I turned to you
For sunny day relief in the form of buttermilk and lassi
I turned to you
For making meals more edible, especially with veggies I don’t like or those that aren’t what my taste palette enjoys
I turned to you
For working as a condiment with roti, paratha, thepla, rice, and just about anything, when I was lazy to prepare a sabzi or when I didn’t find anything else
I turned to you
For enabling everything to go smoothly on important occasions to weave your fortuitous nature in the form of dahi-cheeni
I turned to you
For adding that wholesome and healthy quotient to my meals
I turned to you
For familiarity during travels when I didn’t understand the other meal options
I know I’m not a fan of some of your variations,
Especially your froyo and flavored versions,
But by now you know I prefer being vanilla (No! not your version of it)
At least in this case
Thank you
For being that one constant in my life I can count on,
Thank you,
For tolerating my aversion to your extended family
Thank you
For making my meals tastier, healthier and edible
I hope you’ll continue to be your amazing and original self
Because without you my days and meals are just not the same

When we talk about Yogurt/Curd to other races, they may look at us like a tribal human! But when western propaganda catches them, they’ll drink with much devotion as a tirtam!! 🙂

I think westerners are catching on.
At least in Europe I see yogurt as a daily consumable. Also, of course, there’s the fancy froyo which is quite the rave in US

Give me Dahi anytime man, any variation, I’ll gobble it up. Sometimes I even put it on my hair 🫣

I do that too. But only when I’m in India. Here if I do that I’ll keep sneezing and coughing the whole year 😂
And as a food item, dahi is a must for me in lunch. Dinner too, depending on what’s the main dish 😁
