Hey,
last week was real cool ... two parties(a lunch and a dinner) and not much work, boss on leave so lots of things happening ....
It began with a senior company guy coming to India.He had hosted a dinner party for our team at Taj Residency ..man it was a buffet but was amazing .. varities of Chaat , juices - manga Lasi(that was something new) but tasted OK ,spring rolls,paneer tikka(though it wasnt that good) but most importantly sweet potato(my fav ) .I remember I had it last time some 2 yrs back in Delhi and it was now .. amazingly the same taste .. but I could not had much of it as the list is still continuing...
So where were we .. ya Spring roll,Paneer tikka,dhokla,a dhokla like roll( I dont know its name but was yummy) and a whole variety of salads...
Well that is it for starters & I was already feeling filled up.Than came the main course ..I must admit my appetite has gone down .. as I could not had much of the main course.
But tonnes of desserts
Gulab jamun,gajar halwa,ice cream mast tha .. delhi ki shaadi ki yaad aa gayi .. wahan bhi bahut kuch milta hain khaane ko

WAQT !!
Hey,
Happen to see this movie Waqt over the weekend .. a good movie until climax .. story about a self made man(Big B) and his spoiled son Aditya(akhsay) .Aditya is a guy with who cares attitude and is not bothered about how to earn in life.By the time , Amitabh and his wife realises this it is too late and Aditya is already married .To teach him a lesson , Amitabh makes him live with his wife in there out house and ask for rent and electricity .When left with nothing, he realises the hard truth of life .To earn his first sal, he acts as a stuntsman and braves hungary cannine (too filmy).
Another twist was when Amitabh was diagnosed for Lung Cancer.It ultimately comes out as a plan to teach him the truths for life before Amitabh Bachan dies.
He enters for a talent hunt contest (which he had to win after it is Akhsay Kumar)
As a whole a OK movie to watch(not bad when it come for 35 bucks ) .. couple of songs are good but nothing there to watch again.
chalo cya

Dilemma !!!
Hey,
I am getting more frequent than normal .kindly bear with me ;)
Anyways, I am currently confused as what I want in life .. my ultimate goal is to be rich and successful(what's new everyone of us wants the same) but again the points come in
What exactly I want ? Until I am able to find an answer to this question I dont think I will ever be able to live peacefully .... People i know are moving out in search for better job prospects or for higher studies ..my friends preparing for higher studies .. but I am well more than just confused For me life is a conundrum, a maze I managed to enter it but dont know which way I am heading , a ship without a rudder or (getting more business ) a company without a vision
or as the famous saying goes "meri zindagi main lakshya nahin hain"
To tell u honestly, I want to do MBA but after failing miserably in my last attempt I am not able to digest this fact that I am capable of even appearing for it let alone the point of cracking it. I had performed miserably and that had broken me right to the bottom (:)). I am still in a process of convincing me that I am not that bad and I can perform better but at the same time the other part of my heart says that it is farse and it will again result the same.
Another factor is am I too old to go for a full time 2 yr program or am I capable enough to support my self for this period.
And another factor is whether I will be able to devote proper time to my preparation and at the same time be able to do justice to my work.People will advice "u have to priortize " but how .. can anyone help me in setting my prorities!!Even though I know what mistakes I did last time and what I should have done but I am still not able to gather myself to the point that I can make a decision.
So the conclusion I am still at the crossroads of which path I select .
Probably I am too -ve to see the bright side of my state .. lets see it tomorrow morning with a fresh mind with a fresh day.
till then take care

Cooking adventures
Hey ,
This blog is entirely dedicated to the cooking (mis)adventures that were undertaken by a group of vellas . In the more recent times, I have taken up to cooking(once used to be considered a rocket science by me).Though not frequent , but slowly I have gained the confidence to prepare small time dishes on my own.
It all started when I came to banglore.At that time my huge knowledge of cooking comprised of preparing Tea and boiling milk.From then on my first encounter was with Maggi(our sunday staple diet or SSD-again ppl from bangl will know).My roommate was shouting on me from behind on what I was doing and the 2 minute noodle seemed to be taking years to cook.Somehow it was ready Regarding taste.. u cant spoil maggi so I was saved.
From then I gained confidence in making maggi and now I am an expert maggi maker :)
Next in line was making sewaiyan kheer .Me and another roomie got hold of .5 liter of milk and boiled with sewaiyan until we were left with just 3 cups of kheer .. that was tasty and thick ( but a lot of hard work and not much result)
We even tried making chappatti .. man the circle is so tough to get right .. I tried atleast 4 times before I got a circle lookalike ... then a better option looked to make pranthas which are square in shape... this way atleast the shape was ok(if not the taste).
Am also experienced in preparing Pakodas .. aaloo,pyaaz , paneer and most recently bread ...
and all were nice to eat ..the only thing is u shud have the urge to make then u can prepare anything and everything (another condition wud be not to eat it if things go wrong)
So the next in line are more complex dishes like Daal,sabji ... dekhte hain how the progress goes
anyways will keep u posted on that as well...
BTW Miyan mushharaaf stil enjoying dawaat at Indian expense.. i am not sure abt 1 thing, why is Indian media giving so much importance to unwanted people.. they shud have learnt a lesson from the there last experience when mussharaf came , slapped eveyone on face and went home like a winner .... alas these TRP hungry news channel can make agenda out of anything (makes me remind of a Hindi movie "Phir bhi dil hai hindustani")
Chalo need to finish off things before I leave
take care

Bday bash
Hey ,
long time since I had written my last entry.Actually things are pretty much the same (just an excuse).Ok not to waste time ,as the subject goes -> it is Bday bash .. couple of my friends who coincidentally shared there bday also shared there bday partis(buggers ,the latter was not that coincidental) So we went to celebrate there b'days together .All our college frndz in bangalore were given as SOS call and all were able to make it to the venue.The party as usual was more to do with Food and discussion which have always been useless for all of us.
But the good thing was that we were able to meet all our classmates together which had happened for the last 6 months or so.
For the Food, it was always nice when it comes to Angethi.The tamatar shorba,the harabhara kabab, the kadai paneer... the list is long but the crux is the taste it was amazing .Though it is a bit expensive(the soup costed abt 60 bucks) but when they club the party it has to be in such a place only :)
We were there by 9:00 pM and sat there for abt 2.5 hrs before we finally decided to start back for our respective bunkers.So far so good but the next point in the agenda is ???
any guesses????
come on... u can try...
ok it is the next bday party to be held this month only ... yippee
