Vada venum

-
Sanja speaks but it might sound as if she is singing.
Here is a conversation that took place today morning. Try imagining her singing it in slow dragging voice.

We had made vadai because it was the starting of the Aadi month. Sanja got a small kara-kara (crisp) piece. She finished it off and asked for some more in the following way.

Venum ma venum ma  
Inn one venum ma
Vadai venum ma
kara kara vadai venum ma

Translated for ppl who dont know Tamil
I want ma i want ma
one more i want ma
vadai want ma
crispy crispy vada want ma

So she got the extra vada purely for her singing ;P.

And we are back again , again and again ... hmmmm The years have just whizzed by and V is already 3 , talking loads ,going to school and S entering tween phase but having all the attitudes of a teen . The craziness has increased multi folds and we sure are enjoying our days that blink by so fast. I missed updating the lovely laughable moments we have had with V. Given that he is the ideal poster boy of Terrible Twos and Threes , we sure have our fair share of crowd stares in public places, scream symphony at homes. High time I capture our lively moments here for rewind some other day.

So yesterday she took mine, peeled the skin and was feeding me :P. She was asking me to take bites like I tell her to eat food. The other baby didn't want to be left out. He found that his akka was having something interesting and was rearing to get it to his mouth. Watching the 2 kids , we were laughing at the attics. Sanja then reminded me again - Amma aah( a-um) vangiko ma.. sappidhu ma. It sent us into another peals of laughter. Finally she got fed up with my slow eating and herself made pieces out of it and fed them into my mouth. Blessed me !!! I was all smiles. How much of a mother she is to me? She then proceeded to put the skin in the dustbin and wa

Pathiyam samayal

Food specially prepared for a new mother . If you are a Brahman and a Tambram at it, you would have heard these words in a household that has just been blessed with a new -born baby. The food items prepared under this category is mainly meant for the new mother, to help her out in recovering from the internal wounds that she would have after the delivery. The main ingredients used for flavouring are pepper, pepper and some more pepper, ladles of ghee, salt. It is the post-natal care for both the new mother and the baby, making sure they don't suffer from indigestion. Nowadays , however, either due to the lack of support system( elderly people or parents) many of us just about take the normal food we have during normal times. But you can actually feel the difference the specially prepared food has compared to the normal diet we follow.   The options one has for this particular food preparation might be a tad bit limited, but with new experiments you can prepare a variety of d
