    I nominate "Grandma's Rasam" by @Anusha2917.
    It is an essence ('rasam') of simple cooking with the richest unmatched taste of old and modern days.Present day soup can't stand before our rasam

    @Amulet
    Thank you for your nomination of @Anusha2917 's Grandma's Rasam
    Thank you @jayasala42 and @Thyagarajan for supporting the nomination.
    Alchemy is an ancient method of turning base metals into gold. In Tamil, it is called Rasavadam. The art of turning a few base ingredients into an elixir of life called Rasam has probably derived its name from Rasavadam. A wedding catering contractor tells me that the most consumed item in wedding dinners is the Rasam. Fascinating is the variety of ways in which it is consumed. Some take it just with rice. Some smash a papad in the rice-rasam combo and take it. Some just drink it from a cup. There are extremists who pour it into their cupped palms from a tumbler and drink it. No other eatable is consumed in a variety of ways like rasam.
    Thank you, Anusha, for your eloquent narration of grandma's Rasam!

    Dear @Cheeniya Sir

    My nominations for the month of February in no order or importance.

    1. This Is Love by @HariLakhera ji
    Brevity is the key in this beautiful narration of the deep love camouflaged beneath apparent meaningless bickering.

    2. Marriage- The Good, The Bad, (and Nothing Ugly)! by @nuss .
    Coming from a younger generation her post is a good guide for all.

    3. Grandma's Rasam a beautiful tribute to her grandmother by @Anusha2917

    4. @HariLakhera ji's solutions to combat boredom in What Is Common For Neha[15],lavanya[30] ,geetha [50] Sarathy[55]]and Dr.shrikant [75]

    Regards

    Thank you Cheeniya Sir for sharing informative points about Rasam.
    Quite interesting to know that it's most consumed at wedding dinners.

    @kkrish
    Dear kk
    Thanks a lot for your nomination of @HariLakhera 's This Is Love
    It is very tough to describe a relationship through a one to one dialogue. This has been admirably done by Hari. I am a great lover of Hari's style of writing and this one is a masterpiece. The caption and the concluding Hmm simply floored me. :clap2:
