Rainy day Khi(n)chudi/Khichdi -- tastes the best

My rainy day mood says:

Brishti pore tapur tupur

Khi(n)chudi dilo daak

Aaye Didi ranna korbi aaye

Tor dibo shaath

In English this will read like this...

It is raining pittar patter

Khi(n)chudi came calling

Come Didi cook the dish

I’ll give you company.

It is raining ‘Pitter Patter’ and not the ‘Cats and Dogs’ type. But the clouds are playing the game of ‘Cat and Mouse’...visible now and then lost somewhere. 

Tom and Jerry would have loved this game of Chakka Panja of the clouds and the sky. Who can question the clouds, “How many litres or gallons of water are you carrying on your back and how much will you pour on us?” The clouds can answer in a thunderous voice, but who can read the great noise of thunder.

It’s better to enjoy the rainy day and cook a quick meal. Know what? Simply half an hour and the Khi(n)chudi/Khichdi and hot pakoras are ready. Hear what the Quick Meal said:

Khi(n)chudi dake khi(n)churi dake,

Aaye khabi aaye,

Achaar pokuri-r sathe amar saad

Aaro bede jai

Sweet and Sour Mango Pickles/Achaar

English version:

Khi(n)chudi comes calling

Come and savour me

With achaar and pakoras

The taste is the best.

And then...I’m off for a nap...
