When Caul met Cauli

For few of those of you who have seen "When Harry met Sally" & remember the orgasm faking scene in the restaurant would appreciate this article better - For those who have not still read on - Wouldnt like to deprive you of yet another great piece of writing ( yes yes, its not very modest)

Back to the General who has now broken every rule in the book on discipline which he co-authored himself - He's been absent for meetings, get togethers, funerals( poor soul), attacks on neighbouring countries and what not - His focus was completely on his lady love - They watched movies together, dined out, went to Karaoke pubs( General didnt sing for fear of damage to public property), etc - Such was his liking for the lady that he enrolled for dance classes - Salsa - General wanted to learn a flirtatious & sensual form of dance & his man Friday Sudhama suggested this - Salsa didnt turn out very well with General trying to copy his bhangra moves there - In this fusion of very constrasting dance forms, General damaged his ankle - Last heard Sudhama got transferred to some remote jungle in Arunachal Pradesh.

They say timing is everything in life - General had missed one chance in the dance floor and this wasnt to happen the next time. Luck struck when people of General's organization decided to hold a potluck where people were supposed to cook food and get it. General thought - Time to show the lady about how Kashmiri food can be cooked in Marrakesh spices - He got up at 4 in the morning to start cooking for her and at the end of 6 hours, a delectable dish was prepared - Kash Chicken Marrakesho - (translated it means "Wish the chicken does it" in Kashmiri)

The stage was set - The lady was supposed to start crooning General's name after tasting the food - So General walked in the party with his lady - They were a pretty sight when General dressed in a T-shirt proudly proclaiming Brigadier( dont they take titles seriously in army?) and his lady in ahem, what shall we say - very nice attire.
The stage was set, the food was to be eaten and then it would be history!!Unfortunately for the General we decided to play a game of Taboo before that - Boys vs Girls - General thought this is another chance to impress upon her his hold on the queen's language - The word which came to General was shoulder - Here is how it went
First 10 seconds - Various possible expressions a human being can make
Next 10 seconds - Clue - Used to trip people
Next 10 seconds - team members guessing legs, ankles, feet, body etc
Next 5 seconds - General shrugging his shoulders( Caught by opposite team and fined -1)
Next 10 seconds - His lady proclaiming why didnt u say the body part beneath the neck
Next 10 seconds - General looking like the atom bomb fell on his head
Last 5 seconds - He broked the taboo board for making him look like a fool
1 minute is over and General hasnt scored & also managed to scare his lady through his mildly(ahem) aggressive behaviour
Anyways whats human spirit but imdomitable? One defeat doesnt scare our General - He thought the food would make her forget every small & big folly of his( last heard folly count = 126) - He got up and served her the food along with a glass of red wine - Wow!!!!!! Reminded us of the scene in Cheeni Kum - Anyways we waited with bated breath till she tasted that heavenly food - She took a small bite - We all are waiting, time has stopped, birds are not moving and General's face resembles an employee waiting for his CPR results -

....................................................................................................................
Shriek - IS THIS NON VEG?

General has apparated to Hogwarts in a second - Apparently on their way here, she had told the General that she would be off non veg food for a month for some religious reasons and he forgot that in his zeal to expose her to his culinary skills
Hey whats this ? Ok General has managed to apparate himself back to the potluck venue's dustbin - And comes out of his with a sheepish grin!!! He gets a stare which could have frozen even the Hulk - that frozen stare would haunt General every moment in his life - Would she ever be his? what does he need to do to get her love?

For those of who are trying to make a co-relation to the Harry & Sally remark made in the starting, there is no co-relation - I was just trying to make the blog intriguing, thats it
