Then there was a Mongol...

Once a upon a time in Mongolia there lived a great Emperor named Genghis Khan. Now he conquered a lot of places and some say he was a nice guy and some say that he wasn't, and after leading a long and fruitful life.... he died. That is not what I'm here to talk about .

What I am interested is however that the fact the he was the world's biggest rapist and got away with it. And according to historians, he did it with so many women that his bloodline still runs today in the most unlikely people. And due to all that there was a young boy who was born. And like the great Khan there were a lot of legends surrounding him. Some say he was born knowing every oriental language, and also every known martial art. And at the present rate of his voracious appetite, is now the sole reason Africa is starving.

One day he had a vision that the great Khan came to him and revealed to him of his true lineage mixed along with a lot of blood of tamilians and kannadigas. He was inspired. He also learnt from the great Khan the reason why he went on world conquest. The great Khan was bored at home and wanted to eat in a swanky persian restaurant. But they denied him on the grounds of "rights of admission reserved". The great Khan was furious and livid. He made an oath to the Gods that he would one day eat all the culinaries in the world. But they denied him everywhere with the same sign "rights of admission reserved". So the great Khan went on world conquest to eat fine cuisine. The great khan conquerd China for their momos and noodles, Persia for their biryani and kababs, Italy for their pastas and pizzas, Germany for their blackforest cake, Russia for their vodka and so on ....

But before he could complete his oath to the gods .... he died. And his successors in their squabbles forgot their sire's true vision.

To the young boy he implored as his heir he must complete his oath to the gods else the great Khan would not be at peace. The young boy after his vision set out to do exactly that. Since the great Khan was blocked away from India from the Himalayas and he was born here, he began completion of the great Khan's oath to the gods, by eating here. From Kashmir to Chettinad style, from Gujju to Bengali food, from hell spiced Andhra style to mild and exotic sweets. And due to globalization he has been able to also eat a variety of foriegn cuisines unknown even to the great Khan.

He is presently in his third year in his B.E. course in the department of telecommunication at MSRIT . His name is Kushal and he also happens to be my best friend.
