Hai Ram! The mathri was for Diwali next week! Now half of them are broken and have cat paw prints. I cannot give those to guests, no? What will they think? “Aunty is feeding us cat food?”
Even if you are wearing a petticoat and your hair is loose, always keep the daal lid heavy on the top shelf. And never trust a cat who smiles.
Aunty
He looked at me like, “Aunty, what are you looking at? This is my house now.”
My steel dabba – the big one, the one I keep the homemade mathri in – has fallen from the top shelf. Opened. And sitting right next to it, with ghee on his whiskers, is the fattest, most shameless ginger cat I have ever seen in my life. aunty in petticoat.peperonity.com
So, let me tell you what happened this morning.
Stay safe. Keep your petticoat strings tight. Hai Ram
So now I am sitting here with my third cup of chai, eating the broken mathri myself (don’t judge, waste not want not), and typing this post.
I think, “Chor? Lizard? Or that naughty Sharma boy from next door who keeps kicking his football into my tulsi pot?” I cannot give those to guests, no
