A Rememberance

How do we live every day without you? How do we not miss you?  Why have you gone so far that our voice won't reach you?  Why did ...

Bharli Wangi & Bhakri

Two days ago , I was in terrible mood . As usual , Mister had no idea how to get rid of my bad temper. You see , its his responsibility as he ends up bearing the brunt of my temper . So, in his trial and error , he took me to a restaurant for dinner. This restaurant is called Garam Masala  who serves authentic Marathi cuisine alongside Punjabi food and some liquor  . Frankly, I am not greatest fans of Garam Masala , but I'd decided to not interrupt in his bid to calm me .

He ordered  Bharli wangi and Bhakri for us . This Bharli wangi turned out to be  awesome . It had  everything in proportion . So well , that it has now become a bench mark for me on next outing anywhere . Needless to say , I was back  in real world sooner and accepting my good fortunes.  So , now why I am writing this -Because Athawale and RJ Archana of 91.1 .

A few days ago , RPI has taken on its agenda to save Marathi Cuisine.  They are insisting hotels to  keep it on their Menu card .  Ofcourse we are aware how strong is our political will to protect the culture of Marathi . I precisely know why Mr. Athawale was worried , It is due to people like RJ  Archana who said , "Yeh theatre mein toh ghus gaye , ab restaurant mein bhi decide karenge." (These people have already barged in Theater and now trying to gatecrash Restaurant ) . Now, the way she said it , she didn't seem to be talking about Political Goons , but for overall "Marathi" .  So, its natural for Mr. Athawale to be more concerned .

 On my finger tips we can count 10 marathi cuisine serving restaurants who serve top food consistently and mind you at a rate which fits most people's pocket too.  So, my suggestion to Athwale sir is work to  provide these restaurants an umbrella of safe business (tax havens/ lesser corruption/more food festivals) to help them survive than rathar urging everyone to take Marathi cuisine and convert it something continental or international ultimately spoiling the taste . And for Ms. Archana , Madam , People will sniff Marathi food and Culture . Be it a fried surmai , Oily misal , Bharli wangi or dietry Bhakari. They are here to stay .
