Things are as they are, not as they should be!

Food War

I am restless. I chide myself for acting so weirdly.

I try focussing on the words I am reading, but they don’t register at all.

I glance at the stopwatch on my phone for the nth time. I know, that’s crazy. I am willing it to buzz at 30 minutes, but oblivious to my racing pulse it is following its own pace.

The door bell rings, and I glance once again hopefully at the stopwatch.

“Damn, he is punctual, yet again”, I mutter.

I open the door and there he is… the smiling Pizza Delivery Boy.

Smiling at his victory? 30-minutes-or-less-symbol

Pizza

I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words 8th – 14th December 2013.Β The Theme for today is Food.

    1. I guess we are impatient about a pizza delivery because it comes with that 30 minute guarantee! πŸ˜€ Thanks Pixie πŸ™‚

  1. I think you ordered the pizza from Domino’s. They are the ones who used to advertise β€œdelivered in 30 minutes of it’s free”. They stopped that campaign after quite a few accidents by the delivery guys. Their pizza tastes good. In fact, we ordered from them last night.

    1. Yes, they have this 30 minute guarantee! I guess, this campaign is still going on here! I love Pizza Hut more as compared to Domino’s. πŸ™‚

  2. I am never happy when they are on time. And for the last 3 times, they have been late, and I have eaten for free. πŸ˜€
    Ordinary made extraordinary in your post. Nice one!

    1. I know what you mean, Sakshi! For so many years, we never bothered about the timings. Then one day, they were late and gave the pizzas free without we asking for it. And since then we are on a lookout for a free pizza and they just dont come late! πŸ™„

    1. Oh yes, Mumbai traffic is so bad, poor guys, if they stick to their 30 minute guarantee, they’d go bankrupt! πŸ˜†

  3. Ah, yes waiting for that pizza to arrive does seem like ages. But those damn delivery boys are so punctual. Nice one πŸ™‚

    1. Oh yes, damn their punctuality! πŸ˜€ How mean of us!! For a free pizza, we are cribbing about this punctuality!! πŸ˜†

  4. hmmmm….The picture is making me hungry…tananandi ki pizza aaye free….is the 1st thing that came in my mind when i read ur post πŸ˜‰

  5. I can’t believe we had a conversation yesterday night where I was trying to “give you some inspiration” about food. You’ve just hit the ball right out of the park girl! Kudos. Loved it !

    1. It was after that inspiring chat with you, I could make this one happen. Thank you so much, Sid! And this pizza is for you!! πŸ˜€

    1. LOL Vishal πŸ˜€ He inspired me at 1 am to write this post. He deserves it πŸ˜€ You can have a slice too πŸ˜€

  6. Don’t really like the pizzas from Dominos or Pizza Hut. We prefer Smokin Joe’s. But I guess it is a Mumbai based outfit. They actually put less cheese, if you request them.

    1. Have had pizzas from Smokin Joe’s when we were in Mumbai and yes they are good. I prefer Pizza Hut and recently we had pizzas at La Pinoz, Shimla… that was the bestest pizza I had ever had!

  7. An unique take on the prompt!
    an ode to the pizza boys too, one of the tribes that is punctua!!

    The dominos in our area informs us sometimes before hand that they can’t deliver within 30 minutes( during rains especially). but like you say most times they are on time.

    1. Yes, even here, during festive/rainy seasons they do inform about the delivery being late! Thank you Asha πŸ™‚

  8. Looks like a Dominos pizza. But these delivered pizzas are never hot and sizzling enough, I always have to heat it in the oven to make it crispy and fresh tasting again. Nice topic to munch on.

    1. True, they are so prompt. As I mentioned earlier, in so many years, we got the pizzas free only once! 😐

  9. I guess this 30 minute or else free campaign isn’t practiced here in the Middle East πŸ™‚ haan, we all love pizzas, and a free pizza tastes doubly good πŸ˜€ Lovely pizzzz, I mean piece πŸ˜€
