My City and Its Cuisine.......

There are somethings that money cant buy. I know that this is not a very good line to start with, but there are many right things in the world which may not sound good. Master card people could have never thought that the idea which was put into words by them was the feeling of millions of souls especially people in my country and city to be precise, and especially for me, to be more precise, I have been on the face of earth over 26 years now and 25 of them can be considered in to my elements. I forced all my will to think the other way round and rightly have been thinking for so many of little fragments of calendar, but in these 25 revolutions which mother earth made around the Helios, I had developed a very strong feeling about my city of residence. They are bright as well as pale in a few aspects.

For instance, would u ever see a brigade of 20 something guys with all branded attire (Mont Blanc and likewise) entering into a highly atrocious looking place which can be taken for a restaurant only by an overly optimistic fellow. But, yes it happens here in the Ex- Capital of The Central Provinces the queen ruled once. But, the astonishment is yet to be over. If one expects these 20 something guys to leave the place as early as they enter there as entering there was just a Faux Paus then ur thinking this way is the one. Yes, they come out of it almost an hour after their entry and the look at their faces is what Sharif and Zardari must had after Mush declared to step down. To further to your fantasy in an upward direction, these guys now discuss among themselves the savor which they feasted over a few moments back and make the first thing on their list to visit there once more before they return to their city of employment which sadly is not the one which has just now witnessed the whole phenomenon described. So, they plan the same and head for the most sought (or preferred, to be precise) Pan Shop where they have been visiting from time immortal. They will go there and there only even if it happens to be in the remotest end of the city from where they are right now. And after having this grub, they will spend an hour or so praising the city for being blessed with such joints and places to cherish on. They will again repeat the process on the day they have planned and sadly a few days later they will leave the city with half hearted will and planning their next leave (in the transit itself) so that they can once again come down to “NAGPUR” and cherish the place and their beloved cuisine “NAGPURI SAOJI”.

So, in this entire narrated series of events (Cuisine and Pan), the expenditure occurred on the entire commodities is not more than 125 INR, but it is this 125 which makes the entire expenditure of lets say 7000 worth. And the aura in which they experience this all is absolutely free and cannot be recreated in any other part of the world even by spending the entire reserves of The Federal Bank. So, in a nutshell, the most valuable thing experienced is the intangible one and that is the air in which the entire happenings took place. And, to experience this air time and again these guys come down to Nagpur as and when possible (though it may not be reasonable to their employers always) which one can say is not costing a single rupee or one will be ready to buy it at any said price, but it is absolutely free and is most cherishable. Towards the end of the day, the one who experiences this all says that "These are a few things that Money REALLY cant buy…….."
