Unconditional Love

Is unconditional love humanly possible?

Well, I dont know if it is humanly possible, but its a very natural thing for the gentle 4 legged creatures.. Dogs...

I have a beautiful pet. His name is tuffy. He has the most gentle big brown eyes and a 'i dint do anything' kind of a look, especially when he has done something wrong.

All his life, he has been never left alone for more than 2 hours at a stretch. So when he moved in with us, he would be very upset when we wouldnt be at home for long hours. He would have a sad look on his face when we left. And we will be damn sure he will be upto no good in our absense. He would topple his food or climb on the bed which he is not allowed to do when we are around. He would be very upset when we left him and went.

But when we return, all that is forgotten and he is so happy to see us. He comes and licks our faces and ears, and bites our socks and gets anything in his mouth that is within reach, even pillows! haha..

He is so thrilled even when we just go to the shop nextdoor and return in 2 minutes! His tail just does not stop to wag!

He is so adorable and lovable..

This is unconditional love.. Loving without expecting anything in return..

Tuffy is so happy to see us everytime we return, though we upset him by our absence.

And when we return from a busy day at work, it is such a good stress buster, to see his happy face, eagerly waiting to lick our faces and so glad that we are back.

Tuffy is such a darling.

Our baby tuffy...

Mouth watering Biryani...........

I would always wonder, if too much of a favourite thing would destroy the novelty of that fav thing and it wouldnt remain favourite anymore..

And then I stopped wondering...

Coz I came to know that it is not true..

Atleast in my case;
and same is the case with my hubby Ravi and my friend Ashok....

We are fans of Biryani and Andhra Style Chilli Chicken prepared at Nagarjuna....

Humble interiors, ever attentive servers who are ready to fill your plate even before you put your last morsel in your mouth... The ultimate thing served there is the chicken biryani and chilli chicken.

My mouth is watering as I am writing this blog!

The taste is so amazing and unique, and the taste has never varied in all these years. As we go there and make ourselves comfortable and order for food even without asking for the menu card, we wait there in sweet anticipation for the food to arrive. The wait is almost like as if someone is waiting at a station for a loved one to arrive!! haha

Finally when the food arrives, the first morsel going into the mouth tingles every taste bud and all of us instantly so busy feeling the flavour, enjoying the flavour, devouvering the food and praising the cook and literally thanking God and any other forces that go into creating such a delicacy... we all sit silently and just concentrate on eating... chomp chomp chomp... slurp slurp slurp....

Everytime we friends meet, our default place for lunch is Nagarjuna, either on Residency Road or Jaynagar. Like a horse with blinders who dont see here and there, we all decide upon Nagarjuna... and dont even think of any other place..

I strongly recommed this place to every biryani lover and chilli chicken lover who can tolerate any amount of spice.... I would say, even if one cant tolerate too much spice, one has to eat here. Coz its worth the trouble the spice would cause....!!

My words have not done justice to the food at Nagarjuna. So readers, please try the food at Nagarjuna...
