My Quest For Biryani!

It was a friday evening when nothing else would satisfy my appetite other than this mouth watering dish - biryani.....Ma said that she would make a preparation of chicken-curry/manchurian...but I seemed to imagine nothing except me having biryani for dinner that night.....so she said that if u must then bring 2 plates ....coz my eagerness for the dish had begun to show its effect!

Off I rode on my bike....was feeling so energized by the thought of the refreshing taste......I was so engrossed in the thought that took a the wrong turn instead of heading straight.....no worries.....came back to the correct route and finally reached my biryani destination....the Lokenath fast food corner.......to my astonishment, when I asked the vendor to pack two plates of chicken biryani....he said "Khatam"....I just could'nt believe my ears......how could it be possible?Earlier I had bought food from this same place at the same time(9:15 pm)......But nothing could be done now......But that could not make me go back.....I refused to give up....off I rode on my gladiator towards an unknown destination ahead because I had never gone beyond this place.... By now I was a long way from home....so what? I thought....today I would return home only with biryani....... Speeding ahead....i saw a railway crossing....at the left I saw another fast food stall.....prayerfully I kept searching for the "biryani" text on the banners placed over there.....noodles,roll,momo,chili chicken,.....aah "biryani" got you now my love!!! Please pack 2 plates of chicken biryani for me....."Biryani Shesh(bengali) - Biryani over" came the reply...... how peculiar....is EVERYONE running after my beloved today???.... "Move on" said my inner voice....now I approached a flyover....the neighbourhood road had now come to an end....I saw two shops opposite to each other....The right shop had banners with the words-south indian,north indian,chinese,biryani...... now there was a ray of hope..... but no.... same answer again..... To the left was a mini restaurant with no banners like chinese,north indian,etc... But whats the harm in asking?... Biryani ache(biryani available)? this time was asked a question in return....do you want chicken biryani?.....yes.....ok...we have but you need to wait for around 15 minutes...is that OK?....Sure thing.....I WILL.....I could wait for an hour even.......So my quest was finally successful u see :) ......
Only 2 plates of biryani was available.....LUCKY ME!.....I settled down to sit and watch the first IPL match being played - Kolkata Knight Riders vs Deccan Chargers ......

After a while my eyes sparkled when I saw the biryani vessel being emptied to fill up 2 boxes full of biryani!He carefully picked up each piece of rice to make sure the parcel was hefty enough!....After payment I drove off fast homewards for a mouthful biryani dinner!!!!!This night was really memorable and hence is now residing in my blog!!!
