"Gram" Bell...

It was back in the days of college when I had taken up studies for a degree in Computers. We had a professor, let me call him Mr A K.
Now Mr A K had noticed our interest or the lack of it, during his classes. :D
So in order to threaten us.. he cursed.. "Tum sab college ke bahar channe bechoge... channe!!!".
Or translated as "You all will sell Bengal grams (or chickpeas) outside college".

Shameless as we were... the poor guy's curse became more like a one line joke for us! A remark that could be said to anyone at anytime who did not comply to your requests!

Well, now that college days are long gone... and now that we have settled into the monotony of working in a Software Industry. A "bell" rang while discussing with some college friends that after all, selling chick peas or channas would'nt be such a bad idea. Just think about the variety -

- channa chat
- channa jor garam
- bhuna chana
- chole bhatoore
- channa kulcha

the list could go on.. and you could innovate by introducing dishes made out of channa products as well.. :D. That would mean besan - pakodas, kadhi.....

Well at least it sounds more interesting than what I do these days for a living.. :D

End of one nonsense post :)
