Mexican Sambar

It has been a long time that I had sat down to write a post. This post Childhood and those Slow paced days was written a long time back, but I had no time to publish it! Yeah, I know it is too much, but that’s how it was. C# training kept me busy all the time and in between my mom was not doing well. And most important of all was - we started to cook at home! At last we re-defined what cooking was. Our instruments were simple- One electric rice cooker One burner LPG stove (We are planning to book for a gas connection and purchase a proper stove – two burners!) With this, till now we had cooked many items- Vathakozhambu (Vendakai and Murungakai) Sambar (All varities – Murungakai, Kathrikai, and the list goes on…) Urula kezhangu roast, Vendakai, Podalangai varuval… Dosa sometimes! (We buy the instant mixes) Podis (Courtesy – Grand Sweets): Poondu, Paruppu, Karu veppilai Paste:...

Venkatesh Prasad, Venakatapathy Raju, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shasthri and the list goes on... Definitely read Venky and Raju! ROFLOL!

First, kadavul vaazthu - Sudhesi Time and again when you do something or when something unfolds before you, we tend to relate it to the past of our lives- How it would have been back then? What was it then? (Cheran's Nyabagam varuthey nyabagam varuthey... Playing behind! ) Today’s fast paced life is too fast for me to cope up, and thus many a times I get blamed as tube light . I can never think on the fly or make decisions instantly. I need my own time and energy to do stuffs. And now I realize that life back then was the perfect place for me to be myself. School was a paradise and it continued even after the specified era, but on different notions. When was the last time you were enchanted- To see a pink coloured trio device consisting of an eraser, sharpener and a brush?! To see a Big Sized Pencil that has a Hand as its cover/cap?! To see a long plastic stuff that wraps around your wrist when you bang it on the wrist?!...
