Now I know that you need to cut down large sized potatoes into smaller pieces before dumping them inside a cooker for boiling, or else, only the periphery softens while the core still remains hard. Now I also know that you cannot cook daal without turmeric powder. Since the past two days, I haven’t been eating outside. Yes, there is nothing much in life these days besides cooking (or rather, learning to cook), working out and going to rehearsals.
I get bored otherwise, feel lonely, think about her, wait for Tiwari to come back, sleep a lot, and check my mail every alternate day, mostly to find out when is my project viva. Without net in my flat, I have plenty of time with myself. Plenty of time, that I love wasting away. Except when I am cooking or eating may be.
Day before yesterday, I ate so much and so fast that yesterday when I got up, my tummy’s diameter had almost doubled. It was the gas. Soon loose motions began. On a regular day in IIT, I would have gone empty stomach. Yesterday, I quickly got myself pills, got rid of the acidity and stomach-upset, then cooked more food and ate. LOL! What has happened to me?
I like Reliance Fresh. I like weighing my vegetables myself. I like the idea of picking up kitchen stuff just as one would pick clothes from Pantaloons. It so gives me my own space. And what a relief it is, not to try to bargain. Since I can speak Tamil only as good as a fish can speak any human language, I love the kind of shopping that needs the least of my vocal muscles to flex. Yes, Reliance Fresh works out for me like hell. Hell, they even got eggs! 🙂
I guess I am hungry again. And I guess I am bored with potatoes and eggs. Let me go buy some new veg. Take care of your health friends. Adios.
