Daane daane pe…

leave a comment »

And so, on Christmas Day 2016, Mrs Taste, a neighbour from one of the upper floors, prepared Chicken Kolhapuri and asked her house help Sarala to take some for Mr. Bist. “He is a foodie and will love it,” she said. But Sarala got the surname mixed up and took it for the Bendres on one of the lower floors.
Later, Mrs Bendre called up Mrs Taste. “Thank you… That was an excellent dish you prepared!” “What?” asked a shocked Mrs Taste. “But that was for Mr. Bist!”
When confronted, the perennially smiling Sarala laughed off her faux pas thus: “Didi, daane daane pe likha hain khaane wale ka naam!”
