Have you ever had a jam worth Rs 3,000? Well, you're lucky. Cause I will be doing that soon!
How a 30 buck jam became a 3K one is a story so not worth telling. But to put it briefly, here I was carrying guava jelly jam in my handbag and the security at the airport asked me to take it out. With a sinking heart I pulled the jam out and was then told that this supreme sacrifice was not needed and I could just check my bag in. Silly me!
With a skip in my step I went back to the counter and checked it all in, including having a fragile sticker put on it and ran back to the security...only to be told my flight had taken off without me!!
What's more is that I was told the next flight out of Chennai was 7 hours later but since I'm creating such a scene I could buy myself a ticket on Indian Airlines for only 3K extra! And so I paid 3K for a bottle of jam!
Yes, I received many calls when I returned to Delhi most of which went...- hahahahahaha! You and your love for food!
But the larger question remains.....WHY ME??????????????????????

Ha ha ha!!! I was wondering about the Facebook status and now it makes sense!!
Couldn't you have just abandoned the jam or did the food really mean that much to you that you just HAD to check it in?
Zee is it Chennai or is it just you??? So how did the jam taste?
It is you because you have the power to face it!
It is you because you have the 3K to pay for it!
these rich people will do anything for a Jam!! ;-D

Hi,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Keep Talking’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
Ray
