Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

After a very long time I am away from home, in another city, in another state. United with my family for a very joyous occasion I wish to reinvent myself. I also wanted to test myself how much I can take the risks of travelling and adjusting to a totally different climactic condition. But the whole idea is to enjoy a few days of leisure and laughter.

Yesterday, we (me and my B-I-L) arrived in Bangalore or Bengaluru where my nephew and niece-in-law stay. My sister had joined them earlier. Since I am not in a position to travel alone it was decided that B-I-L should accompany me and we should follow my sister later. A few minor hassles after we boarded the flight. The take-off was delayed by a few minutes due to technical reasons. During touch down, due to air traffic congestion and a bird hitting the flight right ahead, our aircraft was not given permission to land and hovered in air for some time. The landing was not smooth.

This is my second visit to Bangalore. The Kempagauda Airport is huge and aesthetically pleasing. The city is bright and beautiful. Above all, the Air Quality Index is only 50. That’s a pulmonary relief. The weather is slightly cold but pleasant.

Since my nephew and niece-in-law work from home we got to have a good chat only during dinner. The conversation naturally veered towards food. My N-I-L is in the family way. So, there’s lots of celebrations ahead. And what is a celebration without food ?

Since I am in South India I wish to have lots of my favourite South Indian dishes  – crispy sambar-vada, fat masala dosa, sizzling Utthapam and a lavish spread of thali. Plans are ongoing.

Looking forward to all that. Will keep filling you up on all the glory details of the feasts.

Till then Traa Laa Laa Laa Laa.

Morning in Bangaluru
