Have Keyboard Will Type (with food on my mind)

I am hungry.. Crazy hungry.. See the thing is I have tried to go on some sort of weird diet where I eat whole wheat bread and cottage cheese with a dash of molaga podi thrown in for lunch..And now a few hours later I am ravenous.. And so a few hours later I reached for some mixture(courtesy my husband's grand mom). To the un-initiated mixture is well.. Trail Mix but unsweetened and all fried in oil!!! And then again a few hours later (at this point guilt struck) I ate some watermelon.. And I am still hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what my body is craving for.. But I am hungry. I was reading one of the self-help diet columns in Good Housekeeping(dont ask!! My vice)which is actually pretty nice. This month's column talked about how one shud give one's body what it wants when the body asks for it and the brain objects.. But at this point I jus donno what my body wants.. I could try feeding it some other stuff but its too close to dinner (8pm) and I dont want to not eat dinner coz my mom made delicious brinjal curry.. and I will prob eat that with my wheat bread and cottage cheese..
I am not a big fan of chips/tortilla chips/pita chips.. I dont mind popcorn though.. I am known to snack on weird food combinations.. But I have a frnd named Padmapadam(Real Name I swear) who eats pickle with poli(sweet).Now I could never top that And I am sure my vastly Indian readers know that by pickle I dont mean the vinegary one which you get here.. Indian pickles are dunked in oil (a preservative) and basically live in oil... But yeah.. I am a big fan of the American pickles as well.. In fact sometimes, when we go to the movies I just eat pickles!! And drink soda.. And D eats watever will probably justify asking for 5 packets of pickles(Poor guy)

On a not so tangential note.. Well maybe its a tangential note noticed that a few of my frnds and family are writing about food as well..Pichapaati and N

Has anyone read In Defense of Food.. Read rave reviews about Eat Pray Love.. But being Indian and all I thot the book was a load of **!!! I mean even Indians dont live like that.. The Swami mentioned in the book sounds kinda dubious considering that a majority(read 100%) of his followers arent Indian.. We are a lil too low to reach those stages I guess.. But I like some parts of religion that she talks about..However, I dont like to talk about religion and would hence refrain from elaborating and also digressing..

All the talk about food aint helping and I really need something.. Shall go and forage my mom's kitchen (for 3 months) after which it will become my empty one with boxes of pasta and couscous and Maggi.. Now looking at my kitchen makes my heart swell with pride.. Its stocked with stuff.. Stuff whose names I dont know and probably will never use..
