Kolkata Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is nothing but purely bliss. Especially being a typical Bengali man, I preferred the legendary'Kolkata Style' of Biryani which contains a huge potato and a boiled egg. Now very few people know that the Kolkata Style of chicken biryani was actually made by the chef of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Lucknow hence considering that fact it was an extension of the Lucknavi Biryani. 

I shared this fact once on the lunch table in office and people laughed. She hates potatoes yet loves chicken a lot and she joined the others in laughing about the potato in the Biryani.

I knew the fact and kept quite. Later on one day I bumped into a video which actually stated the same and I shared the link with her on WhatsApp. Also I wrote the lines 'Please watch this video. It proves my point that Kolkata Biryani originated from lucknow'.

She read and replied 'Did not know that Biryani ka aloo can be so important for someone'

I replied 'Myself not taken seriously was more important here'.

She replied with her usual and my limited knowledge of smiles. I hate smileys to the core. It actually means just the opposite of what we are thinking and yet projects that in a comical manner. If you are lazy enough to write a small sentence, then please call me! 

But yes that was the first start to our personal conversations and I felt like initiating something which I believed in with all my heart and soul. I liked the way she sends the smileys, completely out of context anytime and in even the gravest of situations. I like the child in her, I simply love the way she calls my name (very seldom, only when she is at the peak of her emotional state, she usually refers me to a different name which has many tonal as well as spelling variations). I felt a connection, I felt someone is there within, who can give me the world (Did she? Read on).
