A Bhel of two cities
It was a very beautiful day… I can still smell the old paint on the train, and the feeling of being suffocated because of the extremely fat and rude woman sitting next to me, I can still hear people talking at the top of their voices … As I was saying, It was a beautiful day and me and didi were on the train to Ahmedabad from Surat.
Now, there is one thing that you need to know about me.. I am a foodie and I have sudden cravings for food items at totally odd situations..
When I was travelling to surat, I had this amaaazzing and extremely tasty “Bhel” !
And since then I couldn’t wait to get on the train back to Ahmedabad to eat “bhel”..
Everything was set..I sat on the train, waiting to get my hands on the yummy , crispy and mouth watering bhel.I knew, it wouldn’t be a problem as during the 5 hour journey atleast 10 bhel walas generally show up…
Suddenly, I saw a man carrying a basket on his head..
YEsss!!! Hes here .. I thought..
“bac phree, bolo, minral waater, bolo, bac phree boloooo”
Damn! It wasn’t Bhel..
After some time , I saw another basket man..
But,
It was “phrooti aaya phrooti, limca bolo fanta bolo, pepsi bolo”
NOOOOOOO….
Okay I had to wait…. I waited and I waited..
And there was no bhel wala in sight.. I was really irritated now.. I needed some junk food and I needed it NOW..!!
And then there was, the “cutlet wala” .. I had 2 cutlets.. Haash! My stomach was full and I was happy..
After 2 mins,
“bhel bolo bhel aaya, bheeelll”
didi asked me If I wanted any.. I simply replied “ nah dat’s okay..no mood for bhel now “
didi: “are you sure??”
me: “duh-uhh..!!! I just had 2 cutlets!”
The rude woman bought one packet..
The bhelwala went away..
And after 10 mins,
OHH no!!! It was here again..!! Bhelll …. I need bhell right now… YUmmm!! Can’t look at the woman eat it.. NOoo!!!
Didi: don’t worry. There will be more vendors soon..
And then I waited , I waited I waited…
Okay.. I thought I should forget about it and divert my mind to something else..and just when I thought I had forgotten about Bhel, I got a msg from “buyshares” which said “Buy BHEL for blah blah blah”..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bhelll Bhelll bhell…
Suddenly I heard a basket man say “Bheeel”.
And I wassss soooooooo happy..!! He was walking very very fast,.. I ran behind him..
I ran through two compartments..
Finalllyyy!! I thought.
“BHAIYYAAA”..!. ek Plate Bhel” I shouted, still panting.
and he said:
“madam bhel nahi bread hai”.........
aavjo!

Am I crazy..?
okay lets face it my life is boring and I am very lazy..
Anyway lately I have noticed so much going on in Ahmedabad..
so heres the story-
It was a lovely evening.. I decided to go for a walk with my neighbour cum friend himansha.. After a small walk around our area, we decided to have some panipuri.. After relishing the pani puri we decided to have a pani ka pouch( hehe)..
as soon as we finished I was looking for a dustbin and -it was nowhere to be seen..As I sighed and kept the plastic pouch in my pocket, my friend on the other hand started walking towards a pile of pouches lying there.. I was so happy that being with me she had understood the importance of a clean and green city..
As I raised my hand to pat myself on the back,
"PLOP"..
she threw it on the pile of pouches ...
grrrrr....
"himansha why did you throw it there..? you are making the city dirty you know" I fired..
" haan haan mother India.. ab chup reh.. vahan aur logon ne bhi to litter kiya hai.ek aur pouch se kya hoga?"
"someone else will think the same and before you know it , this place will be a huge pile of water pouches.. do you know plastic is so harmful to the environment.. agar hum ahmedabad ko clean nahi rakhenge to kon rakhega?" i snapped..
" yaar..paka mat" she said while messaging a friend..
This is the exact reason my readers that our city is so polluted today..
Someone throws something on the road, another person does the same and this goes on and on and on..
but the muncipality is equally wrong.. I say there should be atleast 1 dustbin in every 200 mts..
my dear readers, Since we follow trends so much why not start a new one where we always throw litter in a dustbin..? Its a very small thing and if everyone does it Im sure the world will be a better place to live in..
can't we do this much for our mother earth who has fed us and always taken care of us..?
when people around me do such things I feel really upset..
Is there something wrong with me or is the world really so selfish..?
I leave you with a touching song from micheal jackson called heal the world..
Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying, If You Care EnoughFor The Living
Make A Better PlaceFor You And For Me
