Last night we had a family dinner to celebrate my ma in law’s 94th birthday. A lady who hates a fuss and is always reluctant to be the centre of attention was quite agitated the whole week when she heard that we had just called the family to bring in her 95th year. But we ignored her wishes to ignore her birthday and called over the immediate family to dinner.

As the family was munching on the starters, I went inside the kitchen to look for some extra spoons. And there! Amongst all the other tableware, I found this long-handled spoon in the drawer! I was quite amazed because it was just weeks ago that I went to Bhaji Gulley looking for such spoons and learnt that they were called Amitabh Bachhan spoons.

How thrilled I was to find one sitting in my kitchen all this while. And after some more rummaging, I found another one albeit smaller than its country cousin .

The family couldn’t fathom my wide smile as I stepped out of the kitchen with the extra spoons. And my helpers laughed in disbelief when I told them that we had two Amitabh Bachchan’s in the drawer .

Ciao,
