'The dinner conversation was long because oil being viscous liquid, took a longer time to travel from oesophagus to the stomach.' hahaha....good one there.....but i would think that oil would also act as a lubricant and reduce friction and hence make the transit easier for the food.....:P :P I loved the word 'deci-humored'. And if you ever ask a man to wash the pressure cooker.....you will have to wash it again before u make dinner the next day! This is a fact not open to discussion :) Loved the Maupassant-isque flavor (twist) to the story. I am glad that because of you the story of Indira didi and many like her is being told. You compel me to confront my own prejudices. I really wished we could take your stories to more people: namely foreigners. So that they could sample 'vintage' Nepal (and Nepalese). We love u sumoff.
