Yeah, you guys guessed it right. It is through his stomach. Whenever he is not obsessing about you know what..... food is what he is thinking about most likely. Atleast that is the conclusion I have come to being outnumbered by men in my house.
The question most often asked in the house is," what are we having for breakfast tomorrow?". We usually have for breakfast, a variety of dishes and most likely they are elaborate too. Unlike in north where it is usually variety of stuffed paranthas or toast. Then the suggestions start pouring in, You have not made this in a long while. And that one too...

Especially my younger sons who are foodies. When they were younger they used to b so excited about their birthdays that the whole month of Dec was devoted to them....
....their wish was my command. Now that they have grown-up, all mature and serious... it is only ten days leading upto it...
. It does not suffice if the food they have asked for is prepared, I get to hear ...why is the parantha this thick today, this would have gone well with that, this tastes better when it warmed...
. It is difficult for me to understand this obsession because I dont think of food unless it is on the plate in front of me, and it does not bother me that much if it is warm or cold, spicy or bland.
Though my elder son does not have any craving of this sort, he enjoys food too. Once he let slip that he was a champion at eating and most of the times he always wins when there is a contest. That really raised a concern in me ....
....more for his poor tummy than for anything else..
. So would always warn him when they were planning a party or attending a friends kin' marriage which according to them was the best venue for the competiton......where they could get unlimited idlis or vadas , friends with so much time to kill egging them on, and the adjustable laada...what more could u want.......

Everytime i go to Forum mall I invariably get a msg for burgers,shake and wedges.....sometimes to see how far they can go they also add corn also plzzz....
So all holidays we have ever been to is obviously remembered by the meals we have had there. The dinners at Goa were heavenly they say. It was good too, by the pool, below the star-lit sky, live music to entertain, the whole family together in a relaxed mood and a long drawn-out 3 course tasty dinner. Looking back, it was wonderful.
And the lunch buffets at hyderabad were very impressive. It was HUGE. We were spoilt for choice and really had a wonderful time. You must be getting the glimpse of what i am trying to say..
. That is how we creat memories at our house...

Long back when they were around 7-8 yrs old i guess, we were in Mysore then. I used to take them on an outing after every monthly evaluation as a kind of break. Well that was what we would look forward to when we ...yeah WE... were busy preparing....as it used to be as tough on me too...:). So when we were planning this outing, I gave them a choice, we could either go to Mysore Palace ( as it was during dasara time and the palace along with the Peacock throne was open to the public) or zoo. That started a heated argument among them, I let them hash it out and left the room. And when i returned they were no closer to an unanimous decision, one was saying that it is better in zoo, you get everything there, while the other was arguing that there are food-stalls outside the palace. And here i was ...an idiot , thinking that they were discussing which was more interesting to see....
. Here I rest my case!!
