Garama Garam Roti

If you are from an Indian middle class family and your mom is a home maker and you have had one or two servants for household work but no one specifically for cooking and finally you have done most of your schooling staying at home, there is a high probability that you have had been served garama garam roti on your plate in your yesteryears!

I remember, when I was a kid, when me and my siblings would come home from school, mom used to prepare chapatti and serve it hot. And that habit has not gone all this while. Whenever I get a chance, I prefer the same.

So here at NID also, thanks to Madan Bhai, that everytime I want hot chapatti, he would make sure that I get it (lucky me!!! :-)) and because of this habit of mine, he knows that I would ask for it. But today when I was having lunch alone, I observed, it’s not me alone who does it but there are many other in the campus who like to have it all the time.

And this made me ponder that, our generation is lucky enough to have lived this life. With the coming generation, where every one is so super busy, I am doubtful, if they would have such kind of memories to cherish!!!

And yes, Garam Roti with Ghee served on your plate, is indeed a food for happy tummy. :-)

Forever, forever and ever

The evening when dad called on the much awaited number

Here I was in a much needed deep slumber

They discussed, they laughed and they talked about us

we were here enjoying our daily life without any fuss.

They decided a date so that they could meet

We got to know and we decided to greet

And alas! the D - day approached,

We sat in front of them with me wearing a beautiful broach

They saw us and we saw them,

They asked us thousand questions and we felt we got short of vitamin M.

Finally, they arrived at a conclusion,

We were given the green signal with a red ribbon!

We danced, we laughed, we hugged, we shared

Suddenly, life seemed much more beautiful and fully flared.

He took my dad's permission to take me on a ride,

We went out and drove crazily on a long road wide.

The other day he called me and asked me for dinner

I said yes and wore the most elegant dress with a slight shimmer

He took me in and pulled the chair

I felt the time stood still where we were.

He covered my eyes, lit the candles,

Music on, wine served, and in anticipation, i rubbed my ankles.

He sat on his knees and took the diamond ring out,

and uttered the long lasting words that knocked me out

O' my darling, will you marry me and live with me forever,

A tear rolled down by my eyes and I said, Yes my love,

forever, forever and ever!

Change is constant.

They say that, 'Change is the only constant thing in this world.' I wrote my last post in 2009 and here comes 2011 and change is inevitable. A lot has changed all this while, for good , ofcourse. :)
I shall be more active on this forum or rather I should put it in this way, I shall 'try' to be more active on this forum. :D

Will post something interesting in the coming days. Till then, Ciao! :)
