If there’s one thing that binds the Bawaji universe tighter than colony gossip, free lagan-nu-bhonu and complaining about parking, it’s our collective and incurable Eedu Obsession. And what better time to celebrate it than World Egg Day on 10th October, 2025! Eggs are not just breakfast – they’re therapy, religion and the solution to every life problem from heartbreak to hangover. Eedu is our sixth element, after Fire, Water, Air, Earth, our uncalled-for Sense of Entitlement… and Eedu!

There’s no vegetable too vile, no dish too depressing that can’t be saved by a good eedu. If it exists, we’ll break an egg on it – bheedo, bhaji, kera, karela, tamotu, kheema, chips and even eedu itself! So, how deep does your yolk devotion run?

RESULTS:
Mostly A’s – You are ‘Basic Behram – The Half-Boiled Beginner: Tsk tsk, dikra. You like eedu, sure, but you treat it like an accessory instead of the main character it is. You still think eggs are a ‘breakfast thing’ – amateur hour! You’re the type who eats egg sandwiches and thinks that’s adventurous! Time to up your yolk game and earn your Parsi badge of honour!
Mostly B’s – You are ‘Egg-cellent Edulji – The Sunny Side Superstar’: You, my friend, have yolk flowing through your veins. You don’t just eat eggs, you celebrate them. You know your akuri from your bharuchi akuri. Your fridge always has at least two dozen eeda and you’re the authority on the perfect tasting akuri. You’re just one step away from culinary immortality.
Mostly C’s – You are the ‘High Priest of Half-Fry – Emperor of Eedu-Verse!’: Congratulations! You are the living embodiment of Parsi passion for eedu – the Grand Mobed of the Eedu-verse. You’ve probably tried eedu on things science hasn’t approved of yet. Your blood type? Sunny Side Up. Your Wi-Fi password? AkuriPoro. And if anyone dares say “I don’t like eggs,” you don’t argue, you perform a full-fledged akuri-exorcism to save their sorry souls!

CONCLUSION
Whether you’re a Basic Behram, Egg-cellent Edulji, or the High Priest of Half-Fry, one thing is clear – in a world full of kale smoothies and chia puddings, Parsis remain gloriously, unapologetically devoted to our beloved Eedu. It’s the great equalizer – uniting the rich and the broke, the modern and the traditional, the bhonu-loving uncle and the keto-pretending niece. So, crack on and celebrate World Egg Day with the reverence it deserves – preferably by putting eedu on something outrageous! Here’s to us – the proud Eedu Addicts of the world. May our eggs always be runny, our pora always fluffy and our tamota always waiting patiently and lovingly beneath that perfect yolk! And remember… if life gives you lemons… break an egg on them!
