Life in times of dengue

So the mosquitoes strike again! My mom and sis are down with dengue. I have remained relatively unscathed, much to every one's surprise. The problem is, I am in charge of the kitchen right now!

Well, you need not pray for the souls who are going to eat the dishes I prepare, though I would always prefer someone else cooking. I am fairly non-dangerous,and the dishes I prepare are always on the safe side of law.

The thing is I hate to cook. I mean, I hate someone else directing me when I cook something. Just give me a few general directions on how to go about the dish and I will pull it off. But I get put off when someone (like mom or dad, who else!) closely scrutinise my cooking.

And I have my own tastes, some of which are not necessarily appreciated by the rest of the family.My sister said today morning that the chutney was not particularly good, but she ate three idlis (for almost the first time in her life, mind you!) in the morning with it.

But I still hate cooking!
