The word 'inflation' did not bother me. It was just another piece of news in the dailies, untill it ate into my biryani.

My favourite biryani delivered by Hyderabad House is much lesser now. The inflation had eaten into it. Earlier four people could eat one large biryani. My flat mate and I joked that we needed an extra stomach attached alongside each of us to finish one pack.

Now, there is no need for the extra stomachs. We could not even have our existing stomachs filled.

Inflation has dipped to a single digit. It doesn’t matter to me again. Just one thing that I pray for is to get my large biryani back.
