Oh! Those were the simple days. It is an all-generation quote on which every generation has a copyright. And not off the mark either. Growing up in the swinging 70s had an ineffable lightness to it.

My wife and I were returning back home after devouring some vitamin D directly from the source when she spotted fresh green methis or as scientists would call it as Trigonella foenum-graecum, and she couldn’t resist herself. “We shall make aloo methi today for lunch,” she said.

The signs were ominous. Armed with three different cloth dusters, an apron and a bandana, actually a dupatta wrapped around her head, my wife was once again on her spring cleaning mission.
