Locomotoring

…bleed? That is the question. This moment is dedicated to my sister-in-law who posits that Haldiram’s bhujia flows through our veins.

This was the year of attending a panjabi wedding, our cousin’s, the youngest in the cohort. Monsoon rain was falling outside and inside the home, we were being rained on by boxes of high quality sweets and namkeens. It would have been rude not to eat even if one could self control. There is no self control so we arrived at a compromise. First, I convinced myself that ethical and environmental impact of wasting all the good stuff far outweighed health hazards. Second, some good people on the internet suggested that sweets can be frozen and revived. So, we ate the namkeens and froze the sweets. If you have never tried a mathri chaat and egg for breakfast, I highly recommend that you do. We are now on a monthly ration of sweets. Typically on the first of the month, a rationally rationed vaccum sealed bag is being opened.
