I'm still laughing bhai. This was amazing!

I just have 2 questions

1. Were you able to eat Tamatar Tum Tum?

2. Did your wife proof read this before publishing😂

This seems to be a common problem, my sister is always complaining about this 😅.

I have somehow managed it well, it maybe because I cook the meals at home and people don't have a choice but to eat. 😜

Hahahaha. I make Tamater Tum Tum!! Only I go a step further and blend it. Then it becomes an chutney for idli.

Tamater Tum Tum Chutney. Add it to your idli breakfast grid cell :D

Flummoxed are you Anchita? They do not teach it in Management schools or perhaps they do.

If they don't teach it, they should!

Also, young people is quite subjective. The truly young will probably roll their eyes at the mention of whiteboards and marker pens - they'll likely use an app.

Haha! I tried making something like that with poached eggs. I should call it 'Tamatar Shakshuka Tum Tum'

This was so much fun to read, and I could feel the pain of having to decide.

And man, I am not looking forward to deciding what to eat tomorrow. I sometime dread the days I come back from work, and sit with my two flatmates to decide what to eat.

Breakfast is the easiest of the lot, to be honest. We just eat the same thing everyday.

Thanks for reading Ganesh!
