Chapter Ten: A Proverb

 "Hindi is a beautiful language and proverbs are its jewel... " boomed Mr. Nageshwar, our language teacher as he taught us in his old high voice. A real pain to ear as I like to call it.

I could spend hours staring at her and it would pass by as minutes. I could ...... "Mr. Simple Man what are you busy with this time " yelled Mr. Nageshwar in my ears as he called me out from my sweet little dream. "Answer the question !! What is the meaning of too many cooks spoil the broth"  I, at that time was terrible at language, and did not know the answer and aftermath could be an easy guess.  Well whatever, but you know why I told you this story because now years after, I know the answer which leads us to today's adventure!!
