The mysterious Indian saree !

I was always baffled by Sarees worn by the ladies of our

house as well as our country. It will be probably true for all

husbands -I mean the husbands of our country at least !

I was watching a TV show and was completely unaware about

what was happening behind me . Later I recognized that I got

involved in an unwanted situation-without knowing or caring

to know. 

My wife was busy near the almirah and she was accompanied

by my brother's daughter ( aged around 23/24 years ) who is

a school teacher. I was remotely aware of their activity though

 too occupied with the TV show  to pay much attention.

The outcome however was probably not very agreeable as I

presumed later.

Saraswati Puja was just ahead and it is always expected that

ladies-specially school teachers-were expected to be present

before their students in sarees.

   Well to come back to the point- yes I probably made a great

mistake unknowingly. I decided to intrude in the much guarded

ladies world of SAREES !

 When I found too much commotion going on at the back-office I

very foolishly decided to end it-with one stroke. I rather casually

asked them to show me the sarees. Within a second I made a

a choice and the sweet lady picked it up and vanished. Finally

I ended the confusion-thought I -and decided to watch the TV

once again.

      Thoughts came rushing back to me after I switched off the

TV  to face the real world !! At least a few thousand questions

constantly pestered me -and I lost my peace of mind !!!

     Oh -how I waited patiently to find out the outcome of this

bizarre situation !

     Finally I was relieved -Relieved in the truest sense of the

word- when the lady showed me few pics of their function.

      After all -my choice was not as bad- thought I -watching

eagerly at the young lady in the picture who simply looked her

best in that Saree !

Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad!

My wife and myself usually spend around five/six months in Hyderabad.Our son, along with his family, has been staying there for quite some time.  We sometime taste the renowned Hyderabadi Biryani. To be very honest we often miss the Kolkata Biryani.  After many years we finally got the taste here too. O Kolkata we found your Biryani here at last!  Today is a Sunday and we were planning to have our lunch outside. Finally we ended up in a restaurant   near Kukatpally with a peculiar name. In fact the very name drew us towards it. Dum Maaro Dum was the name. We casually ordered Biryani knowing it to resemble Kolkata's taste.  We were simply bowled out to find the Biryani's taste as excellent as Kolkata. In fact better in some aspects both in quality and quantity.  At last.. at last.. at last The Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad! They guaranteed that their Hyderabadi Biryani too is good.  Yes we will find it out the next Sunday.

Tara Bhora Akasher Niche. By Srijato !

We usually used to go to bangalore every year to our son.  It was in such a visit -we found our son and daughter-in -law pretty busy with music rehearsal. There were other young guys  too and they looked quite serious.My wife ,of course, got busy cooking some tasty snacks for them.On enquiring we were informed that they would be participating at  BoiTHEK by Ananda Publisher and hence the rehearsal. Finally they participated , enjoyed and came back with 1424 Sharodia Anandabazar Patrika.  It was from that Patrika that I came along Tara Bhora Akasher  Niche by Srijato. Today I finished it and found it quite abstract and interesting . A sort of dreaming experience- I should say !! .
