Disaster At Lunch!

One day a reporter went down to the restaurant most frequented by the newsroom
crowd. He was ravenously hungry and wanted to have a full meal. So he ordered a
dish of Dal Khichdi (pulses and rice cooked together deliciously).
As he was waiting impatiently for the food the editor joined him all of a
sudden. The reporter politely asked if he wanted some food. The editor only
stared back expressionlessly with the hint of a smile. The reporter thought the
dish was likely to be shared and his stomach pangs became threatening.
The appetizingly filled dish arrived and one empty plate was requested
for sharing. The editor did not betray anything that could be deciphered as far
as the food was concerned.
As the waiter placed the empty plate on the table the editor immediately
took up the Dal Khichdi dish and poured the full content into the empty
plate. And, he started devouring in a hurry and with great relish.
The hapless reporter just looked on. He was now desperately hungry and
yet, could not decide on his next course of action. He was sure if he ordered
another dish the bill for both the dishes would be on him. If he just vanished
from the spot for which he felt a great urge the editor could create more
problems when settling the bill.
For the time being the reporter decided just to enjoy ‘his’ eating!
