New year - Mumbai Style (Gudi Padwa) .. but we had ...

Today in the state of Maharashtra, people celebrtae the Marathi New Year named "Gudi Padwa" with people having holidays and festivities all around, it seemed as if the whole of Mumbai was taking a holiday. My friend Satya also had a leave and Bidur, the greatest cook on Earth had cooked Mutton, a spicy mutton curry popularly cooked in almost all over India. I had cooked Kadhi, but it seemed no one got interested in it, as Mutton curry was really good.

Thailand will be celebrating its new year in a few days from now, on 13-14 April. In Thailand I got an opprtunity to eat mutton only once, my friend had taken me to a Muslim Food Restaurant, where I had a rice mutton plate which was very similar to our Biryani.

In Vietnam I had mutton, where it was eaten barbequed, nothing strange people in SE Asia hardly eat Mutton, with the exception of Muslim population.

Nice day. Nice mutton dish with rice and a long afternoon siesta, Great Tea... now back to job search.
