Last year, my mum and I was invited to a neighbour house for Deepavali dinner. This year, I did not bump into the neighbour before Deepavali. So I ask my mum if she wants to pay the neighbour a visit during Deepavali.
On Deepavali day itself, told my mum we go around 1pm. But at 10.30am, she insist on going to the neighbour house. Earlier on, she told me she saw from the window, the neighbour went out. So I told her, since the neighbour went out, we go later, she insist want to go.
When we knock at the neighbour door, I was embarrass as early in the morning, we were there. The son open the door and told us his father not in, went to call the mum (neighbour wife), we went into his house. Me still feeling paiseh for being early.
The wife mention the husband has gone out to buy chicken to cook briyani. As the previous day, could not get hold of chicken. The wife then ask my mum if she wants tosai, my mum ok, so a tosai for each of us.
The husband then ask us to come back at around 6pm for briyani dinner. 5.30pm, my mum wants to go neighbour house. Homecooked chicken briyani by his wife.
After eating, my mum wanted to go back, told her we sit a while first before going back as I find that if after eating, we leave the place, not so nice. At least sit and chit chat a while before leaving will be better.
