Though scientists have their own theories and reasons why tears roll out of our eyes when we peel onions. But for me it was something different..... as I was deeply moved by a theory that I heard in my childhood days.
I remember a day when I was peeling onions... crying, as if I broke up with my first girl friend. My grandma yelled... 'pyaj sahanu nasakney le buri sahanu sakdaina hai keta....' [Boy! those who can't bear onions can't bear their wife]
That was the moment when I decided to be an 'ultimate onion peeler' no matter what, not taking any chances to ruin my relationship with my wifey.... :)
You call it my fate or anything, onions have become a part of my life now. In the flat where we stay [recently named as Reverie House], you'll probably see me cutting onions most of the time...
There is this one person responsible for me turning into Onion-Man: Mr. Vinay Sir, just to give you a little idea, he is the man who needs 5 kilos of onion, 2 kilos of tomato, half kilos of lasun and half kilos of garlic... all this for 2 kilo chicken.
So, I have taken up the task of cutting onions and making everything ready for him while he prepares the dish. At first he used to get shocked on seeing us eating rice with chicken.... his favourite dialogue 'ap log chicken ke saath chawwwal kaise khate ho?' [How do you manage to eat rice with chicken?] OR 'bina roti k pet kaise bharta hoga?' [How do you get full on stomach without chapati?]
Though this Onion-Man peels and cuts lot of onion on a daily basis but still I haven't made myself capable enough to bear the prickling sensation in my eye.... I am afraid if all my efforts have gone in vain!!
OMG..... thats really frightening.... If I can't bear the onions, how can I bear my wife? huhuhu.......
