Writing a story here ! Long post alert ..
Friday evening 6.05 pm I get a msg “ I am reaching the venue , pls let me know once food is delivered “ .
Me / totally unaware this msg makes me fall off my chair while I m just leaving for the gym .
I go to ny email check the clients name and see the order . Please see the long list of order in the picture attached , I have literally zero preparation , no idea what I m going to do , the location to be delivered is some 30 km away from where I live and it’s about time the food needs to reach and the cherry on the cake , it’s raining cats and dogs .
I panic for few seconds , take a deep breath , try to think as fast as I can that what is my right action at this point .
Ok yes I need to call her , I did without wasting another minute ,
I say “ I am sorry I have messed up I have forgotten and I have zero preps .
Response : oh ok in a calm way
Me : tell me realistically what time are your guests arriving , I will do it , just let me change menu pls , I can’t do what you have asked for but I ll do something good give me few seconds . She give me 90 min
She trusted me , said ok pls share with me once you think
I said ok I have 1 hour , I hang up the call . Run my mind to my fridge and my raw materials .
I call back and tell :
Pav bhaji , noodles , chilly paneer , dhokla , papdi chaat .
So blessed she said ok and I had all what was needed . Only thing I had to fetch from the mart below was pav ( breads ) .
3 burners all on , one induction , 2 helpers fully work mode , my mind running at lightning speed , mouth speaking - do this do that , hands calmly doing what’s required . And positive that all will be ok I can do it .
Around 7.20 I start searching driver with a whopping cost of 50$ for delivery but yet as expected no one accepting the order . I pack everything and with Gods name start my car .
Now for some reason my car is not connecting the apple car play and I can’t follow maps . Managed with phone speaker . 45 mins drive to a place in sg I have never gone to, the power of the divine with me was there .
Reached at 8.15 . Handed over and she’s all smiles . Hugged me and says we love your food .
