Nalan, the famous mythological king turned dwarf and served as a cook. Even today, cuisines served by men are called as "Nala Baagam". It is our turn to try out Nala Baagam at Orchid Park yesterday. We were eagerly waiting for the arrival of Mani to bring us food from Karus for dinner. But later he changed his plans and said he will arrive around 12 midnight. So I and DV decided to start. Yeah..we went to nearby stores and got ourselves the required utensils. Got vegetables and all the desi masala stuffs required..(thank god we have two desi stores nearby).
So it was rice in the microwave, Bhindi Masala as the subzee and Sambhar as the main course. Wow...wow... the very thought of it made me smile.
So, applying my MBO knowledge for the utensils, stoves, spoons and other kitchen stuffs, found that the Kadaai is the bottleneck. Went ahead in making the Bhindi masala. It was a success. Then when it came to Sambhar, halfway through realised that we did not buy Tamarind. Shame on me. I boiled drumstick thinking of putting it in sambhar. What to do ? No respite for poor DV. So went ahead with Dal Fry with drumstick in it. Sounded funny. But it turned out to be pretty good. Well..that is what DV said to me and I know DV is honest. ;-).
But Dont worry my friends ! DV is still alive and I think he had a normal time at the potty. Now it will be others turn to suffer Anna's Nala Baagam. Wow...wow..Nice way to take revenge on some of our folks. Dada said he wanted to have lunch with us at home.hee hee fancying my chances.

Congrats on officially inagurating your kitchen. I'm sure someday DV's gonna cook Rajma-Chawal for all of us. He has recd. many accolades in the US, including the Indian IT Professional Cook of the year award, for his culinary skills. Being a nice-at-heart fellow, DV tolerated your Nala Baagam stuff.
As far as Dada is concerned, he is a man of simple taste. Durian-paysam will do for him.
Well said Tau!
DV is now focussing on being the Rajma Specialist. His dialogue is tumhare paas gaadi hai, bangla hai..paisa hai..but mere paas Rajma hai! I can bet my ass off on the fact that he is the best Rajma cook under the category: "Couch sleepers-Working from home IT specialists at Orchid Park tower 6 unit1-03"
Dada..the simple man and simple needs shall be taken care off..we're planning for Durian payasam and some german beer!
As for the nala baagam..that was anna being modest! (ahem....you see i have interests in being tactical).
hi, sorry to bother.i'm from Beijing Language and Culture University. I found you are the only one i can find in the internet of those people who had some experience with Markops.
I happen to need help in this regard. And iT'S quite improper to ask you to devote your time to help a stranger. However, since you are the only one, i'M wondering, by any chance, you are willing to help me. I would be thrilled and grateful if so.
