Om puri’s Logic
Unlike any usual day, I was reading the paper this morning and came across an article about some listed actors who left an impression after their movies and there is this part explaining what Om puri did when he was in Russia. Here is the compiled article from the paper
Puri had just finished a day’s tour of Riga, a beautiful but freezing Baltic regions in the USSR and was feeling hungry. He and his translator checked out a few stores most food products were sold out (as Russia was also going through a food shortage then). Finally, they zeroed on to a small deli, where the only savouries available were some beef patties.
Puri, who has never eaten beef, but who was famished decided to put aside all religious protocol and polished off a few patties. After he devoured them, Torchinsky, his Russian translator smiled gleefuly and said, “Look, you said you have never eaten beef but you ate. Ha ha ha which means you’ve broken your religious rule.” For a moment Puri looked glum and suddenly he brightened up. “Not quite,” he said.
“How come?” Torchinsky asked surprised.
“It was the beef of a Russian cow, not an Indian cow.”
