It was night 9:30 and I was hungry, so much so .. that i could have had anything in front of me. A friend of mine suggested if we could go to "The Pongal", an authentic TamilNadu, unhygenic mess serving idlis and dosas who u would have never heard of.
Lungis and white shirts, the typical south wear we could see .. may b being frm mumbai .. i m used to it .. but the way i called the waiter there .. "Hey Bossss, order lena" .. and the waiter realised ... that we are the customers .. who can be easily neglected. ;-) But i quickly learnt a few tricks and called "annaaa" and he came running .. haha!! "Dose me kya hai", i asked .. and what happened was really filmy style .. my anna was uttering words like a "without brakes Indrayani express" :-) and i could understand nothing .. thought a bit abt the order .. and i continued .. what generally happens in films, i said .. "vo last me bola vo leke aa na" :-)
Then came the order for idlis .. and i could make out atleast one dish out of the whole list .. "Tanjore Idli" ... goshhhhhhhh .. if thats a real Tanjore Idli .. i wont go to Tanjore in my lifetime!
Looking at others enjoying their dishes .. i thought of copying their eating style .. and i put my hand in the bowl of sambar idli :-) maja aya ... but it doesnt come naturally to us .. and hence i wont like to copy it again! Nice heavy food .. whose names i dont know :-) Returned home at around 11pm and needless to say .. had a severe stomachache for next two days!
