Blunders make us to learn many things...
But not in my case all the time, i keep doing the same mistake.
But one of my blunder taught me cooking..yes here am penning down what made me learn to cook :-)
After my 6th standard i have been away from my sweet home...was in my aunt's house,hostel..so am always guest when i go home..my mom does not allow me to do anything...i know all momz are the same...she never let me cook nor even taught me or may be i was not all that intersted in cooking..So after finishing my engineering i came to Bangalore in search of Job and was staying with my cousins..Six of us in a small house ... it was like match box... if any guests comes home..one of my cousin had to go to his friends place to sleep....we were 3 sisters and 3 brothers staying in that Kutti house.
In that 4 of us were in search of job... one of my sis was doing her final year project in one of the company in Bangalore and other brother also had finished his M.tech (mechanical)... other cousin was from engineering...hope am not telling story like in K series serials. So by the time my sis used to come home it used to be 8P.M and she had cook for all 6 people.It used to become really late... So my brother who is very good at cooking started to cook for us... Usually we used to cook more sambar so that it comes for the next day.So this was making me feel guilty because my bro was cooking and am having its so odd...he is one of the sweetest bro on earth who would never let me do any work.
One day finally i had to make a blunder which made me to learn cooking..as usual he had prepared sambar and just we had to heat it, cook rice. Rice was done. I kept the sambar vessel on the stove and as if i am a very experienced i started cleaning the house..trying for multi tasking like my sis. My famous absent mindedness made me forget about the sambar...later my bro came said something is burning...here my tubeli8 mind remembers about sambar and everything is burnt...oh god first of all my bro is cooking...then i burnt sambar also....that day i felt even more bad...my bro had to cook again for us...then from next day i observed everything and started cooking under the guidance of him....now also i use his ratio while putting chilli powder and sambar powder 1:2....hats off to my sweet bro...now if someone ask about cooking i say i can manage. something is better than nothing....sometimes i get compliments for my recipes from my roommates now....

Dear Little Cooker.
I am sure you are blessed with the best bro. I believe most of the people who had stayed out of home, would have dont these mistakes during the early stages. Few of the lines makes me think of the days when i was with my friends and the days when we cooked for food.
nice start.. Keep going..
Cheers
