Food experience - part I
Food has been a fascinating thing to me from my childhood. I like to eat poori and chapathi but to be precise i ate each of them once in a month until my schooldays. All the three times we use to eat boiled rice with an exception on sundays and mondays where we eat idly and the remaining idly flour becomes dosa on mondays. Parota has been a very rare thing, may be once in two months. Since we have been a joint family which consisted of 15 members making breakfast has been a difficult job so we eat old rice that of yesterday.
I dont have much attraction to old rice but i have no option, i should have to eat coz my mom doesnt allows to go school empty stomach. So i will eat but always fighting with my mom. Here comes my dad or grandmom or granddad, whenever i complain they use to tell me the same old story which i hated to hear at that age and which i am into it now. Ah the old story states that they use to eat only ragi porridge or millet porridge or maize porridge thrice a day and boiled rice been a fantasy which will be seen during two days in a year and they are the festivals diwali and pongal.
I never ate maggi sort of noodles during my childhood which went on to became a habit of hating noodles. But after my school i went to college in chennai where my food have changed much regarding breakfast and there i made me adapt to that food but the real test to me came at my marine college where i learned eating bread and butter, pasta which helped me when i was in ship. My breakfast has been bread and butter for 9 months.
At my marine college its a different life and food. The food which i wanted the most has became an option for lunch and mandatory at dinner. Finally I made me to manage instead of hating which helped me live easily. I have eaten pizza burger and some don't know the name food at ship.
I have always teased my mom during my schooldays that the food is not good, its tasteless and my mom replies that when i go somewhere I'll realize the worth of her food and that time soon came when i went to my college.

Meeting an old friend
My father once always used to tell me while i was studying in school. "When you go to college you will get new friends and again when you work you will get new friends but during this process you will lose your friends at school & college". May be they'll vanish or they wont be of much important to you or have little of them. I never believed what he tells and i will be always at fight with coz thats the adolescence which makes you hate everything your parents tell. Never mind but my dad has been damn true.
Its been just 7 years i have passed out from school and just 3 years i came out of college and i don't have that much contact with my mates and friends.
Now i have only little bit of friends from my past and getting new friends but it seems most of them have gone so distance.
Now i am contacting my old friends and everytime i try to meet any of them either due to my laziness i wont go out to meet them but this sunday i have met one of my old friend during my school. I haven't seen him in years. We went to movie and spoke about what all have happened in our life and regarding our friends. Likewise i met another schoolmate and an very old friend indeed. I am trying to meet or contact my friends from school and college but speaking to them stirs the memories of how we have lived happily and we have been enjoying every moment. Now most of them are always busy towards their work and when we meet they always say life nearly has taken a big U turn for most of them and they are not able to make it out with old friends and i remember my dad's quotes.
