Monday morning taste bud assault

It's Monday morning, breakfast time. I'm in my office at work, wiping my watering eyes and runny nose trying to compose emails. There's an inferno in my mouth, moving its way down to my belly, and my taste buds are firing on all cylinders. Extremes from all sides. I'm eating an intensely spicy, tangy chana masala rolled up in fluffy flour tortillas with paper thin slices of onion and mango pickle. Wowzas! The current state of my tongue makes my instant coffee taste like chocolate. And that's a good thing.
