The Morsel Song - I

How do you define a great meal? For me, its just the food (it might be as simplistic as Thecha-Bhaakar or Daal-Roti ) in the company of special people with some cool music going on around. moreover, if the food is home made, then sone pe suhaga!

Imagine a Sunday afternoon. You are alone at your home. The rain has just paved the way for the juvenile sun-rays. You hadn't had a breakfast and the hunger has unabashedly started doing funny things inside your stomach. But you still don't feel like going out alone. And then out of the blue one of your friends calls you for lunch at his/her home. The first morsel there brings a million dollar smile on your face. And your heart quenches with every burst of the laughter baloons!

Fortunately I've got a lot of friends here to take care of that smile I'd have desperately vied for otherwise. Infact i've been lucky about it all my life. Even during the college I never needed to go to the conventional Mess. I'm indebted till life to Nistane Kaku for that. Then again there were Bahadekars, Umales and Dhawles. And it was always a multiple bonanza...great food with lots of love.


And then, at my home (Akola)...The mere thought of the aroma of that Mutton-gravy or Ukadpendhi has already started tickling me...well, no I don't want to tread into that memory lane - atleast not now - it becomes so very difficult to come back.

Yesterday I had gone to the birthday party of SarangDa's daughter (he had clubbed it together with Ganapati-Visarjan). It proved to be a wonderful evening.
Gajar ka Halwa was as good as a Hindi film Hero gets from his mom :) (Well I'd never know what's so special abt that, but this one was really amazing) . Morever, got to meet lots of old friends there.

i remain.

firstly, i liked the title a lot - and food is one of moi fav. topics too. i like to let my mouth do the talking on that one :).
grammatically, i felt unabashedly was out-of-place but
i like the feel generated by 'burst of laughter balloons'. superb!
and, yes, get someone to share lunch soon :).
i think u met my friend Nikhil Koranne once right? he is quite close to your office - why not meet up once?
niksss_2000@yahoo.com
or maybe i will put in a word.

cheerio,
