Aflatoon Alu Matar, Tales Of Polish Wedding & The Oval

Again, the week ended with a nice, cool & lazy Sunday. In my opinion, if Sunday isn't lazy then it's not Sunday.

Well, the week started out quietly on professional front and as usual got heated up twoards the end of the week. But, on personal front, Monday started with alfatoon Alu Matar in the Dinner. I had made the curry of Alu Matar for Dinner on Monday and it came out really good. We had rotis, parathas, Alu Matar & Papads.

On Wednesday, one of my senior from client side came back from a short vacation to poland. He went to Poland for soem marriage and i heard the tales of polish wedding form him on Wednesday Morning over a cup of coffee with him. In the Polish wedding that he attended, the ceremony last for 3 days. They were being picked up from their hotel by their host and travelled to the church on horse carts. upon reaching there, they got a reception with lots of music going on and they were provided with Vodkas to drink. Then, at 3pm, food was served at buffet and vodkas were served. now, form then onwards, at every two hours, food and dirnks repeated till 5-6 am the next morning and all were dancing their hearts out during those two hours interval between food/drink serves. This ceremony continued for 3 days consequetively. I must say that was the kind of event i would like to attend one day!!

The week which started with alu Matar ended with Bhel Puri on friday evening. I love any form of chaats and would love to make Bhelp Puri, Sev Puri etc. myself whenever i get a chance.

Now, the next saturday morning was something special for me. I was going to the Ocal Cricket Ground to watch the test match. Well, since my childhood days, i have fond memories of stayign awale late in the night to watch australia beating westindies in 1994-95, wakign up early to see australia trouncing england in ashes of 1994-95, Bunking colelges to watch India's miracle win against australia in 2001, or adjusting office schedule to see greatest test series of my time in ashes 2005. After being an ardent fan of Test Cricket for so long, finally, i was watching a test match cricket on some abroad ground and i must tell you it was very very satisfactory. In last few years, i haven't done anything that has given me so much satisfaction to be honest so that was really really soemthing special.
