A good, good lunch

Today I was in a meeting that ate up into my routine lunch time. I was so hungry, i could feel my insides gnawing on each other. Started feeling giddy and all. As soon as I stepped out, I opened my lunch and tucked into my risotto. Yummy, that was!

Aah! Rice! The goodness of the world CAN be found in a grain...a grain of rice. Many grains of rice. Nice, happy mounds of rice. Sweet, little heaps of rice.

Goodness is rice. Godness is rice. Rice is nice.

And after that I ate some pedhas. A colleague was promoted and he'd got them.

Sigh! In the most centered little crevice of any molecular structure is satiety. (Mine, at least.) That's the feeling I live for.

Wonderful! :) Hey, I went searching for the second hand bookstore in Powai yesterday (u'd had a post abt it). No one had any idea where Great Punjab is. When you said Hiranandani Market I thought Galleria...or am I wrong?

hey idle...no no! not galleria. okay, u know Dmart? if u stand in front of Dmart, to your right will be a lane towards Galleria. To you right, onm the other hand will be a lane to the market. From Dmart (if your back is towards Dmart), take a right. keep going straight. You will pass Subway, Mainland China, etc. Then will come the smaller shops and restaurants - Gary's Menu, Great Punjab, etc. Opposite that you'll find the 'L'Amour book library.'

the good ol' khichdi! Agree completely :)

Btw, do you have this restaurant Govindas? It's an international chain and serves the yummiest "Ram-khichdi" that i've ever had.

Papa was discharged today and none of us were prepared for it. He is still so weak but we are on the right path of treatment, it seems. But ...
