Glass full of Milk...

"1 Litre Milk plz!"
"Vidyaaaa ,Drink Milk ,its getting cold!!!!
"I want cold milk!"
"I don't want the cream on top of the milk!"
"Milk is spoilt !"
"Drinking Milk everyday will make you strong like Superman "
"If you drink Milk everyday you will become fair !"
"Cat drank all the Milk !!"
"I loveeeee chocolate Milk shake !"
"Mummmy Doodhwala aaa gaya !"
"Milk is so watery,i wonder whether they add water in Milk or Milk in Water!"

Milk - A word which becomes a familiar word from the time we are born.
Fresh Milk when boiled and drink is really tasty. It comes in so many forms butter ,cream ,curds , cheese and most favorite ICE CREAM ;o) !!!
I remember mom used to take milk in steel vessels from Milk man who used to come in his cycle with aluminuim cans of Milk hanging on his cycle . He used to Pour the Milk using a container with handle through the Filter. Now a days we get milk in Packets ,Nandhini , Mother Dairy , Amul etc ,etc . You get Full cream milk ,Half cream milk and what not. In other countries you get milk which we don't even need to boil ,you can directly drink for the cartons .Then there are long life milk which can be kept for months (unopened) , skimmed milk ( for people who are fat concious) .

I used to love the doodh doodh ad on TV .

Doodh doodh doodh doodh
Doodh hai wonderful ,pee sakthe hain roz glass full
Doodh doodh doodh doodh
Thandi me daalo doodh me ice
Doodh ban gaya very nice
Piyo daily once or twice
Mil jaayega tasty surprize

Doodh hai masti in every sesason
Piyo doodh for healthy reason
Rahoge phir fit and fine ,jeeyoge past ninenty nine
Doodh doodh doodh doodh.


At my uncle's house warming ceremony ,as per the tradition the milk was being boiled on the stove and all of us were waiting for it to spill and just when it was about to spill one of my cousin's switched off the gas and scolded all of us saying "What are you all looking at the milk spilling ,why don't you switched it off" ..within a fraction of a second everyone starts scolding him back and laughing simultaneously. He stood next to me embarassed :o( !!! We still pull his legs remembering that incident !

Mom Dad plan to settle at Puttur ,Karnataka (a village ), where we have build our own house , next year.I plan to gift a COW to mom on her birthday this year , she has also agreed .

Its a long time i have had a chilled glass of Milk , i am going to do that today :o) !!!

Summer is here....

Summer is here and the first thing which comes to my mind apart from the terrible heat is MANGOES ,The King of fruits. Those green Mangoes in different shapes and sizes makes my mouth water.Even as i write this post my mouth is watering. Mangoes always take me to my childhood days . We all would be lazing around and Granny wud come and tell , "why don't you people go to the 'Thota' " (similar to estate with variety of trees,most prominent would be coconut and arecnut) and pluck some mangoes. The whole gang of our cousins used to go to pluck mangoes geared with Knife ,Salt +Chilli+oil and a big stick . The sun would be shining on us ,still we wouldn't mind .We would walk on behind the other , cracking jokes and pulling each others legs. After reaching the Mango tree ,it would be difficult to decide which mango to aim for. Some of us would usually climb the mango tree (includes me too) and some even fell down from the Mango tree (Which we usually hide from the elders otherwise we would get scolding). Finally after lot of aiming ,stone throwing , 2-3 mangoes would be pluck. Someone (usually a girl) would cut the mango is abrupt peices and put it on the Banana leaf or newspaper and within minutes the mango pieces would be finished . Whoever had the seed of the Mango would do full justice to it by biting every inch possible and then he would call some random name and if the person responds ,the person with the mango seed would say "Go with the Mango seed" and throw the mango seed and everyone would have a good laughter. On the way we would eat other fruits also like Guavava ,sugarcane etc ,etc .
Mangoes in any form is tasty ,whether it is raw , ripe or in the form of pickles. Whenever i go to granny's house my granny would always tell me to learn to put pickles and then she would tell how much pickles she used to put when she was fit and healthy . In another two weeks i am off to my granny's house with full family :o) ! I won't get to meet all my cousins as everyone is in a different place and busy with their work or studies but still i get to pluck Mangoes and climb on Mango trees :o) and stilll a chance to learn to put pickles!!!

Somebody else recognizes you and talks to you ... you recognize that person, but don't remember the name ..you even forget how do you know him.. Mind is blank and trying to get gather bits and peices of information during the course of conversation..You have this stupidest expression on your face and the don't-ask-me-your-name fear ..The connection is being formed in your brain..
But the main link is still the missing ...THE NAME ..And luckily enough he ends the conversation and i am saved .. Aha... now i remember he is from my old company..same team ...but then whats the person's name yaaar !!! Now I sit and break my head to recollect his name and write this post...

P.S : I hope he doesn't read it ...
