My domestication is worth bragging about….honestly!
I grew up this spoilt brat; household work was something the maids and cooks had to handle…all that i was concerned about was the quality of the end product….but life, as they say, comes full circle!
Having lived in India all my life, domestic help was always an arms length or a shout away! Growing up in Orissa, manpower was never a problem. Living at home through college and the 2 1/2 years while I worked in Bangalore, ensured i was well looked after; and Jibu ensured that the maid in Hyderabad was well managed.
I moved to Gurgaon about a year back, and the mandate was clear….eat out and sleep at home. In any case, the quality and quantity of work at GroupM kept us in office consistently…be it weekdays or weekends! The little time that i did take out, was invested in playing catch up with sleep. Murugesh with his quintessential menus and RP (the home delivery specialist) 
ensured that organising food at home was a futile exercise.
Crazy as it sounds, i invested what little i earned in all sorts of gizmos but somehow never got down to investing in a refrigerator. Till July 2006 that is…(Yes, the madman that i am, i went through a the Summer of 2006 without a fridge)
However, I now am the proud owner of a Samsung Refrigerator…and it has changed my life! I actually went shopping for groceries (read: meat (processed, cooked), beer & beverages) and in the last 24 hours have ventured into the kitchen THRICE….you may think this is nothing, whats the big deal et al….but call my mom and you’ll understand the true implications of my domestication! The good thing is i seem to be a natural cook (though i must admit the only cooking i’ve done so far would be called ‘warming’ by the experts amongst us) but what scares me the most is the growing pride of my domestication!!
Call it survival or call it evolution…what i feel is more ALIVE!
hey…
Thanks for the exclusive preview…
what can I say ? I love the braggart in you… esp the ‘domesticated’ one ! The vulnerability only adds to the charm…
As an old adage goes, ‘a journey of a thousand recipes begins with a single step into the kitchen’! Hmmm… you seem to have mastered both ends of the entire continuum (notice i didnt say spectrum for a reason! ha ha) of cooking – warming and thanda rakhna… whats left now is the space inbetween! don’t worry, sab ho jayega dheere dheere… whats the hurry? A few summers or rather moons won’t change much!
Nahin toh Jibu, murugesh, RP hai na?
Heres to STAYING ALIVE!!!…
well… u can give ure mum n ureself another shock by getting a microwave…..
the next step to becoming ‘domesticated’ …
