Dog Eared

"I think I should sleep now. I can see the sunrise.",

"Mm."

"It's beautiful."

"Take a picture for your Instagram."

"Not getting out of my bed."

"Mm. Yeah, you should. I gotta write as well. It's my writing night."

"What will you write about?"

"I have two things in mind but I won't write about either. I'll write some crap instead."

"Okay. Like this conversation?"

"Why would I write about this conversation? You don't read my blog. You have never read it."

"Yeah, but when you said crap, I thought you'd write about this."

"That's not the kind of--this isn't crap!"

"Uhuh."

"See, you and me...this conversation is like eating a Raj Kachodi. There's a lot of things going on. My blog is like (pauses) have you ever sat in Indian Railways?"

"What?"

"Indian train? Have you ever taken a ride? Like from Delhi to some place?"

"I can't hear you."

"Hello? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?"

"Hello? I can't hear you."

"Hello? Can you hear me now?"

"Yeah, now I can."

"Have you ever travelled in Indian railways?"

"Um, no. I have never--oh wait, I did actually take the train to Banaras."

"So, do you remember eating this version of chana? Like Kaala Chana that they make for Kanjak?"

"No."

"They boil Kaala Chana and add chopped pyaaz, tamatar, hari mirch, and chutney and that's the world's most disgusting chaat."

"Oh, I've actually had it in Nainital. It's AMAZING!"

"Joon, what's wrong with you? That's the WORST kind of chaat there is. It's so bloody coarse. It's hardly a chaat."

"You're supposed to chew it!"

"It's disgusting. I hate it."

"I had it in Nainital. It's so good man! They put a lot of chaat masala, you're supposed to chew it like all other kinds of chaat."

"Yeah, not all chaat require chewing. A chaat should not get stuck in your throat. It should come to you, softly."

"No. But anyway, which ones don't?"

"Aloo tikki. It's so soft!"

"THAT IS MASHED POTATOES, OFCOURSE YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEW IT."

"You asked for an example."

"Yeah but it's not in the same league. Those potatoes are fried!"

"Are you telling me chana chaat is better than aloo tikki?"

"No way man. I said none of that. But it's mashed potatoes. You can't compare those two."

"Aloo tikki isn't coarse. That's how chaat is supposed to be."

"Fine. Okay. We can't do this."
