If some one asked me the question "Have u ever been to the kitchen ?" my answer would ve been "NO" til last week. But thn came the day which made me cook for ma aunt and uncle(poor species on earth. I tested my cooking skills on them). Here goes the actual incident of me trying out ma hand at cooking. My mom and dad go out to a wedding party. Me and ma sis sit at home putting lacha. Someone knocks at the door. I go open the door and find ma aunt and uncle. I call ma mom asking her to come soon and get something done for them. But she gets caught with her friends in the wedding hall and asks us(me and ma sister) to manage it. Poor gals! faced with a tough challenge now. My aunt offers to help us. But we were egoistic enuf to turn it down and try it ourselves. My aunt goes out to get things for pooja the next day. V both search for vegetables and could find jus tomato and onion. I start cutting the vegetables. My sis starts making the dough for roti. I light the stove and put some oil and fry the onion and tomoto together.(I ve seen dis being done in some programmes in TV) Then some salt and chilli powder. Now i turn arnd and look for something more to be added. But other items in the kitchen seem to be unfamiliar. I thought i can stop here and serve them though i was not sure if i was done. But then my sis was done with roti. So do i(my assumption though and i was so hungry ready to risk my prep). I serve the roti and my "tomato bla" (donno how to name the dish, so i named it disway...and seems to suit it too) to ma aunt and uncle.
I dint let out t fact to ma uncle and aunt tat it was ma first try. I was waiting for them to run to the washbasin and puke thr.. but my uncle seems to enjoy the dinner. And now he turns to ma aunt to speak out something. I was quite sure of wat he was abt to tel her. Uncle : " This tomato curry(oh! here s a better name. The credit goes to ma uncle for giving such a decent name to it) tastes awesome. Learn how to cook frm Malini" ..aahh wat an unexpected compliment. I was waiting for criticisims for ruining the dinner but was praised by ma uncle. Atlast ma mission turns out to be a grand success and now i confess the fact to ma uncle tat it was my first try and i pretended to be honest :P

Welcome to the domain of cooking.
Maybe we should request the BITS senate to make cooking a CDC... It would be a life-saving skill - both for the students and for their poor relatives. :P
@CVK - hehe.. yeah good idea. v can actually suggest dis to the institute. atleast juniors can b rescued from atish's food..:D
the important qn is: how were they feeling the next day? :P
