Sweet Dish – Something which my Mother made Tasty and Different…Ma's Homely Kalakand

This is a simple Sweet Dish which my Ma made and how we relished it.

…and I made this specially when my milkman gave me large quantities of milk that curdled in his huge milk can during the peak summer days.

Knowing very well that he would not return with the curdled milk, he would come to me and ask if I would like to have some and that too without paying for it. He travelled long distance from early morning distributing the required quantity in different homes.

Festive time and all the sweet thoughts go hand-in-hand with the sweets that are savoured. Some say, “joto misti khabe touto misti bolbe (the more sweets you eat the more sweetly you speak).” I can only say, “ke jane baba (who knows)”, for if there would have been so much truth in this then people would have eaten more sweets to speak sweetly…no quarrels, no bad words, no shower of harshness in the speak, and, only love and love would flow like a sweet syrup. If sweets could do this JADOO, then there would be no wars and we would be in peace with our neighbours and our politicians would not go and sit for Peace Talks. There would be no loss of innocent lives due to anger and hatred.
