Joman – Mudhha Pongal, Vado and more
Rava Kesari,Muddha Pongal,Vado,Idli,Coffee for breakfast followed by a heavy nine course meals with Pasam as dessert for lunch…Joman, Joman, Joman … Our community is famous for frequent get together. We like good food, rich in taste and calories too! That’s one of our weaknesses, maybe.

Joman
When we look at the movies wherein the heroes bare their six/eight pack abs, we are impressed and many of us make a quick resolution to go to gym, work out and build a body that would be the envy of our friends. That’s the Intention. Depending on how serious we are we may end up in a Gym also. We begin to scoff at the idea of big meals at the Jomans, and smirk surreptiously at people with paunch. This goes on for a few days.
Dawns a day when you have to necessarily attend a function of Mousin’s or Maman’s family. If you avoid it then there is a risk that you will be misunderstood and in turn a function at your place may be avoided by those close relatives. If you attend it then you cannot avoid the food lest you would be again misunderstood. Ok, you decide to attend just this one function only. You sit at the breakfast/lunch/dinner table. Remembering your hero of six pack abs you start saying to the servers, Go Uvvayo Thovo, Elley Nokko, Thelley Nokko… Your neighbor is now disturbed. He sympathetically inquires about your health condition and wants to know if you are sick! The word spreads and you’re embarrassed. In order to avoid further problems you forget your resolution and say to yourself “nothing will go wrong… just this one time…” and start tucking into the food with gusto.
Abbha Mujjo. Athengud Ella mathiri thetka hona… is the thought crossing your mind when you are returning to the crowd in the main party hall. Just then your elderly uncle and aunt approach you to intimate that the next week they have arranged a party as their son has come on a visit from USA and the following day they will be celebrating their golden jubilee wedding anniversary wherein they promise you with a grand gala buffet …No way to escape as you live in the same neighborhood and cannot give any excuse…
Elley iso jiley rai…The more you try to avoid Jomans the more you will be trapped.
All your firm resolutions to avoid rich food in order to keep your body in shape get dissolved by the situation and your weakness for tasty and delicious dishes.
In the end you end up with only a SINGLE PACK Thonthi Poad!

ours is the ” pongal community”. we live on Jomans. no wonder this community has not moved ahead,let alone far ahead.
