It has been raining in Chandigarh since morning. Being a so-so earning guy I am not in a position to get hold of a Merc SL car. I will prefer Tata Safari though. There is no vehicle that attacts me more than a Tata Safari. So I was holed in my room. Sumit with me. Hitting keyboard @35wpm and trying to pass our time so that rain stops and Sumit may leave for his place and me for dinner. My landlord called me, “Chetan, come downstairs. Dinner is ready.”
Me 
They again repeated and this time they asked to bring sumit also.
Sumit suddenly jumped from his seat, “Man, I am leaving. My dinner is ready at my place. Vicky must be waiting.” Vicky his roommate.
But my landlords were determined. They forced both of us to sit around a dinner table and have dinner.
I felt like being at home. The same taste of cooked food. No spices. Simple. Full of desi ghee, clarified butter. Sumit said, “Yaar, mom forces me to eat ghee when am at home.”
My landlady, a 60+ lady, asked me with a scolding tone, “Why don’t you ask me for dinner? Even you don’t ask me for tea. What is your problem?”
This wasn’t enough, her husband joined her, “Son, dont feel like you are away from home.”
Suddenly, I was again at home. I can provide n number of stupid excuses but at that time I was speechless. Not a word came out. I was just trying to escape the situation.
My mom dad are like my landlords. I don’t remember how many people have eaten at our place. My parents always treated a guest as god. True to Indian saying.
Atithi devo bhava : A guest is like GOD.
My parents call this Sanskaar or good values.
