A morning breakfast with Mahan



In 1976, i was staying with Mahan at Upper Serangoon Road,Singapore Sabhai. I woke up late one morning and Mahan told me to quickly brush my teeth to take breakfast. Mahan himself prepared 2 half-boiled eggs and gave it to me. I took the eggs and was enjoying spoon by spoon when Mahan told me 'QUICK QUICK EAT ALL OF IT IN ONE GO' in Tamil. Surprised by his outburst i quickly consumed the eggs. To this day i am still wondering whether he wanted me to eat the eggs while still hot or a particular blessing was there at that moment.
