Live life KING-SIZE!!!


Change seems like the theme of my blog.. but alas! wat do i do.. thats pretty much the most frequent happening that I see around me.. The mates that were in the same place in college are now all around the globe.. the ones who we were sure of being highllly succesful have not made it as big as the one we thought ll do jus ok.. jus goes on to prove that theres no guarantee for anything in life.. so live life while you can.. and however best you think it is for you.. cos tomorrow is a mystery anyways and if u do make it till tomorrow.. well then its today.. so live today kingsize all the time.. cos its the only way to live.. regrets, worries and grudges take the fun out of life.. best if you realise the earliest!!

The mystery of the SOCIAL NETWORK


Let me narrate my FB experience.. I was introduced to FB when I was pro-orkut.. I was in the undergrads and had these very moral n loyal opinions.. (yeah the usage of past tense IS intentional) but then with time and everyone shifting to fb I behaved the very normal way by joining the bandwagon and tadaaa! there.. I had my FB account.. It lay dead for a good 3 years or so.. then suddenly orkut was no longer even mentioned.. FB was the new compulsory language in college suddenly.. so at the risk of being socially obsolete i dipped my toes into the waters of FB.. i am pretty sure my first status msg was something on the lines of I HATE FB :P but with time it most definitely got to I get upto FB and i tell my last good night to FB!!! farmed at Farmville.. vey loyally.. learnt poker and played it and lost alll the money.. very sincerely.. played ponzi and built an empire :P but then all tat was in college.. when all of us were online all teh time.. we 'like'd everything everyone did.. and commented on each others posts! its like we posted with the full faith that our dear friends will find it significant enough to comment all teh time!! oh teh good days of complete vellaapan.. but the point being.. even now FBs still on.. I do nothing on it.. I dont post stuff at a frequency of one per hour anymore but i am still online..and I dont even keep my chat on!! so if someone can.. pls pls pls figure out the reason why iam alwaysss online on fb without doing anything on it.. (and pls let the answer not be that its jus a stupid habit..)

Old friends


Its so beautiful how old friends can pick up right where they left it!! Its always such a pleasure to have a nice long conversation with an old friend isn't it?? The best part abt the people who ve known you years ago is that you were both stupider before :) and now only the two of you will find the very memory of the past hilarious!! How many time is the dialogue of "can't believe we did tat!!" said :) With old friends we can relive our past without letting go of the present.. and this can happen only with your "old friends".. Treasure them.. they ve seen it through you becoming you.. and you have seen them through their life and ideas! and above all the comfort that familiarity gives.. priceless!!

Foodie delights!!!!!!!

Food drives me! I ve oft repeated this to my friends: People eat to live I live to eat! There’s so much variety in it.. you can never get bored! Its like walking into your wardrobe and finding a new set of clothes every time.. ‘cos no preparation can be identical ever.. cooking food is like composing music, the amateur ear (like me) will really never see the intricate differences in a composition when played twice. An old hand though will notice that the timing and the tune and the pitch and the etc etc etc all play a role. It’s the same with food.. The definition of identical food for the larger public is : just the same ingredients.. but ohh! How wrong that is! The quantity down to the smallest milligram brings a flavor change, well keep that constant then the timing makes all the difference, putting the onions before the tomato or putting the olives before the jalapenos.. and timing out and letting the dish stay in the oven for 5 minutes instead of 4! Yupp it all gives a different flavor.. and the best part of food.. EVERYONE enjoys good food!

No wonder social events largely revolve around food.. that’s one of the reasons I think that food is highly under rated. And connected to this is the art of cooking! Yes indeed its an art! The line: “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is such a lie, because the way to ANYONEs heart is through their stomach.. Cook a good dish, then you can be audience to some real well-meaning compliments coming straight from the heart. Oh! There lies such great happiness in it.. and above it all it’s a creation everytime I cook. Even if its karela fry (bitter gourd) cook it with the actual happiness of creating something: its bound to taste good. The cooking shows especially are such a pleasure!! They exhibit soo many ideas and so many possibilities. Its like traveling around the world through the cuisines of the world..

But yeah coming back to the maiden topic of food.. well anyone who doesn’t enjoy food and doesn’t identify with the pleasures of trying new cuisines and new recipes is living half a life and that too the boring half! And for anyone who knows people who are living the boring half well well well, its time to introduce them to the delights of the tongue.. force them into the addiction that food is and they re bound to thank you for it! So go according to the cook book.. or invent your food.. or visit the an unique cuisine restaurant and go a la carte.. or the road side vada pav.. take it with the wine.. or the sparkling water.. or the chaas.. or the jaljeera the varieties unlimited and since the possibility of you eating a dish tasting the EXACT SAMEs really limited.. savor every dish you ever eat.. kal wahi ho na ho!! Happy exploring!!! Hasta la vista! Me off to eat.. or rather experience food!!

Apologies September!

Sorry September!!!
I desperately wanted to keep the frequency of my blog to atleast 1 blog/month but alas! September I gave you a miss!! I kept considering and re-considering topics :
Life and its intricacies (my specialty as you guys would ve understood :P )
The extended monsoons in in the city..
The CWG: a goof up or super publicity?
Dabangg.. entertainer!!
The Ayodhya case and how most of the nation shut itself for atleast half a day

This is to list jus a few.. but again.. now its too late.. things which are not done on time lose their meaning cos I know Life is still as intricate in October as it was in September.. The monsoons listened to all our calls stopped completely and has left us in the glaring heat!! The CWG did give us allll the attention and a super standing ovation at the opening.. HATSOFF INDIA.. Proud as ever to be your citizen.. Dabangg... well the mystery remains.. but it has got more mysterious with endhiran (ROBOT for non-tamilians) cos whatever be it.. RAJNI's rocked it as ever :) and the Ayodhya case.. we did get a welcome break for half a day but all s well that ends well!! thank you dear judges!!

So thats a round up about the September I missed.. I have apparently woken up when september ends!! ta ta blog!! this october I will ensure i write an interesting and "proper" blog! ciao!
