Yesterday I heard from my colleague that my supervisor is inviting us to a BBQ party. I told him that I have not yet heard anything like that from the supervisor. And after a few minutes I went to see him, and lo here is the surprise (well truly speaking it was partial surprise, as I was already aware of the news).
Prof: “Listen, I am having a BBQ party tomorrow and want to invite you.”
I smiled a bit and posed an inquisitive look. he continued, ” Now, you are a vegetarian, so what can I do for you.” I felt a bit uncomfortable, as I did not know what to reply and ask him what to do for me, as he is my supervisor.
Me: “Well, I don’t eat meat.”
Prof: “yes, thats why I am asking what can I do for you. Do you eat onions”
Me: “Yessssss … “. I spoke a stretched a yes as truly speaking I don’ t eat onions either, but given that the party was being arranged by my prof, thus I did not want to give him much trouble in arranging the food for me.
Prof: ” ok then I will arrange some vegetables”
I was glad to hear that. But I did felt a bit uncomfortable partially because I felt that I would be the only veg guy at the party, where every other person would be roasting pork or beef and partially I felt that I have to ask my prof to arrange food for me.
Anyway lets see what happens. Today is the party. I am eager to see the Italian Family life style.
