Two Plates define the tiring, tedious and full of hardships but interesting life of a roadside eatery owner, Baban Bhai. Selling buttered toast and other regular snacks with his little brother Chaman, he ekes out a living. Favoured by the regular office goers and students alike, he has a steady income. But one day, Baban and Chaman's life takes a different turn. Troubled by poverty and lack of money, they are approached by a kind and helpful man who promises to provide them with better options. Seeming safe and trustworthy, the brothers consider him as their friend and confidante. Money and good fortune never last long, they say. God provides but your actions nullify the positive outcomes. Hawking seemed burdensome and unwanted, but was the stranger truly so good as he seemed externally? Or was there a bigger game behind his assurances? Was lady luck truly getting ready to smile on Baban and Chaman, or were they being led into a pit? Will they be able to earn loads of money? Will their eatery truly turn into a okcafe? Was the idea of serving 300 customers per day finally taking its roots? Only time would tell us that. A noteworthy and soul stirring journey of two honest, innocent and hard working brothers. This tale relates the true meaning of "Two Plates."- Reads 2

It began as a stand-alone story about an assassin writing a self-help book to respond to the March first prompt "List". But I was having trouble making it work. Then my muse, my wife, showed me how to fix it. But I still liked the title. I apologise for any confusion this may engender.+10 more- Reads 222
