America living desi aunty gets whatsapp image on screen. Her college-from-home child is also looking at the image. Child: Is that a wedding ? Mummy (controlling laughter): why would you ask that ? Child: Bride on the left ? Mummy (almost ready to burst out): who do you think is the bride? Child: The one with bindi, and lots of garlands ? Mummy (gives up):
I called my Arab friend home for a traditional 'Onam Sadya'.(traditional lunch) The Arab friend asked me: "Is the Onam lunch Veg or Non veg?" I told him: "It's Vegetarian, are you coming? " He said he would come... . And he came and sat for the 'Sadya' (lunch). I placed the traditional big banana leaf and a glass of water in front of him to serve the Onam lunch, and went inside to bring the Onam meal. When I came back, my Arab friend ate the big banana leaf and drank the water, and said: "Masha Alla ... Thamam... This is the first time I have ever eaten such a big leaf as 'salad' ..." *HAPPY ONAM!*
