Still Vegetarian but

this is what I am thinking about...

A thick, juicy mutton burger. One of those really fat slabs of tender mutton patty, deep-fried to a perfect, golden crisp – coated with a crumbly, tasty, slightly spicy batter.

Filets of fish fried in a batter of besan, chilli powder, and just a little bit of curd.

Juicy, barbecued prawns – glistening with liberal clumps of masala.

The slightly charred, smoky soft, delicately flavoured whole pomfrets.

A large baked dish of creamed rice with strips of bacon and pepperoni and cubes of beef and mutton.

Fried sausages slathered with sour cream and poached eggs.

A long, herbed and perfectly marinated raan – with meat that is so tender that you can scoop it up with a spoon.

A platter of soft, white reshmi kababs.

Spicy, pungent mutton curry with potatoes that have soaked in every trace of flavour of the gravy.

Mutton biryani, with lots and lots of nalli pieces.

An open Spanish omelette with layers of potatoes, mince, bacon, shrimp, smoked salami.

Kheeme, simply boiled and seasoned with dried red chillies, a little bit of crushed garlic.

Gobi paratha with fried egg on top.

Puris stuffed with pureed matar and spicy egg bhurji with lots of onions, chillies and haldi.

A big bowl of paaya.

it happens when you are hungry. the stomach sends sinful, dripping with temptation messages to the brain, and then the brain makes the eyes glaze over with such dark(brown), fat (and sleep) inducing visions. just go and slowly start munching on a green salad, or some fruits, add peanuts to it if you "crave" some more ... and you will be back to normal AND still be feeling light and happy .. yes, happy. :)

First Impressions: How to Get Away with Murder (Netflix)

 I love courtroom dramas.  I love non-linear storytelling. I love thrillers. I love tender love stories that embellish such series of grit, grime, and blood. This series delivers on all counts, dips somewhat after a couple of seasons, gets uneven and predictable (when it is less courtroom and more drama) and then finishes strong. The series centers around Annalise Keating who is a fierce, black criminal lawyer who also teaches a class in criminal law (which she calls 'How to Get Away with Murder'). As a teaching methodology, she gets her class to weigh in on her live cases. Part of her strategy also involves picking a handful of promising students and have them work in her 'lab' where they get to help her in strenuous arguments and civil suits, etc. The plot thickens, a murder happens, people get involved, incriminated, incarcerated, and dead. I found a couple of characters in this cast to be really unlikeable - Michaela, Laurel, and Bonnie. After the first couple of se

That kind of a day, that kind of a thought

 It was Eid and Ekadashi today. Thus far, I have managed to keep the fast for Ekadashi. But we still have 2 hours to go so...let's see. I had this urge to go to a temple. There is a small one near my house. Today it was filled with people singing keertans. So I went to the  Iskcon. I like the temple. It's so big and bustling. It's organised and musical.  But today was very crowded. Usually I go to temples and do a quick pranaam without offering flowers or fruits. But I felt like buying a thali. I got one with some fruits, tulsi leaves and a single marigold flower that lay there like a fully energized petaled sun. There was a long queue and I was already feeling stressed in the pit of my stomach. But the line kept moving and just like that, I had my darshan and I got done.  I came out and thought of getting a flower for the pooja room in my home. I bought a lotus. The florist fluffed out the petals and it looked like a sweet little bird.  I caught an auto back and as is my n

A very bad mood

 I have been trying to sleep for a while but have not been able to. I am in a very bad mood. Turns out I am very averse to change. Things are crap.  Deep breaths are not helping. I am feeling very trapped. The anger and irritation is quite intense. Let me take a few moments to just quietly watch myself.  Works
