Big hearted Ready-to-eat ITC Kitchens of India

Odriew Restaurant – the one with a big heart

On one of those hot and sunny days, when the management and ITC Kitchens of India were playing their pranks, two young urchins peered through the fine glass windows to see what the guests were having. They hadn’t eaten for a while now, eating what they found in dustbins and leftovers.

The manager sees them and beckons them to come through the rear door.

The urchins, thinking they were going to be suitably chastised, beat a swift retreat.

What then ensues is a chor-police game with the waiters and the urchins, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Hee haw!)

After a lengthy cat and mouse game, the huffing marathoners catch up with the boys and explain that there is a surprise in store for them and would they not run anymore?

Big eyes peer into the kitchen with years of pain writ all over their faces as the chef gives them a bit of food and tells the still unconvinced boys to go ahead and eat.

The boys eat as if it was their first ever meal and beat a hasty retreat, lest the chef engage them in some unsavory work.

The management and ITC Kitchens of India pat the employees for a good day’s work as the staff sit down to a quiet meal of some of the food, cooked in honor, and for, the guests.

Goes to show that atithi seva begins at home, doesn’t it? (Wink, wink)
