How smoke detector became my villain?
I would like to boast myself that I'm a good cook. Don't give a look. I'm telling serious. One fine Sunday, I was cooking sambar , rasam and potato curry (That day something struck my mind and said, "Sajith, you can do it", that's why I touched the cooking utensils. Otherwise who cares!). Here the hotel rooms are closed completely and the windows cannot be fully opened and smoke detectors are placed to detect any smoke, so that fire accidents can be avoided. Coolers/ heaters are in the room which can be used to control the temperature. Why I'm saying all this? Got puzzled? Adding pepper and salt to get more flavor. Hope you would able to predict something I guess!
Finished cooking sambar and was about to cook rasam. Poured oil into the vessel and the vessel became so hot which I didn't notice. When I added garlic and mustard seeds, a thick smoke came out from the pan, as if coming out from steam engine, and within minutes I started to hear siren coming from fire engine. For a couple of minutes I was wondering what the heck happened and has any police arrived to hotel? Suddenly I realized that it is coming out from the smoke detector in my room. Oh man! You know, I started to sweat like a pig and didn't know what to do?
The smoke detector is in the roof above the bed, so tried to wave my hands off to clear the smoke. Ran length of the room and tried to open window couldn't open. Tried to keep the door but was worried coz i don't want the next door person to give a stare look on me. Suddenly an idea struck me, did kept the coolers to the coldest temperature. Switched on the TV and kept in high volume to suppress this sound. All done still this alarm is wailing. So I prepared myself by saying, "Sajith, this is your worst day prepare yourself and don't worry man whoever comes and questions you or throws you out of the hotel. Don't worry this is not the end of world. You will definitely find a way to come out of it. You have friends who can make you stay in their rooms". So many thinking went through and I switched off the burner everything and poured water on it to look as if i wasn't cooking at all and all the utensils went into the kitchen cabinet and nothing was outside and I was whistling a Tamil song which encourages how to face any situation but still horror in my face was clearly visible when I checked the mirror in the bath room.
Bit curious to know what happened? This siren went for fifteen minutes and no one turned up and I rang up my colleague and told up this incident and asked him why the hotel authorities didn't turn up?
He said, this is quite usual man, since there were lots of Indians used to stay in that hotel. They know that some Indian is doing cooking. Ha ha!
Finally I relaxed myself and laughed thinking about my genius work!
