Inside the mind of a Soft Cook

Every stage of life discussions can be viewed from satirical point of view. Even though it is not easy at the point of having the discussion, in retrospect, it is fun to see the funny side of the discussion or interaction.

Last week, I went to my cousin's place. Most of the unimportant discussions we had was about food.By welcoming me to their house, my sister hesitantly took the "cook it spicy" challenge.Being sweet and soft by nature, the challenge seems some what tough but my sister likes to be challenged, so she was ready for it. 

My family food legacy: I came from a family who categorized entire world into two kinds. One who put on chilli powder in the food and the other who put on red/green chillis along with the powder.

The below conversations are sarcasm made that might or might not have happened. But who cares until it is fun.

The actors in the conversation are Charan, Chakri, Shanti, Shanti_1(Shanti's mind), Charan_1 (Charan's mind), Chakri_1 (my mind)

Day 1:

Charan: Chakri is coming.Cook him some spicy food. He likes it.
Shanti : hmm.....ok. How much spicy does he eats?
Charan: A lot.
Shanti_1: Charan, baga over ga hype istunadu.Chakri ki oka spoon este chalu ala padutadu.

Day 2 ,while cooking:

Shanti_1: Is this spoonful of chili powder enough ??? I guess this is too much. Nobody can eat this much spiciness.

Day 2, while eating:

Shanti_1:  Damn it. He is not even telling how is the food?, Is it too spicy ? I should have put less chili powder ? or is it not enough? 

Shanti: how is the food?  
Shanti_1: do not dare to tell it is bad. If u say it, Chachave.

Charan: Its good.
Charan: edi karanaga ledu. 
Charan_1: Poor Chakri. Sarle inkemi chedam.

Chakri: Its tasty Shanti.

Shanti: It is not spicy. Isn't it so? 
Chakri : yeah
Shanti_1: Vediki oka spoon saripodu.repu vuntundi veidiki. mukulo nuchi karalisnde.

Chakri_1: Shanti , spicy ga epudu cheyali.

Day 3, while cooking:

Shanti_1: 3 spoons chilli powder vesa. Chala karanga vuntundemo. Ayyayo epudela.Sarle let see. Chakri, be careful on what u wish for. ha ha ha

Day 3, while eating:

Shanti: how is the food?

Charan: Karam akadakata tagulutundi.

Shanti_1: vamo, naku top lechipotondi ikada. Akadakata karam tagalatamenti.

Chakri: Its good. Enduku Shanti nakosam spicy ga cheyalani nuvu ebandi patadavu.

Shanti_1: Vedu manisha. Mirchi machine aa. enta karam vesina edo sweet tenatu tenestunadu

Shanti: Nee kalalo nelu chudame na lakshyam

 Chakri: Lol

Day 4, while cooking:

Shanti_1: 3 spoons kadu, e daba powder veseta. Hope he will cry at least now.

Day 4, while eating:

Shanti: How is the food ?
Charan: Awesome. Apudapudu karam tinte body manchidanta.

Shanti_1: Charan , come on. I know how much spice u actually eat. Pulihora kaburulu vadu.

Chakri: unbelievable, extra ordinary , amazing .
Shanti: dookudu cinema nenu chusa. Bhajanapi , food elavundo chepu.
Chakri: Excellent Shanti. U filled my heart also.


Shanti_1: Vedu mari ekuvaga feel avutadu. Thank god !!! eroju friday avadam vala. Aa food nenu tenakunda vuna.

After many tries finally Shanti really made an awesome spicy curry. Thank you Shanti.

The New ‘MY’Tattoo

Image
It took nearly three and half years to get the new tattoo inked on my body. This tattoo has a special significance to me as it represents me psychologically and emotionally. The inception of the idea of getting tattooed has begun when I met Aparna Sarepaka (alias Appy) who is an amazing artist (One of few best artists I have known till date) and was amazed by her designs and sketches. I asked her whether she could help me out in sketching myself for a tattoo. She agreed and asked me to fill a template about likes / dislikes and interests /disinterests. She actually sent me some designs but those are cluttered and needed some modifications. I requested her to do the same. Meanwhile she got busy with her exams and then with her life and the project went on HOLD.Then I worked independently looking lot of designs in different cultures and trying to match to my philosophy in life.Nothing got materialized. After sometime I met Tejaswi Damaraju , an architect with immense interest in des...

Interval Bang

As I was falling from the plane from 13300 ft with a speed of 200Km/hr, I felt very much relieved as I completed my bucket list that was created five years back.I became free from it. I was so attached to the bucket list that there was a background process running all the time in my mind to complete the bucket list. Freedom is unexplainable experience. I did not know how to express it and I felt like running running running and running. The moment I landed on the ground, I got an impression that half of my life was over. In the movie language, the first half was over and the interval time had arrived. Bazinga!!! Looking back, life was mostly passive till third year of my engineering education. Life spurted during the final year. Then it started to scrawl then to walk then to sprint then to run. Past 6 to 7 years, life was at a very good rush: Ignorance recognized, ego brought down, confidence unveiled, courage uncovered, love craved, character built, innocence protected, youthful vi...

Begin Again

In the closing lines of the story "What we talk about when we talk about love"  Raymond Carver  says: I  could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark. When we read the book, its about finding that heart beating.It has been long time, I felt like that after reading a book : deeply connected, tears after reading it, completely satisfied, joy in the face, feeling human again. The other day, I felt similar emotion after watching the movie "Begin again". Best songs I have heard in recent times, best music, best performances, best screenplay. Thanks   John Carney for making me cry and writing/directing such a subtle story. PS: After watching the movie, I felt like going to Newyork again. (The movie is completely shot at NY downtown)
