A cute little vada (deep-fried potato patty) snugs nicely in a pao (leavened bread pocket). Though for a proud Mumbaikar like me, the best sandwich-like dish is vada pao any day. It will have to be PBJ because I can’t have bacon. She asked me to finely chop onions and sauté them in a pan.Ī few minutes into the sauté, very romantically I whispered to her, “Onions are nicely done and they are glowing pink like your cheeks.” Not to be outdone by a crossworder, she quipped - now sauté it till they are brown like your cheeks! Thank God crosswords are colorblind! One day, I braved myself into helping my wife in cooking paneer tikka masala. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?
If I can coin a new word, that will be my desired superpower. For me, every word in that has helped me discover the meaning of life. They say you go to a dictionary to get the meaning of a word. The more I understood every word and the many nuances it had, I felt like every word was like a book in itself.Įvery time you use a word, it has the power to take you to a completely new place and you wonder if you have really understood the meaning of that word. I think every word I studied in that dictionary has been like a brick in the wall of my life. I remember I gifted myself a huge Random House Webster’s dictionary when I was 17. Best gift you have ever been given, material or otherwise?
