The Mondy Party

I came across some really good posts by Sidin on his blog. To be very honest, reminds me of my sales stints and my writing in Ongole, and i might just post that too and you can make your own comparisons..

anyway the link is here http://sidin.blogspot.com/2006/03/gasket-and-hole-in-ground-part-2.html

Some of it was really funny. I particularly like the start

• Aurangabad, incidentally, is known as “The Optic Fiber Capital of India”. However when we asked one of the locals why it was so i.e. “Aurangabad ko ‘The Optic Fiber Capital of India’ kyon bolti hain?” he told us, in a somewhat complicated marathi accent, that the omelette walah did not come till 6 am. We nodded and left.

The dietary habits of the region are well articulated by this passage

• Apparently the staple diet of the locals in central Maharashtra is alu bondas and various bhajiyas. And they serve this from dawn to dusk. Now I do not mean to not appreciate this diet, I am sure there are traditional reasons why this diet is preferred, but to the outsider it was a little hard to digest. Every stopover we were served nothing but tea and deep fried vegetables. It was so bad we could have easily played that schooltime game with the locals:
  What’s for breakfast?
  Bonda Bhajiya
  Whats for lunch?
  Bonda Bhajiya
  Whats for dinner?
  Bonda Bhajiya
  What is your name?
  Bonda Bhajiya
  Ha! Got you!

I won't go overboard, just click on the link and read it.
