I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST DIWALI!
Based on true events.
Thirteen years at Yudhika & Company, and I’ve survived enough Diwali sweetmeat scandals to produce my own Netflix series!
There was Sunninghill Seema and the Six Banana Puri, Last-Minute Lalitha, and White Biscuit Sundri, who wanted biscuits so white that even the oven wasn’t allowed to brown them. Unfortunately, there’s no setting for raw but ready!
And who could forget the Half-Dipped Gulab Jamun Horror?
An auntie was furious because she wanted her gulab jamuns HALF DIPPED in syrup! I tried explaining that the syrup needs to soak right through, otherwise you risk a dry, hard centre. But Auntie wasn’t interested. She wanted half dipped, and I was getting a full dipping!
My head was so hot I could have fried banana puri on it!
Then came the dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, butter-free burfee brigade. At this point, are we making sweetmeats or performing miracles?
But the biggest Diwali horror? Customers remembering their orders when the ovens are off, the trays are packed and everyone has gone home!
ORDERS CLOSING SOON
Please send your orders through today, even after shop hours, so we can give every order the care, quality, value and service it deserves.
Less drama. More Diwali. And please, don’t make Aunty’s head hot!
P.S. Should I start a Diwali Disasters series? Thirteen years of stories and I’ve barely scratched the surface! Tell me your funniest Diwali disaster. I could do with a laugh!
