| Sunday Chicken Memories |
I still remember the fragrance of the Chicken Curries that used to dot our para during the childhood years.Especially those Sundays, when we used to be in the playground from the morning till afternoon and all the houses in the locality used to buzz with the glorious aroma of Chicken er jhol. Running back home after playing, a couple of small pieces of chicken and a slice of potato used to be the perfect starter for the lunch that used to follow.
Sunday’s chicken was special because it was preceded by an entirely “vegetarian” Saturday and it was something that we totally lost during the hostel years and the years of bachelorhood that ensued.
There are certain memories that last forever, and these treasures remained hidden for quite a while, when with the advent of this years summer, I decided to prepare Chicken on a Sunday. It felt like home, though home was miles away. But it rekindled some old days, which we lay hitherto hidden.
