Parippuvada

a devotee brought parippuvada to amma during darshan. the moment she opened the vessel. the smell of curry leaves and dal fried in pure coconut oil filled the darshan stage.  yummm.. my nostrils flared in appreciation. looking at amma i told her, it’s very good. very good smell. i took a lung full of air. uuuuuumhhhh

amma took one parippuvada in each hand. she took a bite from her right hand. then. feeling that the one in her left hand was bigger and will feel sad. she took a bite from the left hand. then one from the right hand, then again from the left. amma was looking at each piece and weighting it before going for a bite. what a cute little girl she was for a few moments. all this time, the devotee who brought the parippuvada was in amma’s lap.
amma fed the parippuvada to the devotee and distributed it to all on the stage.
