Biryani – GOD



At the end of the busy street of the railway station, a middle-class man pulled in all his money to start a Biryani restaurant was an engineering graduate and he had deep ideas on how to improve his business.

On the third day after he started his restaurant, he set up a camera to capture the reactions of people who came to his place to taste biryani.

He woke up, he hid the camera behind the curtain of a kitchen window. Though he was busy and working hard all day, his eyes were all on the camera. He ran in and out of the kitchen, up and down to the counter, but nothing could stop him from watching the camera and the people he focused on.

He just started the restaurant, and all the money he had was invested, but on a rental basis, he could afford one cam. He finally decided to focus on only one table, which was almost at the entrance.

The time was 9.30 at night, and the business which picked few hours ago just slowed down. He closed and cleaned. Ran to the camera, and couldn’t wait to play the recordings.

The conclusions he made were dramatic, to be honest, nothing useful for his business. He was taken by surprise that he captured a lot of reactions.

When he started watching the recording.

A young 26-year-old walked into the restaurant, whom his friend forced. When he took the first bite he was impressed with the taste and so happy that his friend brought him to this place.

The restaurant owner felt proud of his chef and gained more confidence in expanding it.

Later a 30-year-old walked in with his family. The lady went through the menu and ordered the biryani. The family was excited to be there, they were attracted to the family deal and colourful hoardings. But they ended up in disappointment. It tasted terrible for them, the kids were not happy, and the family felt like wasted good money.

Watching all these on the video cam, the owner was devastated.

It immediately concluded that the same biryani tasted different to each.

Then came a young couple holding hands, happy and cheerful, to be honest, they didn’t care about either biryani or the new restaurant. They just wanted to eat something, they didn’t even care for a menu. They just signalled for one biryani and were completely indulged in conversation. The owner watched this clip and couldn’t conclude anything.

The above scenario just depicts “GOD” in this world. Some were introduced to GOD, and some were excited and dependent but felt shattered while some did neither.

Every person is different from what they experience and realize.
