GREEN, RED, YELLOW. And Maggi.

Just when I thought boredom has a limit, it got itself a new one. A completely boring Tuesday afternoon, the television has now officially turned merciless on poor collegians on holiday on a weekday by making television programmes miserable. I was lying on the couch, completely insane, and I called up mom, just to bother her at work for time-pass, she said she was busy, and that I should help myself to some maggi noodles in the cupboard. I hung up feeling flushed. Completely stale. Sick. Green…

And then comes the *twink*. ( figuratively, the light bulb above my head lit up). I sat up, walked straight to my kitchen and rummaged in the refrigerator for everything that’s green and that goes. Finally I made up my mind.

I first sautéed a whole capsicum chopped, with some garlic cloves and a green chili. Once that was done, I added 2 cups of water, and the maggi masala, and made the noodles as usual. Then I threw in some oregano herbs, some fresh coriander leaves, some pani puri masala, some chaat masala, and then, after it was done, squeezed some lemon over it.

The first mouthful of ‘green’ maggi threw in a blast of the flat yet somehow spicy taste of the capsicum. It was immediately followed by the freshness and tanginess of the lemon juice, and then came on, the mixed taste of all the herbs. And of course, the maggi taste. I could see green, I could taste green, and everything about it said green.

One eats with his eyes just as much as he eats with his mouth. So this colour concept is going to be the highlight of my blog for the rest of the vacations. Its going to be called GREEN, RED, YELLOW; following the fact that most of our food is green, red or yellow primarily. I’m going to separate each of those colours and explore the colour characteristic of taste; and experiment on the food that we usual eat.

In a nation where no one knows that cricket is actually an insect...

India is a land of religions, of unity, of diversity, and, more importantly, of cricket. The world cups on, and the temperatures are running high; in case you think i'm mentioning the weather, you are definitely not from India!!!!

I was never really into cricket, and i suck at playing it as much! But world cup's almost driven home now, and i can't help but give in to the cricket talks, the blue clothes, the 'bleed blue' slogans; in stations, trains, Xavier's and at home! (My brother and my cousin are cricket maniacs)
And when the master blaster is about to make gis 100th International ton, Sehwag is hitting boundaries over and over again, and Yuvi and Bhajji are taking wickets like hound dogs do raw meat, how can you ever stay locked up in your room and STUDY, and miss the fun of the light blues kicking the asses of every other colour? Yes, my exams are 3 days to go!

The India v/s Pakistan match on Wednesday was the first ODI match i'd sat through from the coin toss to the last ball, 100 overs! And surprisingly I enjoyed it a hell lot. Though the 20-25 overs in between get boring, the last 10 overs are worth watching every bit. And yes, i just discovered it!

This is a nation where cricket is what people live, eat, drink, breathe and bleed. And this sport is what brings the whole country together. so I'm going to sit tight, today, for the India v/s Sri Lanka finals and root for India, no matter what the match ends up to be!
enjoy!

INDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA INDIAAAAAAAAAAA:):)
