Samosa Chronicle

A  Bus Journey from Greater Noida to Delhi and Back


In the realm of camaraderie, where Army, Navy, and Air Force Plus converge on a daily bus journey from Greater Noida to Delhi, there exists a legendary logbook wielded by the Bus Adjutant, the impeccable Jagbir. His weapon of choice? The infamous Samosa Penalty.

Jagbir's logbook chronicles the tales of tardiness, turning every latecomer into a culinary culprit. The penalty? A steaming-hot samosa, a delectable punishment that has the entire troop toeing the line.

As the wheels of the bus roll towards Delhi, the 25-odd travelers find solace in the promise of a hot samosa waiting for them on the return trip. The anticipation builds, creating an unspoken bond that transcends service branches.

Meet the Treasurer in Chief, the maestro behind the centralized samosa bashes and farewell parties – none other than the illustrious Col Ajay. He orchestrates these events with military precision, ensuring no samosa is left behind.

The Air Force, tasked with the delicate art of packing and delivering these golden parcels of joy, rises to the challenge. With each journey, they transform the bus into a flying samosa dispensary, leaving everyone onboard grateful for the airmen's culinary expertise.

In this unique military odyssey, latecomers are not met with jeers but cheers. A late entry into the bus becomes a source of amusement rather than reproach, as the camaraderie built around samosa diplomacy is too strong to foster resentment.

The samosa, more than a snack, becomes the glue that binds this eclectic band of brothers and sisters. The shared laughter, the light-hearted banter, and the joy of biting into a piping-hot samosa create memories that linger long after the journey ends.

In the end, it's not just a bus ride; it's a gastronomic adventure, a symphony of laughter, and a testament to the unifying power of humor. The Samosa Chronicles capture the essence of military brotherhood – where every late arrival is a hero, every samosa is a treasure, and every journey is a tale worth telling.

Ichigoichi

  This Japanese mindset will make you love your life again. Have you ever felt like life is slipping through your fingers, like you're rushing from one task to the next, one achievement to another? But, somehow it all feels empty. You might scroll through your phone, binge, watch a show or check off goals on your to-do list. But deep down, is this lingering question -  Is this all there is? It's a heavy thought, isn't it? But what if the problem isn't life itself. But the way we're living it.  Today, I want to share with you a Japanese mindset that could completely transform how you experience life. It's called Ichigoichi, which roughly translates to one time, one meeting at its core.  This philosophy teaches us that every single moment we live is unique,  fleeting and unrepeatable. Think about that for a second. Every interaction you have, every sunset you watch, every cup of coffee you drink is all happening for the first and last time.  ...

Tipsy : Marilyn Monroe of Desserts

Image
A Historical Overview Tipsy Pudding, often associated with the British colonial era, has a history deeply embedded in the culinary traditions of the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Originating from the classic British dessert known as "tipsy cake" or "tipsy pudding," this dish was first popularised in the 18th century. Its name derives from the use of alcohol in the recipe, which was believed to "tip" or intoxicate the pudding, hence the term "Tipsy." The pudding’s basic components include layers of sponge cake or ladyfingers soaked in a mixture of alcohol (typically sherry or brandy), which are then covered with a rich, creamy custard. This combination results in a dish that is both indulgent and sophisticated. Global Presence As British influence spread across the world, so did Tipsy Pudding. Its presence was established in various regions, particularly in former British colonies where it adapted to...

Adventures of an Injured Spine at Base Hospital

Image
It was a crisp, bright morning, the kind that makes birds chirp cheerily and humans contemplate existential questions. I had landed — quite literally — in the confines of the stately Base Hospital , a military establishment that takes the phrase “on your back” rather too literally. My L4, L5, and L5-S1 discs had decided to play musical chairs with my nerves, resulting in what medical professionals call PIVD and what I call PAIN IN VERY DAMAGING-PLACES . In other words, I was horizontal. Flat out. Immobile. Reduced to the noble state of a beached whale, with all the grace and elegance of a potato in a tuxedo. Now, let me clarify — this fall wasn’t a result of any valourous military endeavour, or a duel over honour, or even a particularly slippery banana peel. No, it was far more inglorious — a mundane tumble with all the drama of a fall interrupted by gravity at 9.8 / m sq. I kept neglecting my condition for a month and landed up here in Base Hospital.  ...
