Celebrating functions is one thing which adds on closeness between relationships. We all went through the similar patterns of life like running behind various festival works, collect festival groceries etc. It’s something we all enjoy. On a related note I fondly remember one great cherubic instance prevails in my heart.
When ever any big time Murukku kind of oil chit-chat preparation my mom used to keep one full tumbler of water next to the gas stove. No body should touch it till the products are getting into our traditional vessel – sambaDam. As I grow my curiosity to drink that water, try to take it is increased. Suspense part is no one know the secret “why the tumbler full of water kept next to the gas stove. “. One fine day my sweet torture on her got me the sweetest answer in the world.
She started talking to Murukku Mavu in a manner
“Murukku mavau Murukku mavau nee thani ellam kudichukka aana oil mattum kudikathey ”
I am mesmerized with that answer. If you have very good understanding about cookery practice and love that job then only you can talk like that. It’s like how guys talk to their bike or what so ever. It’s so amazing to have a heart like that. Any ways over a period of time she moved of out that nascent track is another side of story.

Over to present –
After a sweet rumbling debate we got our deepavali potpourri items. I am thrilled to see My She doing Murukku @ mid-night 12.00am with

• An on-call support,
• Having tons of recipe websites opened,
• Working out the ratio in converting X gram of rice floor vs. Y gram of some other thing to percentage ratio.
• On top she runs a simple chemical lab in kitchen. It has all quantities of spoons, cups, karaindies etc and with that she comes up with very secret ratio of food products

Our deepavali potpourris are

• Murukku
• Oomapodi with-out Oomam
• Gulab jamun
• 7 Cups
• Almond Halwa

okies comming to the title.
I am gonna suggest instead of oomam use cinnamon for a change. Its called Cinnamon podi:) Buzz you all if CinnamonPodi turns good.

Until then “Wish you a very happy & safe deepavali “.

Capture chennai in 60 seconds. 3.11pm(here)

“Chennapatnam, one hundred and eighty one square kilometers huge, four point three four million people rich, ever wondered what goes on in this vast expanse of heat and humidity at every second, every minute and every hour of every day. From Mahabalipuram to Maraimalainagar, extending all the way to Chengalpet, imagine all the various things that could be going on at any one instant. One small attempt to forever capture one instant of this metropolitan is ‘03:11 PM’”
