Owing to my ultra-healthy and sometimes uneven growth, I have decided, for the benefit of mankind, that I will not eat rice at night. This resolution will hopefully extend to the other parts of the day as well, but I want to start with the night – that is when we eat the maximum* and mostly we eat rice.

This resolution is subject to the following Terms and Conditions:

1. This is applicable only when I eat at my house and not when I am invited (or I offer) to eat at others places, for example.
2. If the food is too good, there can be exceptions.
3. If the curry made cannot be taken with rice (or worse, if it is just rasam), it will be rice. However I will make my utmost effort to have just chapathis, with pickle or curd. I will also, with utmost sincerity, try to convince the cook to make some vegetables for my cahpathis.
4. I reserve the right, at my sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms and Conditions, at any time. It is your responsibility to check these terms periodically for changes.

So, now, wish me luck with my new venture…

* Eat the maximum because that’s when we eat Indian food. We can, theoretically, do the same for other times of the day. Well theory is just theory.
