Chillies!!!

I'm a very forgetful person, sometimes I myself am perplexed on what exact purpose did I embark a journey. So I return from where I started and try to remember, at times the laziness takes over so much that I abandon the thought of remembering altogether. On a day like this I returned very hungry from my class. Being an English February it was as usual quite cold and dark. Forced by the voices in my stomach I coaxed myself to cook something. "What now! again, aaagh!!! I really hate this, hmm.. this chilli looks good." These were the moments before the great havoc. So I heated some oil in a "kadhai" and dropped 2 of the dry red chillies I was mentioning earlier. At that very instance my phone rang and as habit I had left it in my room. "Oh! then I better go and get it".

After about half an hour I could hear people running and coughing badly outside my room, even people on the other side of the kitchen were coughing, "Interesting!what happened all of a sudden, an air of virus swept through the place, very weird indeed". Busy in my thought I didn't realise that it was not a viral air that swept through the corridors but infact the smoke of the burnt black chillies that used to be red, still happily crackling in the oil, on the stove that I had left open. "Oh! shit". By the time I came out there was nobody in sight, maybe they had left. I discarded the chillies and heaved a sigh of relief, what luck my flatmates (soft spoken, always smiling Chinese) would have surely kicked me out this time. It was the third time I had burnt food, luckily even the fire alarm didn't go off, "great!". Already my love for chillies have freaked poor Joy out, intermingled with the wild whistles that my cooker at times gave scared the chicken's out of Doris. So I speculated that it would be better for my health to sidle out from the scene of crime and not to be seen around the weapon in question. So what I was telling you about that I was hungry, see I again forgot, thats the issue, I even forget that I am hungry in the first place. So by the time I remembered I got myself some takeout from the burger van parked near the hall gate.
