A very very very happy 2017 to ALL OF US
Hope this year there will ONLY be good happenings
Here is a cheery fun part
"Yes yes"
"She is not home Mr Iyer" R&B paced the living room
Sahana slept on his shoulder
"She said she was coming we were supposed to meet Mr Janakiraman at Malai Mandir at 4 PM I say" Appa was visibly frustrated, he lifted the edge of his veshti and paced the lounge in the opposite direction
"Bitwa hum laayen kaa?" Mavvy asked softly
"Umm... nahi I can" R&B sighed
"3 to taba hee baj gaya" he sang gently
"I know" he nodded
"Uncle ke liye coffee laayen kaa hum?" he asked
R&B nodded
"Meetha zyaada" R&B chuckled
Mavvy looked surprised at the quiet joke
He brought filter coffee in II's first set of davara tumbler the one R&B bought at Rama Store
Appa looked at it as the steam wafted invitingly
"Bhabhiji kal murak banaye rahin woh bhi laaye, aur mysore ka pakka" he said politely
Appa looked amused but refused to give it to Mavvy
"Moorakh to main hoon" Appa grunted and sighed
"Sirjee?" Mavvy questioned
"Only coffee... aur kuch nahi" Appa said quietly
Mavvy returned sadly "Basa kophee ka keh rahe hain" he said
R&B nodded
Sahana stirred lifted her head and slammed it back like a drunk woman
Filter coffee tended to wake Iyers up from the deepest slumbers, no matter what size... the Iyer happened to be
R&B patted her back and whistled
R&B was in the living room he peeked
Appa reached secretly for a mysore ka pakka
And bit into it, it crumbled and fell on his veshti
Moist and fragrant and golden brown with many pit like holes all over
He ate it reverentially
And then picked up a moorakh
And chowed it down, the crunch echoing from the 30 foot cieling, a fried curry leaf sticking to his lower lips
He had to swallow his spit to calm his taste buds as his daughter had indeed made the mullu tenkuzhal buttery crunchy and had the red pepper kick to it
And then slowly reached for his coffee and it was still hot
He nodded in subtle appreciation, he liked it hot
Mavvy knew exactly how much he liked hot coffee
Amma called
He looked at the phone guiltily.
Wiped his lips off to remove traces
Answered
Cleared his throat and coughed a bit to get rid of the spicy texture in his mouth
"Ennachu?" Amma worried
"Innum varale dee aval" (she is not home yet)
"She must be on her way, vaal rendum vandacha?" (are the twins home?)
"Ille" he laughed involuntarily
"Thatha let me SOW u my pwojukt" Amma mimicked Ved's voice
"Mavvy irukano?" (is Mavvy home?) she enquired
"Avanum irukan... kozhandai toongardu" (the baby is asleep)
"OHHH Good good)Amma was pleased
"Pesinela?" Appa looked at the living room entry way, SIL was missing
"Avan pesardu illaye" (he does talk)
Amma laughed
"Coffee kudingo sonnan, seri sonnen" (I agreed to drink when he asked) Appa said
He reached for another mysore pak
"Fisht classa panra dee aval" he said shamelessly biting in (she makes great food)
'What are u eating?" Amma asked enviously
Appa explained
And slowly tossed his coffee between tumbler and davara and sipped
And smacked his lips
"Sugar jaastiyo?" (looks like there is lot of sugar in it) Amma asked perceptively
"Yes yes" Appa nodded... satisfied
