Lunches

[Guest guest]

Once Sri, Ava, and Bal were taking some time off from book distribution, so the

TP told them to do some construction work on a neraby 20 storeyed building, and

bring some Laxmi. Everyday, they used to take their lunch, and eat together on

the roof to have some Krishna Katha in the middle of all the hefty work. One

day Sri opened his lunch, and said,"If I'm going to find idli-dosa again

tomorrow in my lunch, I'm going to jump off this buidling, and commit suicide".

Bal opened his lunch, and said,"Oh no, not khichari again. If I'm going to

find khichari again tomorrow for lunch, I too am going to jump off the building

and commit suicide". Ava opened his lunch, and said,"If I'm again going to

find paranthas in my lunch box tomorrow, I'll commit suicide too".

Next day, Sri opened his lunch box. Sure enough there was idli-dosa. He

wished good bye to Bal and Ava, and jumped off the building. He died as soon

as he hit the ground. Bal opened his lunch box, found khichari. He too jumped

off the building and died. Ava looked at his lunch box, found paranthas,

jumped off the building and died.

In the midst of all the arrangements of funeral, TP tried to find out why it

happened. The other construction workers told him of the problem with lunches.

TP at-once summoned Vik, the cook, and inquired,"Why did you keep packing the

same lunches for them everyday?" Vik replied," Prabhuji, I didn't know that

they didn't like their lunches, but I'm not so sure about Ava prabhu." TP

asked,"Why?" Vik replied," because he used to pack his own lunch."
