Just Google it!
'I think it's called bottle gourd' said the husband non-chalantly. 'No! Lauki is called bottle gourd not Turai ' I exclaim, twisting the cloth in my hand as I try to think hard, in the middle of a squabble with the husband about the English name of the vegetable - Turai . The word is right there on the tip of my tongue, but is not coming to me. It has to be some kind of gourd - but which? I wish I could google it ; And for the hundredth time, I pick up my phone and see the no network/service sign. We are in the interior part of the country side with little to no signal. And as I try to plug my phone to the charger, I wonder for probably the first time, whether it is a good idea. A feeling of frustration starts creeping up inside me. When did I start depending so much on Google that not having internet for one weekend is making me feel helpless. Hasn't Google become synonymous to internet? We hear people casually saying why don't you just Google it...
