In response to one-word prompt : Magnet
I’m not too happy when the house flies come out of nowhere, when I fry fish. They act like a magnet circling around my frying pan.
When I was in Lahore, I smelled someone frying fish, I followed the aroma and found a man frying fish by the side of a road. I saw the same kind of house flies circling around him. I told him, ‘I do not like the flies above you.’
He smiled and replied, ‘these are nothing, only a few, if you want to eat my fish fry you must ignore them.’
I realized if I want to eat fried fish, I’d have to pretend, there are no flies!
