Yeh dosti..


I am sure I am not only one who goes into moaning from Sunday afternoon, because Monday is just a few hours away.But the last weekend i had was so much fun, in a long time.Friday welcomed, my new and much younger friend to my "new" home.S is bubbly and lot alike me...birds of the same feather flock together.
I was in no mood to display my culinary skills to the best of my abilities and I better not do that, victims of my cooking catasprophies have warned me!So we let our hair down and had "ghar ka khana", chai, topped it with rosgollas.Well, in this foreign land anything remotely resembling rosogollas are a welcome treat so i leave the size, shape, texture and taste to your imagination...
My 3 yr old kiddo A was overwhelmed to see a homosapien, co existing in the same house(apart from 2 of us i.e., we are not apes)!I had a feeling that people ought to have friends same age as them but for sometime now, i have had friends ranging in various ages.Some as old as my mother some a little younger and some 10 years younger than me like S.S taught me some salsa moves too.
There is something about us, Indians.I love the cameraderie, the informality, the joy we derive by sharing things...dissecting mithunda's movies over chai.I have found another friend R.He again is out and out fun and both us beleive in same religion-Mithunism!People with great sense of humour bring out the best in me(best by my standards).Recently we had a get together at my place, I was maybe the hostess but poor R was the chef of the evening!He certainly needs to be applauded for the dexterity with which he served us naan and kadhi-awesome!The very fact that R cooked while the rest of us had fun, I think will be considered rude in most civilized parts of the world, where a dinner would mean a table well laid out with forks & knives placed equidistant from the dish and the radius of the main course dish should be proportional to the radius of the dessert dish in some way.We, on the other hand can eat off each other's dish.If this is uncivilized so be it....everyone involved is happy.
Hope R & S will be more than happy to read this and looking foward to many more such days & evenings that I can remember and pen them down!!!(I am trying to make R happy so that i can taste lots of his "haath ka khana" ).
Jhakkas dosti...apun ki dosti jhakas bole to apun haar tu moti,
apun sabji tu roti, apun pani tu tanki..bura mat manna...apun tarzan tu monkey!Hurrah hurrah hurrah!!!!
