Never Imagined …

During the last 25 years, 8 months and 14 days I never imagined that I would wake up on a Monday, get ready for work and cook my own lunch. All you folks out there, who think cooking is simple, trust me it is definitely NOT!!!

All I did today was use the rice cooker to cook rice and mix puliyodharai to it. Later, I realized that there was little curd left at home, which was bought from a near by shop and mixed it too. My lunch is now prepared and ready to be eaten in few hours from now. Sounds very simple isn’t it? Phew .. experience it and get back to me if you haven’t done it already.

Over the weekend, my friends at home did cook lunch (especially Ashwin the genius) and I helped them. It is a little easy when you have ppl around and you help them to cook. Conversely, if you have to do it all by yourself, then all the very best (Y).

Henceforth, I guess I will never be able to cook all alone (I have experienced enough already). However, I cannot really afford to spend 200 Rs everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, the plan is to help my friends with dinner, cook a little extra and have it for lunch the next day.

I cannot end this blog without mentioning about all you ppl (men / woman) who cook for yourself and your beloved one’s – no words, no gifts, no nothing can express my gratitude.

PS: If you are wondering how I managed my banquet over the last few years – well we had subsidized lunch and dinner at work (13 Rs a meal) which is now withdrawn.
