mission samosa snatch..

โ€“ Classified Chatori Chaat Meeting

SWC took a dramatic sip of lassi and leaned toward Raju like a spy in a Bollywood thriller.

โ€œRajuโ€ฆ the thiefโ€™s name is Samosa King.โ€

Raju: โ€œSounds like a roadside snack shop.โ€

SWC: โ€œNoโ€ฆ heโ€™s a man. Legend says he once ate so many samosas in one sitting, the halwai fainted.โ€

Raju: โ€œSo his crime is cholesterol?โ€

SWC: โ€œNo, his crime is stealing my limitedโ€‘edition sunglasses and wearing them like some budget hero.โ€

Raju: โ€œYou haveโ€ฆ limitedโ€‘edition sunglasses?โ€

SWC: โ€œFiftyโ€‘seven pairs. Even one with Bluetooth speakers so I can listen to bhajans while grazing.โ€

โ€“ The Disguise That Deserved Jail

Raju: โ€œOkay, but how will we even get close to him? Youโ€™re a cow.โ€

SWC: โ€œExactly. No one suspects a cowโ€ฆ in disguise.โ€

Five minutes later, SWC returned wearing:

A massive fake moustache

A polkaโ€‘dot dupatta

A โ€œHello My Name Is Sunitaโ€ badge

Raju nearly choked on pani puri.

โ€œYou look like a cow who runs an MLM scheme.โ€

SWC: โ€œPerfect. Letโ€™s move.โ€

โ€“ Samosa Arena

Rajendra Park was a battlefieldโ€”rows of tables piled high with samosas, aunties in the crowd betting on contestants, and one kid selling cold drink for โ‚น200 a bottle.

The MC shouted into the mic:

โ€œWelcome to the 5th Annual Eatโ€‘Tillโ€‘Youโ€‘Explode Samosa Championship! Winner gets โ‚น500 cash and a yearโ€™s supply of Eno.โ€

And there he wasโ€”Samosa Kingโ€”in a red kurta, gold chain so thick it could tow a car, and SWCโ€™s golden shades gleaming like treasure.

SWC whispered, โ€œTarget confirmed. Initiate Operation Munchโ€‘nโ€‘Snatch.โ€

โ€“ The Distraction

Raju: โ€œWhatโ€™s the plan?โ€

SWC: โ€œYou enter the contest.โ€

Raju: โ€œMe? I can barely finish two samosas without crying.โ€

SWC: โ€œCry later. Win now.โ€

Soon, Raju was seated next to the Samosa King, who looked him up and down.

โ€œNew guy? You look like youโ€™ve never met a samosa in your life.โ€

Raju: โ€œAnd you look like youโ€™ve married three of them.โ€

The whistle blew. Everyone started eating like their life depended on it.

Raju tried to keep up but after samosa #4 he started hallucinating wedding bands playing in his ears.

โ€‚โ€“ Moo of Mayhem

While the King was distracted showing off his โ€œtwoโ€‘samosaโ€‘atโ€‘onceโ€ technique, SWC casually strolled by, โ€œaccidentallyโ€ mooing loud enough to make him jump.

His samosa flew into the crowd and landed in an auntyโ€™s handbag.

Chaos erupted.

The aunty screamed, thinking it was a rat, and whacked three people with her purse.

In the commotion, Raju reached over and yoinked the golden sunglasses right off the Kingโ€™s face.

โ€“ Bollywoodโ€‘Style Escape

โ€œStop them!โ€ the King roared, mouth full of halfโ€‘chewed samosa.

Raju and SWC ran through the parkโ€”Raju holding his stomach, SWC mooing dramatically like a slowโ€‘motion movie scene.

They jumped over a golgappa cart, dodged two dancing uncles, and slid into a narrow gali.

SWC put the shades back on and flipped her head like a diva.

โ€œMission successful. How do I look?โ€

Raju: โ€œLike a cow who just robbed a gangster at a food festival.โ€

SWC: โ€œGood. Thatโ€™s exactly the look I was going for.โ€

She started walking away.

Raju: โ€œWhere are we going now?โ€

SWC: โ€œTo a wedding. I have a leadโ€ฆ and also Iโ€™m craving rasgullas.โ€
