Food and Troubleshoot
Have you ever wondered how most of the arguments get settled?
How a bunch of middle-aged people argue about politics but all of a sudden the tension in the room vanishes?
How both teams of a game come together though one of them loses a match ( yes,I am dumb I googled if it's lose or loose)
To get there , firstly listen to this…the other day my mom and I got into a huge argument but ended up discussing how Deepika Padukone's Epigamia chocolate spread was one of the flop shows of her career and how the number 65 in paneer 65 doesn't mean 65 ingredients in the dish.I mean food wins, if u keenly observe it's not about who's angrier it's about who's more hungrier which made them hangry.
Yeah that's the whole point.
We have now gotten to the point and it's needless to say that it's food or the conversations around food which can effortlessly bring down the tension in a room unless it's a health hazard caused by food which is another story for some other day.
Interestingly this week, I signed an online petition started by Mr . Ranveer Brar like 22,356 others to make dhaniya the national herb of India .Well ,it deserves the honour for its versatility but it made me realise how all the petition jokes online are no longer just exaggerations
Speaking of Ranveer Brar,I sometimes wonder about the intricately shot shows on the epic channel.It had it's niche audience and few shows are definitely worth remiscing about ,now that I think about it.One such show was Raja Rasoi by RB which not only intrigued me for its food but also for the history behind food.Thyohaar ki thaali by Sakshi Tanwar subtly taught me how change is the only constant and how food could be the only constant during the very such times of change .Very subtly shown but very factually engraved.
You know,it's 4pm right now and mom's staring at the clock and if can read in between the lines it means that exactly at 4:23 pm,” who's gonna make chai contest” is going to become the hot topic of this room.
As I look right outside my window ,I see children playing and since it's already April my mind cannot stop thinking about the rasna that these guys would gulp down after playing all this while. I also see other ladies in the neighborhood talking with each other. What they discuss is always a mystery but I wish people in social gatherings shared their regional food /family recipes with each other just like gossips because nothing like the reach this could give and maybe a little gossiping could be done like …how Rajesh eats a crossiant with fork and knife but authentically it is to be eaten with your bare hands or may be how Divya thinks eating a deconstructed burrito bowl makes it a low calorie diet food.Such harmless gossip.
Its 4:03pm and the baby next door cries from 4:00 to 4:10 approx until her mom feeds him after all the talking she does with her neighbourhood friends.
Looks like he's calm now and what does that mean? It exactly means that food solves and resolves many things as .On that note,looks like my mom is hangry now so let me settle it with some chai and pakode.
