French Toast
The french toast brings back memories of my father whom we called Anna. A very sweet humble, God fearing affectionate person. Very witty, oneliners would just come naturally to him. Beautiful handwriting he had, I have many geetings written by him kept away, to just look at them whenever I miss him. He was a man of very few words, he expressed all with his eyes only. We were used to this to such an extent, that we instantly understood what he needed at a particular time just by the way he looked at it, be it a glass of water or his spectacles or the newspaper. Once he got it, an instant thank you and a sweet smile would appear on his face.
I got married young and he always looked forward to the days he would be spending with me here in Mumbai. He never stayed for more than four to five days though. As the day approached for his return, he would start counting hours and minutes and just look at me and smile. He specially loved all items of egg made by me, this being one of them. The last time he visited me was for a little longer time, as though he knew he would not come again. One day, he comes to me sheepishly and says,"Beena you have surpassed your mother in cooking, your mother is not around so I am telling you this!" The smile appears again. One of the best compliments a daughter could get from a father.
