All the previous commentors have sa...Hi Chinmayi,<br /> All the previous commentors have said it all. I had the rare opportunity of having thayir saadham and maavudu or murungakkai saambhar with my periamma. She used to big a big lump and I used to enjoy it along with complaints from my cousin alongside. Apram, we both used to gulp it down very fast so that who gets the next serving! More than Thayir Saadham, I miss maavudu :-(... <br />Nowadays, I have started working, away from home sweet home treading the tragic life of a bachelor, like a roadside dog, eating whenever and whatever comes our way. Posts like these are a kind of nostalgic solace to people like me who miss home. A kind of mixed feeling of happiness and tears reverberates in me at this point of time. Thanks for kindling my nostalgic and helping me to relive those old yet golden moments...The Mendicanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806267557971234976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719946.post-14571078447672572292009-10-26T21:04:16.972+05:302009-10-26T21:04:16.972+05:30irukkiravan thavikka viduraan

I am remembered of my aunt in Coimbatore.. each summer vacation when the family unites we have a gala.. mostly laughter, n food sessions are always like this.. begin from Sambar saatham, rasam and end with Thayir saadam.. thottukka ooruga, appalam, moremolaga, etc etc..and inevitably, all my cousins sacrifice the last morsel for me. In Telugu we call it "oorpu". It brings tears to my eyes when I visualize those moments. Im lucky and happy to see my just born daughter being brought up by her granny and shes even more lucky to have a kollu paati. "reservoir of Wisdom"???? its much more than that. Even now if i have a problem with my little angel..i refer them oldies..its surprising to see how they have understood each aspect of a kid without any modern day medicine n technology.<br />thnx for putting memories across..Jayaramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188284623984527077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719946.post-14835250193113135852009-10-26T04:57:59.477+05:302009-10-26T04:57:59.477+05:30Ayyooo Chin...
