Chakhana vs. Makhana: Ever wonder where snacks are gone??

Caution: Once again I am herewith light hearted read which bears no resemblance with anybody living or dead and it’s not based on true stories. But if you part of any community mentioned below please understand our pain :-)

If you are festivity lover or loved to be called as Party Animal then you must be aware of both these people Chakhana and Makhana. But I think they aren’t individuals they are a community which exists ever since the word party and celebrations.

You ever wonder while you are taking sip and you move your hand inside wrapper then instead of smoothly picking up chips and automatically moving towards your mouth your fingers starts searching something inside. Correct there is nothing inside, all the chips (or snacks) are gone. Just take a look around, there will be one who either typing SMS on his mobile or enjoying TV yes he is the one. He is the one who is part of Chakhana community they don’t drink but love to enjoy party specifically snacks. You may have an excuse for a party but Chakhana’s never, reason is straight forward they don’t have to invest money and we never ask them because amount of money we fritter on snacks is NIL comparable to what we endow in soft or hard drinks. So ethically Chakhana’s are not asked to contribute but they are invited as they are part of your esteemed friends group. Even though amount invested on snacks is comparably less but its Chakhana only who provide value to it. Remember rule of life, you value things only which you don’t have so when the snacks are over before the drink is they become invaluable.

Another community which is highly ignored but is crueler than Chakhana is Makhana they are non-vegetarians enjoying party but equally amount of love rests with vegetarian dishes. They are aware that you (vegetarian) are dare to touch non-vegetarian dishes so they bestow all their love first to vegetarian dishes but they will never order or never call waiter. You are the one at receiving end of waiter’s scaring eyes (Kitana Khayega?, Bhooka Paida Hua Thaa Kya?, Unlimited Ka Poora Anand Le Raha Hai Grrrr…) if you are enjoying at unlimited snacks table.

If you wanted to enjoy you party to fullest and have less surprises here are some tricks are tips:

* Make Chakhana’s part of the contribution group and have separate drinks and snacks bills.
* Have separate tables for vegetarians to save them from Makhana (remember Makhana never order’s vegetarian dishes)

Bol Bachan:

What ever may be the reason don’t argue with Chakhana’s as they are the one who aren’t drunk and drive you home. Enjoying party as Chakhana has more fun than otherwise so why don’t we quit drinking and start enjoying party as Chakhana. Note it down folks it’s real fun and ecstasy…

I can’t recommend being a Makhana to a vegetarian for greater fun but you need to be aware of this community and make sure you have secured your share of snacks before they are waiting for morning freedom in Makhana’s stomach…
