Chak Can Cook

The sun was blistering and high in the South Asian sky, when Jhinuk Veeravaghu first met her husband at her arranged wedding back in 1998. Her first sight of Chakradhar was in his off-white kurta made of fine silk, and his delicate smile shone like a bronzed Shiva statue glistening after a morning dew. His jet black hair, cold dead eyes and muscular hairless arms were almost overwhelming for Jhinuk, who instantly fell in love with this successful surgeon and courageous deity, along with his ideals of raising a family on the great continent of North America.

Unfortunately for the whole family, Chakradhar's medical degree is meaningless in Canada. Being the resourceful scholar he is though, Chak has become a different sort of surgeon in his new home - although he is not officially a "doctor", his work grilling hamburgers and spreading condiments has enabled him to provide Jhinuk and their three sons a gorgeous basement apartment very close to the local community college.
