Tandoor and the Knife!

'Never catch a falling knife' they said!

But they never warned against hastily putting hand inside the Tandoor (Indian clay oven fired with charcoal)

Long after the chapattis (North Indian bread) have been baked in the tandoor

long after the fresh fuel is abandoned

the Tandoor remains hot inside!

Red hot!

Simmering smokeless ambers deceptively cold but fully alive inside!

Just like a Tandoor can maintain high cooking temperature for long periods, a bull run can remain simmering for extended periods!

A Tandoor, traditionally, is left to cool-off overnight before the ash is removed.

A bull trend should be allowed to cool-off before putting hands into it!
