Walk of life

Anna he Parabrahma.  Food is blessing of Almighty. Eating good food or just food is Divine.  The importance of this Sanskrit sentence I understood during MBBS days in Sewagram.  Hostel and food don't go well.  Hostel life with friends is great.but Hostel food😱  In Sewagram, the food and food habits were totally different from what I had eaten home. At home, it was typical Brahminical cuisine....Rice,Sambhar, veggies with no garlic or onion, lots of coconut.  But Sewagram was 360deg opposite.  There were veggies with funny names...Dhemse, Tinde,.....never heard nor eaten in my life.  First time I saw Brinjal being cooked in total. Along with its end. When served in mess,the overcooked Brinjals looked like a dead Entire Rat with its long tail. Our Warden was a teetotaller. She never liked to waste anything.  So she invented an innovative idea.....the Methi leaves would be made into Aloo Methi.  And next day, the ends of the Methi (   डेठ) would be rolled into pooris....to be served
