Lost in the Kitchen !!!!!!!

What you do when you are alone at home?
No, i am not talking about interesting things but the nasty things like preparing food for yourself.
Boys hardly pay visit to kitchen unless there is some extreme emergency.Same is case with me.Although visiting kitchen and getting acquainted with it are two entirely different things.Former is watching a pretty girl and latter understanding what she actually wants.Although a crude analogy but one can understand the tragedy.I too had to undergo the trauma of knowing the kitchen,it was like you are left alone in a jungle.The only difference is here you are thinking "what to prey upon?" than in jungle where you are stressed by "who is going to prey upon you?".
Another crude analogy indeed!
When i got rendezvous with our kitchen i felt amazed by most ubiquitous thing in any kitchen "the modular racks".I am gonna kill the person who invented this modular kitchen thing.He must be a puzzle freak,as most of the time i spent in the kitchen, was spent opening the drawers,racks searching,closing hen again next one.This whole exercise sucked most of my physical as well as mental energy.


Nevertheless i persisted then the next surprise was "the almirah".Some people have hobby of collecting things like postal stamps,coins etc etc,but my mom has hobby of collecting pickles,as i understood by seeing her collection.Mango, Amla,Lemon,and what not she has got every pickles that has been invented


After recovering from pickles,i caught "spice flu".Name any spice and herb my mother's kitchen has got it ,i think so.In fact I thought i have lost my ability to smell after struggling among the spices.


The next thing waiting to bedazzle me was the boxes with what not,sugar,salt,every specie of pulses existing on this earth,wheat,all varieties of rice ever grown in the plains of Chhattisgarh,sauces,chutneys,dried vegetables etc etc.


If this was not enough her collection of crockery,steel wares,frying panes,plates of every diameter,and every utensil you can think off.
The microwave , the Electromagnetic heater,Mixer grinder(although she has also a ancient style grinder made of stone),Food processor,Refrigerator,Gas stove etc made me think that i have landed on some NASA Lab.

My Lil sister too had played her part in making my mind go awry.Her own store with all fast food preparatory materials added to already troubled waters.
Anyways i conquered upon all the difficulties and emerged from that jungle(read kitchen)victorious with some boiled eggs and bread.I know that very less but that all i could manage with the remaining mental energy.
