When on a diet
TEMPTATION....I came across a terrible temptation today !
One of my students brought me a whole gigantic box of chocolates as a Diwali present. He left it right infront of me while I was at my study table in my writing hut......the joke is at that point of time, I was eating (swallowing in disgust) some chunks of cucumber (I am on a strict diet...& I am dying in bits because of it).
I tried not to
look at the box, I really tried.
I thought of all the Christian prayers I had learnt at school.
I remembered all the Christian saints, especially the ones who were cooked to death or starved to death.
But NOTHING was working. The temptation was eating me up......it was worse than a raging fire...........it was worse than the tension one feels during a cricket match between India & Pakistan...........it was worse than a snake crawling up ones spine.........it was worse than what a boy feels when he is with his best friend's girlfriend...............it was worse than the itch I get to do the 'Gangnam Style' while travelling on the road towards the bank..............................IT WAS A THRILLER !!!
But......I was strong.........I picked up the box, & fed all my cats !
They all ate with relish......except one (Michael Jackson) who overate some of the caramel bars & then started to make queer sounds which sounded like a mix of Justin Beiber & Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Younger Uncle won a prize today at the bank....he won a shawl (a pink one). He won it because he was the only bank officer who kept going to the office even on Sundays. He was so annoyed with the gift (he was expecting a month's holiday at Shimla) that he asked Lopez (the cat) whether she wanted it....apparently she refused......I guess even cats do not appreciate the bank's idea of gifting its 'serious' employees.
I am happy in a way, I am the proud great grandmother of three little female kittens (Lopez has delivered). The problem is, they are really FAT....mother wants to put them on a diet too.....those poor kittens.
