Seabass Dish lovers, there is a clear indicator of one eye missing for Mother’s Day Special Menu. However, when it came as a boneless fillet, we had to do something quickly.

A whole fish is a different ballgame and something which is a small portion for smaller birds requires a bit of crafting.
Some of us are trained by German Shepherds and can cook up a huge meal for an army it seems. But then we have delicate darlings who require a finer touch.
Seabass Lovers in a New York State of Mind
Bludgeoning them may be counterproductive. We have sneaky informants everywhere. So, here’s my dedication to all mothers- older ones, younger ones, non-existent ones. As they say, some mistakes are irreversible.

Should we have waited for a longer discourse of first love, second love, third love and other matches? When it was 30 love, we knew, there was no hope. So, we gave up.
And suddenly, that Seabass fish jumped this way, that way and every other way. Till it landed on a very hard rock. And died a very slow and painful death.
We have a few people admonishing monsters now with vegan meat recipes. I suspect they may not get very far with such a devious and cunning subterfuge.
Dosa and Guna Caves revisited
A laparoscopy which required 4 drills or holes in the stomach is a bit mysterious. Elders were given due respect here but then; we had differing points of view on this.
We had to make do with the ruling mother’s confidence in dominating our man on point with no confidence.

Which group are you aligned with, Narada singing of Sharada. I am being branded as a terrorist again. So, I leave this on the table.
Please, get your own food, clothing, shelter, credit/debit cards, automobiles, groceries, entertainment devices, medical help, domestic help and every other help in between.
You are facing what we call social ostracisation by Chesire cats who wish to protect their puppies, yuppies and guppies. If you say that’s alright, (I love my piece) they may unleash, something else to get you to be ruffled further.
A Defensive Attack is Fine but takes a Toll
Do you wish for some time out to do some detox? Digital detox, toxins detox, parental detox, human detox, any other kind of detox?
Well, some of us can, others cannot. It so happens, that I have a few pets (or pet peeves) sitting on my shoulders, back and also on my knees.

Am I sitting with a whole lot of load of other’s pretended causes and issues to make themselves rise higher in life. Or in the eyes of those they wish to embrace further? (Yikes. Seabass is no good?)
No, it’s a stigma- a flower has that part too, you know.
Anyways, we are done with our debates about educational qualifications and certificates now. It’s time for others to chase that rabbit-hole.

Coming back to some travel plans instead, what are the instruments and tools you need when you are taking some time out in a makeshift apartment? Some of us, are canny enough to get help from others as and when required.

Some of us are unfortunate enough to not be able to return the favours- because the queens wish to wear their crowns.
So, we live with the debt of infinite gratitude of being out of practice with batting and bowling.
Gratitude Journal of a peace keeping Seabass
Apparently, we only need music, dance, art, theater, sports, poetry and divine interventions around noise creating educated men and women trying to educate others.
These family dynamics and politics is something we have learnt to avoid at workplace. So, what does Human Resources team mean when they wish to take care of humans? Is it HR or is it admin?

Bakar Bakar for Kissing Gurami
Interesting question.
- How do they make you feel when you meet them?
- How do they make you feel when you leave them?
- When do you feel really scared?
You are a tenant, and hence last-minute information doesn’t need to bother you. That is the courtesy we extend to such people.
Such is our supreme ego coming from other egoistical tall-ended tales of taller order nexus.
We have live-in maids, you don’t. We have property, you don’t. There’s a mum’s club, you don’t belong there. We have a gym/sports club, you are not a part of that.
Seabass doesn’t require a Bass practice session
You can just simply continue to rant away because guess what. You are such an unlucky sucker for sad tales of bastards who have continuously duped and fooled you in life. (Intervention)
Yes, Mothers also join the war in raping children. We are Children of Lesser Gods. Children of Animals. Children of apparently unpaid migrant Russian labourers where this is blocked. 🙂

Wives/partners of apparently unpaid Soldiers of Fortune. (This is not allowed in flights.)
And yes, how can I forget retired homeless poor soup kitchen survivors who are looking for a blanket for winter holidays donated by others.
I live on borrowed, donated things. I lived off the kindness of others. So kindly keep your vulgar Bulgari and shove it up your ass. Some of us are better at vamp roles on the ramp, it seems.
Meoooowwwwww!
Proudly Indian Fishy declarations
Hence, we have a few catcalls for rats who have no reason to live after eating poisonous cheesy things.
Ganesha spoke to Saraswati finally and said, “Darling, your chapter has quite a few spelling mistakes“. “What to do, you were so busy sitting and gossiping with Lakshmi. Yes, I said Lakshmi not Mahalaxmi or Subbalaxmi.“

Hence, Mr. Kartick had to run off to the Basketball court and show a few more groovy moves to hip-hop music.
Why do you wait till Sunday? What did you do the rest of the week?
We have so many wastrels around who do not do anything of any value. Hence, women like me must continuously shed tears and waters.
That may help unleash the boulders who sit on resources in every goddamned place and sing songs of their own misfortunes.
Restraining orders on Dog and Cat lovers
You got a stye on your eyelid, sweetheart?
Ouch….that’s such an awful lot of paaaaiiiiiiiiin. Pimples are another story for hairstyling divas who have a thing for dimples. I am unfortunately a bit jaded.

There are quite a few who will run away as soon as they see that green thing. Feedback was given- where are the potatoes?
Suits me fine actually, then I get to have it all to myself for this rather quiet weekend enlivened by construction noises all around. (Wow!)
I wanted to watch something called The Witcher recommended by another younger friend. But then, it seems there are way too many things that I want to watch and cannot because of noise and gas pollution. Some of it may be around “Mother’s Day”.
Interruptions and Intervals all around
Heard about how some migratory birds went through the rites and rituals of bullying for what they shared in their tiffin box as well.

Alas, we must bear with such painful memories. Earbud swabs indicate an issue. Why are we not talking about other issues? Seems to be a tactical mistake backfiring to people who are very much in love with their own backsides.
Proposals are awaited- but I often wonder, why ask for proposals from people who are actually doing nothing for the moment but seem super busy when you ask them to work.

Sadly, this is what I have to share with all- we can think we own/manage the entire universe. But we don’t. Many of us need to be mere observers to make these obvious statements.
- What is exactly within your control?
- What can you do today?
Examination observers maybe required in different places and spaces. Can technology help- AI helps there?
Yes, it can. But then, it has limited control sometimes.

And sometimes, people get away with not paying for their mistakes. We all, have to bear the bill.
Giving somebody a poor rating because somebody else did not do the job, is a good way to learn this crucial point about teamwork.

Mama’s favourite or Papa’s favourite exist everywhere. If the whole world worked on actual merit- we might have already reached heaven. This is a bit sweet, sour and spicy. But looks harmless and bland. Might go well with dosas too.
Not our usual Punjabi Chhole Masala. Hmmm….
It seems, I am in hell. Not in heaven. Sooooooooo……let’s figure out a different way to deal with this mess we have created. It is likely to continue for 2-3 more weeks, I am told.
We are leftovers- the outsiders with an inside view. Or so my experience has been. Duti-bound and on the bench till death. Or standby operators when somebody else doesn’t pick up their share of duties.
A simple solution is to seek refuge in a library somewhere close by. It so happens that, I like my privacy when I work as well. So, library doesn’t work for me.
Night outs by Chattering Night Owls
Snoopy society uncles and aunties who wish to give others more solutions, may like to taste some of this non-Merlin spiked drink in the meantime.

Yes, I am a proud kaamwali bai if that makes you feel like a hero, Mr Zero. I may not like to make chai unfortunately, unless you pay some due respect. I earn an honest living. You abused my love for Seabass.
If you talk about abuse, let me also share about being raped myself and then abandoned. Let’s talk about abortions and then abandoned. Let’s talk some more about sweet words shared over tea/coffee for more gossip and then abandoned.
So, to all you assholes who have more gyaan to give to me and other unfortunates like me, kindly do some good karma now. And do not wave that useless flag of dharma.
I am not up for adoption and neither is my spouse. He may be dead– but I await confirmation. And I live in the hope meanwhile.
Date Nights recommended
I’m working on a top-secret mission of stirring up the hornet’s nest. A cuckoo came and stole my nest eggs and claimed to be a well-wisher. Something stinks horribly all around. There must be a reason why.

The prince of no-good magazines has decided to unleash more of such horrible warfare all around. It seems Queen Victoria has risen from the Deadly Hollows as well. (You mean Deathly Hallows?)
We have impossible creativity around about extinct birds in New Zealand while there is one little bee trying to work silently. Told multiple times- we are not needed. Get lost.
Meditation techniques don’t work sometimes, when the attack is premeditated. I wish to be part of the Ready Fire Aim team as well- said some people. They were earlier more prone to slow and steady deliberations. Unfortunately, not everybody is suited for that role.
Why Seabass why not Hilsa
So much of elementary education is required.

Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches are not my usual cuppa tea. But I have nurtured and fostered those who loved them. And then, faced the ire of the little man in the Shire complaining about no seabass.
And then the ones I protected and fostered turned around to stab me in return for my kindness. So, just do your own thing. What do I know?
How is this website any different from others? I was questioned repeatedly.
And I still have no answer. Because what I tried to say repeatedly, is that it is not different. We are trying to promote some sense and sensibility with a more customised approach to good conversations over food, food recipes, food and travel, food and art with those who are able to share and care.

It’s just a platform for those who are not indifferent or believe in the very ancient philosophy that there is no difference in what some men and women want out of life. A bit of a romantic notion. But we do try to help spread the word. Seabass is also called bhetki, barramundi or bekti I believe.

It is not restricted to one region, religion, sect, age-group or dietary restrictions as of now. I have my own personal bias but so do other contributors. No judgment. 🙂
We invite more of genuine foodie subscribers, collaborators and contributors.

Plagiarised Korean Haiku
Mother of Mine you gave to me
A whole lot of rubbish too
I took the good seabass with the bad
However, it’s not so late to declare
I do have a right to some independence
Somewhere somehow, I am held back
Every time I try to step forward, I sense a need
To then step backwards
Side stepping issues have not been put on this plate
They escape with a few words
While I live to deal with the sour curds.
