Gandhari malu!

All was well when I went for a walk with grandma’s maid. She offered me tiny red chili (Gandhari malu) which grandma uses in her chutney. She asked me to bite into it. Little did I know she had ulterior motives!! I naively ate it. That's when all hell broke loose!!

Soon I was prancing and dancing around the house. My mouth was on fire. I rubbed my eyes and my eyes began to sting. I drank 6 glasses water and ate 10 spoons of sugar. I rinsed my face with bucketful of water. Even then the tingling sensation remained for almost an hour.

I have developed chili phobia after the incident…
