Pati sapta..

It was Makar Sankranthi.. I wished Raj's Parents and with complete confidence in voice asked his mom, so, you prepared Pati sapta today?
His mom's face just glowed listening to that.. She seemed very impressed with me for knowing the name of a bong sweet so well..
She then said, yes yes.. i did and it has come out very well.. I'll surely teach you how it is prepared..

We then spoke a bit about Sankranthi and a few other things and left from there.. On the way back, Raj was still tooo curious to know how i could remember the name 'Pati shapta'.. He said, " I must tell you, i'm so impressed that you learnt bengali so soon.. How the hell did u manage to remember the name of that sweet and use it at the right time?''

"Anything for you.." I said and we continued the ride.. :-)

Oh By the way.. did u know that 'Paati' means 'Grandma' and 'Saapta' means 'ate' in Tamil..?

What?? and you all thought i have a strong inclination to learn Bengali..?? ;-)
