Introduction – Angad

“Papa, I don’t want to pray. I want to stay at home with mama.” Angad screamed behind his father while holding his hands.

“That is not your choice anymore. You’re a Punjabi, you are a Sikh, without God we are nothing.”

“But mama is making Jalebi (traditional sweet dish) and I want to see it.” Angad said.

“I’ll tell you what, today evening I’ll take you to our Restuarant and you can see the chef cooking amazing chicken recipes.”

“But I don’t want to see it getting killed. I don’t want to.” Angad let go of his father’s hand and ran back home.

“Ma, how many times I’ve to tell you and papa, I don’t want to be a part of the business.”

“‘I know you hate it at the Restuarant but that is our family business. Harpreet’s son studied with you and he had many offers from other big hotels to be a chef. But what did he do? He declined them all and chose to be a part of his father’s business. Papa and I wouldn’t have expected you to join the businesss if you had received some offer through college. But..”

“Ma, like I told you before, in Auckland it is difficult to get a job for Pastry chef.”

“Okay, then start working at our Restuarant and learn something.”

“Mom! I’m a pastry chef, I need to have experience making desserts and NOT charcoal grilled chicken or lamb. Can you please talk to dad and tell him my plan?”

“But..”

“Okay, if you are not going to help me, then I’ll speak to him. But you know what is going to happen then.”

He was one of the few Indians who came to New Zealand and became a successful entrepreneur. You know how he did it Angad? Perseverance and hard work. And if you try and join our Restuarant…”

“Dad come on, we talked about this. Now I even got an offer for a job..”

“As a pastry chef! Your mom can even be one.”

“You know dad, I’m leaving now so let’s not talk till we reach the airport.”

As Angad sat near the trash dumpster behind the hotel’s kitchen, he thought of the things his father told him on the phone yesterday. He felt like he had everything he needs but someone in his head is always telling him that he is being a rebel.

“What is so wrong in being a rebel bro? Blake said.

“My father isn’t completely wrong here, I’m an assistant to a pastry chef. I lied to my parents so that I can come here and work and now they are expecting me to just quit and go back to Auckland. There is nobody to tell me to follow my dreams. Nobody.”

“No worries bro, just give it some time.” Blake patted him on his back and went back into the kitchen.

“Or I’ll just leave Wellington for good.” Murmured Angad as he got up to tie his apron back.
