Ranveer: How much Carrots you take for this pickle?
Auntie: 5 kg!
Take 5 kg of all three ingredients.. Cauliflower, turnip and carrots.
Ranveer: 5 kg each?
Auntie: It remains 3 kg after removing the waste.
Then have it for all winters. Two months
or so.
Ranveer: It doesn't gets spoiled in two months?
Auntie: No!
Vinegar in it prevents it from getting spoiled.
Ranveer: Okay!
Did I pass in peeling the carrots?
Auntie: Yes! Very good!
You've peeled it perfectly.
Ranveer: Yes!
Auntie: Now, cut it
into thick strips.
Not like this.
Ranveer: Like this?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Like this?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Did I pass?
Auntie: Yes! Of course!
Ranveer: Auntie.. what have done other than cutting carrots as yet!
Auntie: People suggested me to start this business.
Ranveer: Okay!
Pickle's business?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Then why didn't you do it?
Who is your favourite grandson?
Auntie: Everybody is my favourite!
Ranveer: No! You'll have to choose one.
This question is very important.
Auntie: No! No!
Ranveer: Okay let's do one thing!
You have a great grandson?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Tell me his name.
Auntie: Ruhan!
Ranveer: So now
we'll start Ruhan Pickle Company.
Auntie: Absolutely perfect!
Ranveer: We'll do it in partnership.
Auntie: We'll do this work.
Ranveer: Okay?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: How many brother sister's were you?
Auntie: We..? 
Ranveer: Yes!
Auntie: Don't ask.. 10!
Ranveer: 10?
You were on what number?
Auntie: I was the youngest.
Ranveer: You used to stay with your sister when at the age of three
your mother died?
Auntie: Yes! I stayed with my father for two years.
Then..
at the age of five I went to my sister.
Ranveer: Do you remember any of your mother's dishes?
Auntie: This is the only thing..
We didn't have pictures back then.
I don't even remember my mother's face and don't even
know who she was. I have seen my father though
but don't know anything about my mother.
Cut cauliflower also like this.
Ranveer: How?
Auntie: Yes long like this!
That's enough!
Ranveer: Sure?
Auntie: It will be enough after boiling.
Ranveer: I hope you're not just saying it to make me happy?
Auntie: No! No! No!
Cut the big one's into 2-3 parts.
Ranveer: Okay!
Auntie: Cut them in this size.
Ranveer: Okay!
Auntie: We'll boil them so they'll be fine.
Ranveer: So should I keep water for boiling?
Ranveer: Should I add salt in the water?
Auntie: We'll add salt in that..
Ranveer: In the spice mix.
Auntie: You are doing all the work.
Ranveer: So,
you're talking, that's important.
I haven't called you here to work.
So, who all are there in your family?
How many
son's or grandson's?
Auntie: I have two son's.
Ranveer: Okay!
Auntie: One is in Meerut city and one is in Mumbai.
Ranveer: And how many grandson's?
Auntie: One in Meerut
and two in Mumbai.
Ranveer: So you have three grandson's and two son's.
And then you also have a great grandson. 
Auntie: He is the first great grandson in our house.
Ranveer: Satisfying life?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Do you remember anything from partition?
Auntie: We came here two months before the partition.
Ranveer: Okay!
Auntie: The only
good luck we had, was
that we didn't see any fights then,
So we came here
in June. It took us
one whole week to travel from Kota to Dehradun.
Ranveer: Now that your grandson's are all grown up, Deepak has grown up.
So they still ask you to cook for them?
Auntie: I am fond of it. They ask
me to rest but I am very fond of it.
Working in the kitchen,
or any other work. Making paratha's
for the kids or anything.
I ask them to demand
what do you want to eat!
Ranveer: Grandmother's do cry while leaving their grandchildren. 
I remember when I small..
So..
I just had to say that I'm hungry to my grandmother,
as soon as I'll say, she would rush in the kitchen
and would come back in 5 minutes with
something cooked.
Now we understand that if we had to, we won't be able cook in 5 minutes.
Moral of the story is grandmother will always be grandmother, be that Ranveer's
or Deepak's.
Right?
Auntie: Yes!
Kids also take care of me a lot. Grandchildren's
also give me a lot of love and respect.
I always say that this is a god's blessing.
Ranveer: Absolutely!
You want to sit? If you get tired let me know.
Auntie: No! No!
Getting bored and getting tired are two things,
I don't have in my life.
Ranveer: Do you ever feel that, I would have done this,
this is left?
Auntie: There are some things in life..
Like I wanted to study more.
But my brother sister also had it that i am their responsibility.
I got my education till high school
not after that. I even tried
but nothing happened.
Ranveer: How much garlic and onion?
Auntie: Take half of it for this.
We have to make a paste.
We cut it in our hands. 
Ranveer: Like this?
That is not easy. I am not habitual to it.
Should I add it?
Auntie: Yes! Add it.
Ranveer: Now..
Auntie: Now add ginger.
Ranveer: Thats it?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Don't you have teary eyes?
Auntie: What for?
Ranveer: From onions?
Auntie: No! No!
See I have no tears.
Ranveer: My eyes have gone bad.
I am 40 years old
and you've been cooking for 40 years.
Auntie: We used to
start cooking at the age of 12.
Now we'll saute it in a pan with some oil.
Ranveer: Okay!
Let's saute in this?
You didn't like my utensils?
Auntie: I liked them a lot.
Ranveer: What?
Auntie: I liked them a lot.
Ranveer: You're just saying for the sake of it.
Auntie: No! No!
Ranveer: Really?
Auntie: Your utensils are very good.
Ranveer: Should I add?
Mustard oil?
Auntie: Add more.
Ranveer: That's it?
Auntie: Little more for sauteing.
Auntie: That's it!
Because we'll add the vegetable's also.
So I'll add more?
Auntie: No! No!
That'll be a lot.
Ranveer: How much vinegar will you need?
Auntie: For that also take a beautiful pot.
Ranveer: Beautiful pot?
Yes! Yes! Of course.
We don't lack of utensils. No you've put me in pressure.
now I will have to find it.
This would work?
Auntie: See, how beautiful pot you found.
Ranveer: Yes?
Auntie: That too red coloured pot.
Ranveer: What do you like to eat?
Auntie: I am ever ready like the "Eveready Cells".
Ranveer: Eveready cells?
Auntie: Yes!
I am happy with whatever I get.
Ranveer: But what did you like to eat when you were small.
Auntie: I have been like this since childhood.
Ranveer: So, you've been eveready cell since your childhood?
Eveready company does not have to spend their money,
It has already been promoted.
See my strainer is also very good.
Auntie: Very nice! The colour is also very nice.
Ranveer: If you want to have food at home at night,
so just praise your wife's utensils. 
Should I strain it?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: Should I add it back in this?
Auntie: Yes!
Let it cool..
Ranveer: She is...
my wife who chose all the utensils. 
Now what should I add?
Auntie: Now add this paste to saute.
Add little first,
else it will splutter.
This is vinegar?
Ranveer: Yes!
Auntie: Yes add!
That's it?
Ranveer: Okay!
The aroma of mustard oil is very good.
Auntie: Spices should always smell good.
Ranveer: Why aren't you getting Deepak married?
Auntie: I am tell him to get married.
Whenever I come to Mumbai, I always tell him
to get married.
Ranveer: Then?
Auntie: Now you only tell him.
Ranveer: So you show him the pictures of some girls.
The biggest
tension Punjabi grandmother's have is that their grandchildren aren't married.
Auntie: He has a very dialogue.
Ranveer: What?
Auntie: He say "I don't want
to do arranged marriage and I don't have any love interest. So how should I marry"
His dialogue is so good.
Ranveer: So, you
say your
Punjabi grandmother dialogue.
Auntie: Yes?
Ranveer: That show my
great grand children's faces.
That dialogue
is Punjabi grandmother's favourite dialogue. Don't ever leave that.
This is actually good, put 5 kg pickle at once, as it is so time taking.
Auntie: So put 5 kg at once. If not 5 kg
then put 2.5 kg.
See, how beautiful your spice
box is.
Ranveer: Very good!
Auntie: It rotates
and opens.We have to lid open it.
Red chilli, salt and
garam masala.
Auntie: Just mix it..
Ranveer: Get it all together?
Auntie: Yes!
Ranveer: How much jaggery?
Auntie: All of this.
These big chunks will melt easily?
Ranveer: No problem auntie!
We aren't in a hurry.
Auntie: Just add the vegetables in the spice mix..
and let the vinegar jaggery syrup cool down.
Then we'll add this also.. Just coarsely ground the
mustard seeds.
Ranveer: I'll do it.
Nice!
Auntie: Come to our place with your Mother.
Ranveer: Sure!
I'll come to eat paratha's.
Auntie: Sure!
Ranveer: And also
I'll bring the pictures with me for Deepak.
Auntie: Ya sure!
You'll just lick your fingers when you'll eat this.
Ranveer: I know! I am sure about it.
Mustard seeds should be thick or thin?
This one?
Auntie: Yes!
Where have you bought your spice box from?
Now you've bought this mirror one
and that too square one.
Ranveer: You can see it from here.
Coriander seeds, cloves.. I can see everything.
What a beauty it is!
You are in wrong industry.. You should be in advertising.
Auntie: What beautiful things you have.
Just let it cool down and then mix it together
and add mustard seeds.
And then you

Ranveer: Should I add?
Auntie: Yes!

Just taste it a bit to check the salt.
Ranveer: Wow!
Auntie: How's it?
Ranveer: Amazing!
There's Deepak hiding there.
He's promoted. Now
everybody will see Deepak. We have already opened a matrimonial.
Should we call Deepak for tasting?

Auntie: Yes! I enjoyed a lot
that i cannot even express it.
And this has become a lifetime memory form me and
that too at this age. I enjoyed a lot.
Thank you so much and even
thanks to god.
I would also tell you people to be positive always.

There is no sense of crying and facing them. Eventually you have to face them.
You have to find the solutions to your problems.
But always be positive in you life

Ranveer: Thank you!
Auntie: If you sit and talk with me..
They will never end!
