We experienced torrential rains during the past month and even though it stopped, we still get intermittent rains. These unexpected sporadic spells of rain disturbs work and daily work routines. It is difficult for us to step outside due to these monsoonal rains. But of course, there is ample time for my home cooking of my favourite dishes to feed my brother and grandmother with love. So, I started to cook slowly that afternoon.

The moment I stepped into the kitchen after cleaning and washing the prawns which I had received in the morning, suddenly my brother said that it was about to rain and that he was too lazy to eat rice for lunch, and he wanted soup. But his weather prediction came after checking the sunny skies without even a distant sign of rain. I smell something cheeky about this guy. Somehow, he had spoken to my grandmother and had convinced her after putting the idea of the soup craving also, thereafter only that he came closer to whisper into my ears about his soup craving. Of course, I obliged his request with love as he is my little brother. After all, where can he enjoy his favourite food except, only from home? I am sure that other elder sisters also go soft in front of their little brothers' requests in life.

I started to wash the vegetables and got ready to make the soup. I cooked the soup with a combination of vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, leeks, beans, cabbage, and tomatoes. Some cut the vegetables into small chunks for this soup. But I cut them into bite-sized chunks since the soup is for lunch. I barbecued the cleaned and seasoned prawns in skewers, with pieces of bell pepper even though my brother asked me to put the prawns into the soup. it was a coincidence indeed as the moment I kept the soup on the stove to be cooked, torrential rain started to fall, confirming my brother's earlier weather prediction. what a telepathic mouth he has.

While I was making the soup, my brother also came with some fried crackers. His Mung crackers which he had fried in oil were very tasty and looked good as well. All of us enjoyed the soup and the crackers amidst the spell of that rain. It was such a pleasant experience as all of us enjoyed the soup for lunch more than our usual rice and curries. Just as my brother predicted, the rich taste of the soup really complimented the cold rainy weather that day.

Love you All!
