The Best Oven - Part 4 – By Akshaj Banik

The workers were very good and neat. I went to my new shop at the shopping mall. I was surprised to see a queue of people in front of my shop. There was a customer with a big order. He asked me, 'What varieties do you have?’ I said, 'Muffins, cakes for birthdays and parties, pastries and sandwiches.’    He said to me, 'I want everything!'   I told him the total amount. It was $249. He said, '$230'. I said 'Ok!’ It was a great income. I then went to my old shop. I saw that everything had finished. The income there was $197. It was a great day. That day I was very happy!

The Best Oven - Part 3 - By Akshaj Banik

The thing I was sad about was that I had to close my shop yesterday. But today I successfully opened it. It made an income of $117 but at the end of the day I met a very rude customer. He gave me $7 instead of $12.   The robotic security hit him with his hand but still it was great business. I then thought of expanding my business. I opened one more shop in a shopping mall so that I could generate more income. I needed two more employees. Now I have more employees. I give them $90 per month and an advance of $30.

The Best Oven - Part 2 - By Akshaj Banik

It seems that I had a lot of income yesterday. I should keep a security guard. One of my friends was saying that security guards can be robots too. I too have thought of keeping a robotic security guard. I bought 1 worth $149. It was very good. It was a good guard but when I opened my shop, I saw thousands of ants. I called the pest control and had to close the shop!!!!!!!!! I went to a shopping mall near my shop when I suddenly met one of my friends, Harry Singh. He was going to see a film in a theater. I too watched the film with him. It was very funny but encouraging.   We went to the top of the mall and to the food court. We talked for a while then went home.

The Best Oven - By Akshaj Banik

'The best oven' is the name of my shop but I never had a best oven, instead I have lots of old collections of them. There was a rumor in the city that it was the 'best bakery'. My first customer's name was frank. He was one of my best friends in school but had left after a few days. He asked me, “How many variations of cake do you have?” I replied, “Which variety do you want? He said, “A birthday cake for my mother.” I asked, “When is it? He said, “Day after tomorrow”. So I said, “I will deliver the cake”. I gave him a book and asked him to see different cake designs. He chose a cake with three candles on it.   The cost was $19.   He gave me a $5 advance. The next day when I was on my way to give the cake to him, I thought of how lucky I am for it was my first income.   I successfully delivered the cake but instead of paying me $14, he gave me $20.   I closed my shop for the day and went home. The next day when I went to open the shop, I saw a li...

Water Please! - By Ryan Banerjee

This is a true story.   This occurred when my grandfather was small. One day my grandfather went to a place with his friends. There was a house there. No one lived there. He said to the guard, “Why is that apartment closed?” The guard said “Ok um..... Yeah. So many years ago this place was a desert. There was a war going on. Due to shortage of water many soldiers died.   That particular night the soldiers who were still alive were talking among themselves when all of a sudden the windows opened one by one and hands started reaching out. The hand were very dry. The flesh had come out of the hands and on the flesh were written these words … ‘ Jai Hind Sir! Pani do’. ” This means that they begged for water and to this day my grandfather remembers this story.

That’s Not My Kid - By Ryan Banerjee

Once upon a time there lived a family. It was a nuclear family. One night the mom woke up at 12 midnight. She saw a scary looking kid in front of her. It looked like her child, Ruby. She looked frightened and said “Mommy I am not well.” The mom understood it was not her child and said “What happened? You are not my child.”   The mom wanted to wake up her husband, Tom but was so frightened that she could not even touch him. She screamed and her husband woke up and turned on the lights. Tom said “You should not wake up someone in that manner. You have woken Ruby too.” The mom replied “It is not Ruby whom I saw at midnight.” “Midnight??? What do you mean?, said Tom.   “Your brain surgery is making you think like this.” “Oh yes...... I think so too”, she replied.   The next night Tom said that he was going to leave Ruby at her grandmother’s house. The mom said that she was fine with that. That night she again saw her kid saying, “Mommy i am not feeling well”. Th...

Just A Video Game - By Ryan Banerjee

One day a dad went up to his child and told him that he would narrate a scary story to him   but the child refused but his dad convinced him and started narrating a story. He said, “This story is about a child, named William, who played a lot of video games. Most of the time he plays a game named ‘Granny’. It is a horror game. The child said, “But I play that game. I love it.” The dad replied, “Let me complete the story first. He continued… “On the day William’s brother was born, he was very happy. He started playing online games with his friends. While playing, someone sent him a message in the game chat. It was written – ‘Hi!   You play very well.   Tell me your address.’ William replied – Ok. Let me give it to you. He gave his address to this person. The child shouted, “No he shouldn’t have done that. The dad replied by saying “Yes!” He continued… “William realized that what he had done was wrong. That night he told this to his parents. They were upset ...

My Own Grand Omelet - By Akshaj Banik

One day my mother and father was not at home and I was alone with my sister when I started feeling very hungry.   My sister did not know how to cook and I could but there was nothing much at home to eat. There was only an egg, oil and some vegetables. So I thought of making an omelet.   So in a bowl, I broke an egg, added salt, turmeric powder, and some chopped vegetables which I had chopped and mixed everything with a whisk.   Then I put the pan in the induction oven. I waited for the pan to get warm and then added some cooking oil and made the omelet. Once the omelet was on the plate and ready to eat, it lacked something. I remembered that I had some tomato sauce and some mayonnaise. So my sister and I enjoyed it.
