Gandhi’s revenge.
India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. We stripped its riches for two hundred years before tossing its withered husk back to them in 1947.
But did the Indians get the last laugh? I now believe they did.
Last night I had dinner at the legendary Akash Indian restaurant in Accrington. OMYGAWD!!!
I had Lamb vindaloo and a chicken korma and the effect was staggering in its thermal velocity. Like sucking on the breast of the fire Goddess Vesta, the vindaloo is a mix of lava and molten plutonium, broiled on the surface of the sun for a thousand centuries. There isn’t enough beer in the world to put this fire out.
People from all over the north of England come here on drunken bets, only to realize they have bitten off far more than they can possibly gag down.
I know that the deep regret has yet to set in, and this experience will leave my ass in tatters (the famous ‘ring of fire‘ effect)…. But right now it hurts sooo good.
