THE PHENOMENA!

From the title of this post one would expect it to have some supernatural theory or something extraordinary or something out of this world! What you will see is a weird yet true thing!
This is something which people do and have loads of fun doing it. I call this the GJ phenomena! You can actually keep anything before the word phenomena!
GJ is nothing but our very own Gulab Jamun! What I feel is the real fun of having gulab jamun is not in those bowls which we have in our house. The one’s in which we are given 2-3 pieces with some syrup and a spoon to eat! This is being very formal and actually looks strange for real GJ lovers!
The phenomena is something like..you see these fresh GJ’s being prepared in the evening..you have some just for a taste or say testing purpose! the real thing begins in the night! Everyone is sleeping..you come out of your room in the dark..you try to get to the kitchen like a blind man! Well these days you can have the light of your cell phone, earlier it was more fun! So reach the kitchen however you can, in fact count the number of steps for the next session! Reach the fridge, open it and then search the huge bowl having the GJ’s! This is just half work done...the real thing begins now...you need to see to it that you make no noise! The toughest part! While getting the hand on the bowl we tend to forget the other things present in the fridge due to the excitement and end up making some undesirable sound! Then we start searching for a smaller bowl, two spoons..one for eating and one for pouring the syrup following the traditional way is again a waste of time! What I do is just remove the lid from the bowl keep it on some other bowl and start gulping how many ever pieces I can just a like we have pani puri or gol gappa! ahhh heavens!!
The best part is you have the light coming from the fridge! So light is never a problem once you reach the kitchen! I’ve never had the bad luck of making any noise or disturbing others or anything like while doing all this! Well even if you are caught doing all this, you have a world full of excuses! The standard one being I was drinking water!! The most amazing part is the people in the house who think they can have them the next day find the empty bowl to their surprise!
Then watch a movie or a match and again carry on with the phenomena! One of my best experiences of the phenomena was during last year’s Wimbeldon semi final. I was seeing the champ Roger Federer play and I decided that I’ll eat as many GJ’s as the number of games he wins! He won 7-6 6-4 7-6. You got your math right I had 20 GJ’s that night!
Well GJ is just one of the things.There are many more(especially eateries!)like this and its real fun doing it! I guess this is the right age to do all this!
