Remembering TATA GARU, NANNAGARU AND AMMA

     Hello Family,
    
Enjoy the photograph and sweet    memories of these beautiful persons.

Nani

Ugadi Pachadi

As a young girl I used to dread eating Ugadi Pachadi.And then ammama used to make pulihara and dahiwada.Death nail.I used to steal left over rice and eat pickle rice.Its so funny how what you ate when you were kids it really stays with you.In our recent visit to Pune I was amused to see how Rampriya, aigo and me have same habits.We all hate curds only buttermilk for us.All so how we all love rasam.So this year is `khara` means moon.Today there are lot people who predict how the year is going to be. This year is good for common man. Not good for Politicians.(more Scams?)Good mansoon,good crops.No earth quake and psunami in India.
So Happy Ugadi to one and all.

Tomorrow is MahaShivaratri.
Ammamma`s birthday.
Tata loved MahaShivaratri.So Ammama had to prepare Sabudana khichadi,Boiled sweet potato in sugar syrup and lots of fruits.

Maha Shiva Ratri and Tata

sitafal

When we were building this house we were renting Parkumars house.One time Daddy bought lots of Sitafals and on the way they all got crushed and were mass pulp of the same.Tata was visiting us over a weekend.So both Nanamma and tata said how can we waste the fruit,So they both sat and consumed entire amount.Now Sitafal is one fruit it is very difficult to digest if you are not careful.So next morning both of them were catching their Tummys and running to loo every few minutes cursing the fruit.
Nainamma and Tata were good friends.She always used to tease ammama for ill treating her friend.And they used to have friendly verbal fights about tata.

cricket

After Tata came back from Australia he was posted to Kolhapur.There we lived in an apartment.So one day Tata asked us if we understood cricket.We had never heard of such a game.So next day he went and bought a black board and chalks.He made us sit around it and explained us about the long leg,short leg, slip position, what was an over etc.After that we all became cricket match addicts.In those days there was only radio commentary.Prasanna, chandrashkhar etc were the bowlers and Sunil Gavaskar,Patudi. I can never forget those thrilling close finishing matches.Spinners were on the top those days.In the school we used to go to office to find out the score in between classes.
