The Soufflé moment

I was a rat once. I was. You’d think I’ve gone all “Phoebe-ish” but no, one simply does not imitate her. So, I lived a rat’s life (correction: “the” rat’s life). Probably the only rat that has gone down in history as, well just gone down in history I guess. I had Remy’s soul. Now, if you don’t know Remy, he’s a (“the”, if I may) rat who didn’t really belong to the rat clan. He was a chef. He lived to cook, but unfortunately living in the evil world that we do and being a rat, his career options were limited. Well, he just had one option to choose from. Don't expect to read about the “The struggles of a “rat” “. This is about that one moment in my life that I completely, absolutely, awe-freaking-somely lost myself in...

                The Soufflé(notice respect) moment. That scene in the movie where he eats strawberry and cheese at once and closes his eyes to see a different world -yeah that’s where we met. That moment was surreal and serene. I couldn’t feel myself. In all fairness the AC was casting freezing spells on the room’s occupants but this moment was beyond that. I could feel myself floating, well not literally but you get it, right? The moment’s a blur, but there are a few things I remember vividly-there was a grape, a lychee, three pomegranate seeds, a fresh sprig of pudina, and a roll of chocolate shaving. You bite into the grape, take a bit of a pudina leaf and a small part of the chocolate too all with the Soufflé, and there you have it! Your magic moment! Try out different combinations, for there are thirty one of them (do the Math yourself). Every single time you have a different feeling, a feeling that’ll force your wits out to think that that particular scene in the movie, was not CG. If you have the passion for food( I know that sounds ludicrous, but trust me there’s such a thing) and the love and patience for the small yet big things in life, experiencing that moment won’t be that tough. It’s moments like these that I live for – a tiny rain drop on the back of your hand, a random smile from a total stranger( not if the guy looks like a creep, then you’re in danger-RUN AWAY AS FAR AS YOU CAN), a hug from your mom, a free chocolate, Oh free food. These moments give us reason to live; the very cause for our existence.

                I would like to believe that my life has changed since that Soufflé( you’re probably thinking, “I had a cupcake, Oh I’m a different person now; I have found my purpose in life”). Laugh all you want, but that Soufflé changed me( I can imagine how outrageously ridiculous this could sound). Well, when you get something for a hundred bucks, you try and make a big deal out of it.

*Wonders if the Soufflé actually had that profound an effect*
