Naren: That was informative. Thank you! No, am not kidding, I mean it. I had no idea about this Gataari amavasya. Our ancestors are quite the accomodative thoughtful ones creating days for our pleasure indeed.
ah well, wives usually frown on anything husband-related. Not to take it personally :p

Maverick: I LOVE that carrotcake at Seattle’s best! You stick to norm, food taketh over! :)

I bought 1,700 rupees worth of fish, which my mom will convert into some great curry and fried fish which I will then convert into calories. Today, by the way, is Gataari Amavasya, day of binge eating and drinking. Etymology of Gataari – “derived from the word ‘gutter’(english: open drain), owing to the custom among Marathi people to drink so much on this day that the gutter becomes the natural resting place”. From tomorrow starts the month of Shraavan, in which one does not consume fish and liquor. Hence the binge. I’m not Marathi (Konkani. Close, but not quite there) but I share with them a fondness for both fish and liquor, a fondness which sadly is looked down upon by important figures of authority in my life, such as my wife.

But today, I binge eat, period.

Um, no. I’ve just realized that I have a way to make you feel better about your sending habits.

I bought two bags of chips for my daughter’s playgroup (so much for healthy eating !) during the entire week.

Hey, but tomorrow is grocery day ! :-)

Well… joining residency will shed a few kilos…and working there gets ppl down a size or two! So anything I buy now will be oversized!! And for someone who’s been as thin as a matchstick all his life…. :(
