If I have to talk about a time when someone visited my home, then it would definitely be the time when my best friend paid me a visit to my hometown. It was almost 6 months ago since I requested my very intimate friends Sidharth for dinner at my house. It happened in December, during winters, on the Xmas Eve, my friend’s family is an expatriate inhabited at a far distant place from home. Since I did not want him to stay alone on Xmas, I invited him to celebrate the Xmas with my family and be a part of the family dinner.

My friend is a south Indian guy, and since he didn’t have the traditional cuisine of the northern region i.e. Sarson ka Saag, my mother chose to make it for him that day.


However, one funny thing happened that night, actually, all of the cooking instruments at my residence were electricity based, even the stove. But that day, all of a sudden there was a blackout in the area due to some problem in the power station, and that too right before the time of dinner. So, when Sidharth got to my home, none of the dishes were ready. I felt pretty flustered, but to my surprise, Sidharth was rather chilled about it.

My dad went out to buy something for us to eat from the nearby restaurant. We were talking and playing Antakshari while waiting for the electricity to return. We had completely astonishing moments while talking about the cultural contrasts, how friendly north Indian people are, and how he is able to gel with us despite the language barrier .

Nevertheless, we got to taste the Saag after a delay of about 2-hour. Even though it tasted different from the way m mom used to make due to haste, my friend seems to enjoy it immensely. Since that day onwards he became a family member to us, my parents cherish him just like me.
