Well...finally the lazy, non-creative, unimaginative me is writing again..After all Sindhu just said: will chk the blog tmrw and thr better b a write up!!!!
This time I plan to write about ...ummm..COOKING & FOOD!!!
Cooking always used to be fun when I had an option to eat out often (till in India) and while in mumbai i exercised that option almost everyday...But with moving here it has become a necessity, not a hobby anymore...Kind of compulsion for a veggi in the land of beef n pork and all sort of "unidentified" meats.
Today while at discussion at dinner at a friend's (actually colleague) place we talked about all kinds of meats and sausages just after a lovely Indian food of chane, poori, sabzi n shrikhand. All of us were sharing our experiences during lunch with dutch colleagues and we realized that most of the times dutch people classify their food as "Unidentified" as they really don't care which animal/insect they are eating!!! And we always thought human being have the most polished and developed eating habits!!!!
But yes definitely Indians have a great cuisine: We can talk about a variety of food from kashmiri wazwan to Kerala Banana dishes (Correct me if that is not the typical kerala dish)..Not to mention about chettinad, bengali, rajasthani, punjabi, gujju and etc etc type of cuisines. Every cuisine has so many dishes and we can talk for hours about the intricacies of all these dishes . Food is really something where we lead the world and I feel so good to talk about it in front of our dutch colleagues. Though it is really disgusting when they classify our "rotis" as "pancakes" even after telling them multiple time that it is "ROTI".
Now I close this random flow of thoughts with the realization that tomorrow we've 2 families at our place for dinner. And first time I am going to try "Chhola-Bhatura"... [D]...
BTW happy republic day guys!!!

Good one, Kriti. Many a time, even I keep thinking about the elaborate cuisines that we Indians inherit. And it is such a wonder to see so may different types on a menu card in a multi cusine restaurant. You can find anything-spicy, bland, sweet, sour..anything that suits your palate:)
Keep writing more such interesting posts:)
