Winter is the time when you can see real beauties in the market – fresh green and colourful veggies makes the sight real beautiful. Winter veggies have their own charm and taste. As a kid, I used to accompany Baba to the market every Sunday morning, specially during the winter season. Baba used to judge every vegetable properly and me, wondering what he is inspecting so minutely, literally day-dream about what are the probable things that Maa could cook today. While coming back from the market, that was the topic of discussion of the ultimate foodie father-daughter duo. The rickshaw-pullers used to call “Babu jaben?” (want to go Sir?) and Baba used to approach any one of them and once the fair had been decided, first he would take me in his arms and make me sit on the rickshaw, then place the bag full of veggies and fish/meat in front of me and say “eta bhalokore dhorbe” (hold it properly) and then he would jump and sit next to me. Looking at the bag, I always found that a bunch of fresh green peyajkoli (spring onion) holding their heads high and peeping out of the bag. As the rickshaw start, the cold winter breeze used to flap those green beauties. I am still day-dreaming about what Maa would cook today.
