Vathakulambu and Thair satham

I finally shifted to my new apartment yesterday night. I was a bit tired after shifting and it was already 8 PM.

Then a friend offered us a ride to Walmart for buying the start up groceries.

I had already been to Walmart once. But it never stopped to amaze me mainly because of the size and wide varieties that are available for each item.

Its somewhat like 'saravana store' in the US. But I don't think they compromise on quality here.

We took an almost impossible '2 hours' to complete our shopping and got most of the stuff we wanted. We had filled up two big carts and got tired of pushing them around.

Finally we finished and thought we might have busted around 500$ , but..... we found that the bill was only 200$ .Wow cost of living is really less in Texas.

all done we returned home in my friends car and unloaded it. We were all tired and very hungry.
We then cleaned the kitchen a bit and then put all the perishable stuff in fridge.

Anyway why is this blog called 'Vathakulambu and Thair satham'???????? i didn't read abt it till now.

Thats because we finally finished everything and then made rice and had it with 'vathakulambu ready mix ' got from back home. Although it wasn't anywhere close to the original it tasted better than one under the circumstances. Then we had the anytime food 'thayir sadham'(actually 'yogurt sadham') and went to sleep.

Most often its some inconsequential thing that defines your day. Similarly its 'Vathkulambu and thayir sadham' that defined my day AND THIS BLOG.
