or mutton?
We say only veg..
He says Sorry mam this is only non veg hotel
Stupified!!! then slowly we get up from the table, say ok and leave the hotel
Some distance ahead we see another hotel and this time we stood out and saw the board hung at the entrance checked twice to ensure it was no strictly non veg hotel and then made an entry..
Imagine making them all work for us and then leave the place without having anything except two glasses of cold water that too after making a fuss. Well it was partly embarassing and partly elevating, actually I felt like a queen washing hands in one hotel and dining in another ! :)
