That incredible golden feeling.....

My friend Priyadarshan Kale is an expert connoisseur and imbiber of traditional food , and knows where to source the best variety in Mumbai. He enjoys his food and then posts pictures on FB.

This time, as a professional corporate type, he paid attention to the Finance Minister announcing the features of the budget, but was not to be found, soon after the minster announced an enhancement in the duty free allowance on golden things.

वित्तमंत्र्यांनी उठून संसदेत सांगितले कि "मंडळी, आता तुम्ही ज्यास्त सोने आणू शकता…." आणि राजाभाऊ धावले ! आत सोनेरी गोडव्यानी काठोकाठ भरलेली केशव विनायक , गिरगाव , यांच्याकडे माहेर असणारी मउसूत पुरणपोळी , सोनेरी डाळीत एकजीव होउ पाहणारी पण आपले भविश्यात्ले सोनेरी आयुष्य विसरून, स्वतःला समर्पित करणारी कैरी आणि लोणचे मसाला योग साधून तिखट लोकांशी गप्पा करणारी तिची दुसरी मैत्रीण …. सोनेरी तुपाची नाजूक धार पुरण्पोळीवर पडली, आणि राजाभाऊ संतुष्ट होउन म्हणाले, "वाह! चिदम्बरम, वाह! …! बजेट असावा तर असं ! "

The Finance Minister announced in Parliament an increase in the amount of gold you could bring in to the country duty free, but Rajabhau heard only the word "gold" ! And he arrived home, with soft Puranpolis, from their Maika at Keshav Vinayak, Girgaon, filled to the brim and all the edges, with sweet golden Puran. Awaiting him was Golden Waatli dal, celebrating the union of freshly soaked Chana Dal, bashful, in a crush, on seeing the season's kairi falling all over it in fine shreds, ignoring, its own golden mango future. While some other Kairis preferred to flirt with the spicy and hot types in a pickle. A fine stream of golden melted ghee spreading in joy all over the Puran Poli, and RajaBhau, looked up, at the television, smiled, and said , "Wah, Chidambaram, Wah ! What a budget! What a budget!"
