Random Ramblings at 2.20 am

I can't sleep. Thinking about..... Curry! What if curry was your favourite food? You loved curry. Every birthday and Christmas you would go to your favourite Indian restaurant and eat... Pickle tray to start, then mixed kebabs, onion bajis, then a rich creamy Passanda with Naan Bread!

Then one day you found that there was a serious shortage of Curry. You found some Curry but you knew you and these curries weren't right for each other. But over time you realised that everyone else seemed to still be enjoying Curry and found the perfect curry for them. Everyone around you was eating Curry and you could smell it, but there was no curry for you. You kept telling yourself that this was due to the curry shortage.

You went to different places in the hope that Curry wasn't so scarce in other places. Only to find the same lack of this particular Indian cuisine.

Some of your friends who had struggled to find Curry had started to eat Italian instead. This was considered unwise by many Curry lovers but there was always the hope that these Pizzas or Lesagnes could become an equally good version of Curry. And with the shortage of Curry didn't it make sense for them to try Italian, with the potential of becoming Curry?! Rather than wait out your entire existence without curry!

Another problem was that some Curries could leave a bad taste in your mouth which put you off eating the curry that part of you still craved. You wondered if curry would ever taste the same again. Sometimes you thought about what your perfect Curry day would be like, Evan planning it down to the last detail. Some of your friends started to say well maybe you'll never eat curry again. Maybe focus on other kinds of food. After all there's more to life that curry. But deep down you know, that right curry must be out there. You would rather go on believing than accept that you may never find curry.
