When we were in Kolhapur,Tata every year used to perform annual ceremony for his mother.Which meant Amma had to have a bath and cook specific food for the Brhamins.Vada,Allap pachadi,etc.Now these Brhamins were supposed to eat to their hearts content occasionally burping loudly,so that my grand mothers soul will be well fed! Unless they finished eating non of us could eat our lunch.Which meant we used to be starving since morning till late afternoon cursing those brhamins.So cute tata used to hide some Vadas and bring them in to bed room and give them to us.Amma used to get upset, but he will say they are children and how long can they wait.That was the greatness of Tata, balancing old ideas with modern ideas!
