yesterday, today & tomorrow

Yesterday,  it was 5th of July.  Maybe all 3 of us liked being home, at least I liked it so------ after the trip to Maine. I listened to bou-di for the much-talked-about beguner tarkari with alu, barbati & coconut chips, jotted down all that I could grasp &  put the same in 'Words'  in PC & e-mailed to Runi.      Runi was happy to have the recipe.

A young  girl named Srabani, who resides in New Jersey area had already come to Boston. She as well as her elder sister had tutions from dada in Cossipore perhaps or maybe Ichapore. Their father is a colleague of dada .

Srabani availed this opportunity to meet all of us  (Yash was already out for work, however, meanwhile). She came to our house here at about 11 A.M along with Aritra whom she would marry in next January, in India, Kolkata  (if I am correct). The previous night, they saw the festivals of the 4th July i.e  fireworks over the Charles river  & were highly impressed.     Bou-di prepared:------ Illisher tel, machher (Illish) dim bhaja, dal-bhat, lau ghonto with illish macher muro & Illisher jhol.      Srabani & Aritra   had the khana & looked liked people who are under feelings of  deza vu----- I think,  on account of the dishes they seldom can get taste of. I also was delighted to taste such delicacies. Yash is to be thanked for picking up the right piece of  Illish mach

Fruit dishes:  Persimon  (A  fruit new for me, brought fm mkt by Runi). In the Brk fast, I tasted blackberries.

In the evening Runi prepared Rosgolla &  I ate 2 pcs. 10 out 10  marks she gets from me for the Rosogolla. How does she manage to do all such things? Yash says that  her Bengalee self  is roused when she prepares Rosogollas.

Today,  (6th),  we thought of going to Ramakrishna mission, Boston--- not very far fm here; but, Yash/Runi  infmd us that   RK Mission is now closed for summer. However, I e-mailed to Maharaj & he advised us to come on 15th July (The Gurupurnima day) for attending the festival & darshan of the temple. Also, potluck dinners would be avlble. on the said day. We are hopeful to attend, if  all other things r in favor.

Tomorrow   (7th July) ------  I will send blog.
