i had friends over two nights ago. This was the menu:
Apple and pear salad with feta, olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing
Sabudana wada's with cilantro, green chillies and yogurt dip
Plaintain chips (store bought, Goya)
Chicken kababs
Eggplants and peanut curry
Jeera rice
Dessert - Vanilla icecream with mango sauce with a hint of mint.
Much laughter, conversation and wine later, we came up with a tentative business plan. It involves my unlicensed amazingly good masseuse friend, another super duper baker friend and me in a joint venture. Picture this: Our gentle customer would be greeted with a spice infused light tea while he/she/insert gender bender signifier waits. Then the relaxing hour long massage, after which you sat down to a home cooked south Indian lunch, which would be healthful and tasty, and rounded off your day at our place with one of my baker friend's creation. Oh ya and also you could, only if you want, buy homemade lip balm.
The experience best exemplified in the poster for our yet unnamed place:
See, you first start with gentle massage in bed as depicted in figure 1a, then some more gentle choking action after the ingestion of food and desert as in figure 1b. and finally you emerge feeling fresh and sexy as in figure 1c. - you, my gentle customer, are Sexy Girl.
We also cater. Thank you come again.
Hey libertad, thanks for your nice comment. I will be working on the changing discourse of human rights and the role of documentary film in it. Hopefully, I can sneak in some traveling and eating for fun trips too in between interviewing people.
Thanks Lauren, for your words.
Oh Swati good luck and have fun! I am sure it is crazy stressful but it's worth it :)
How sad I do not have any money to buy your nice things. Please keep posting. It is nice to see what you look like before you take off. What kind of research will you be doing in India?
