For the last couple of months i have been suffering from a sore throat and to get relief from this ailment i went to a homeopathic doctor(i avoid allopathic drugs ) who gave me medicines for five days along with strict instructions that i was not to eat anything sour , oily and cold and this during Ramadan when such delectable delicacies are served with most of them sour if not oily, so you can understand my disappointment , nonetheless I tried to follow the good doctor’s advice for four days; I use to sit on the table at the time of iftar and would half heartedly pick up ,say, a lowly matar while others feasted on phulkis, pyaze kebabs allo tikki lemon juice fruit chat chaumien samosas burgers and what not. It was too much to bear because I just love eating ,so on the fifth day I decided not to pay heed to doctor’s instructions and instead listen to my heart which was asking me to enjoy the dishes I was depriving myself of . I listened to my heart and I am still paying the price but it’s ok. You may call me foolish or indisciplined but what to do I just can not keep myself away from tasty food for long even if it is harmful for my health.Although my throat is not well last night I had pyaze with a lavish smattering of tomato ketchup followed by a spoonful of cough syrup..
