April Trials with Chutney

Image
Bored after eating out in restaurants & cafeteria, preparing the usual frozen-to-microwave meals, dal-rice & vegetable curries, I decided to go for something hatke . Here are a a couple of such experiments: Sev Puri Looks really good but the red chutney kind of sucked and overall, it wasn't tasty. None the less, had two such big plates of sev puri (to fill my stomach). Also vowed never to make it again! Its a pain in preparing it and its a pain to get it taste-worthy! Oven-Baked/Grilled Sandwiches Prepare Cilantro-Chilli Chutney, apply butter (or veggie spread), add sliced cucumber, tomatoes, baked potatoes, green peppers, onions, shredded Amul cheese and salt-n-pepper. And your sandwich is ready. These were good. I don't have a grill. So, I prepared them in my oven. I could make them again but the chutney has to be less spicy next time. It could give someone a hard time next morning ;)

Newman - New York's Cartman

I was in DC a couple of weekend's back. I had gone for the Paul Van Dyk concert and its become one of my favorites! PVD kick-assed some cool mixes!!! The show was organized at Nation and it supposedly has a capacity of 2000+ people. I don't quite know how many were there that night (yup, drunk!) but the main floor was pack! It was a wild night and enjoyed so much after a long time. At the end of it, Bonda and I even went in the front and shook hands with PVD. We both got an autograph from him on driving directions papers. His assistant was handing out posters and cds but we couldn't get one. So, Bonda and I started shouting, "Hey Paul! Cmon man, a poster here! A CD!!! Paul, cmon!". We thought casual calls to him will feel like we are one of his close buddies. Nope, it didn't work for me. After a while I just gave up. Bonda kept trying. I guess it was the booze but still, he didn't get a cd. We were at least happy about the autograph. Later, we tried gettin...

Being Desi

If 2005 was a year of watching South Park, 2006 looks like the year of reading Blogs. Although peer competition forced me into writing blogs, I wasn't into reading other blogs (except my peers' blogs with whom I was competing). Lately though, reading blogs has become a new hobby for me. It so happened that one fine day, after screwing with XP system files, my Office PC crashed and I lost all my old RSS Blogs bookmarks. Some of them include materialistic blogs like Google's unofficial news, Apple products' updates and Deals2buy. It made me realise whatever I was reading was in fact, not quite worth reading. Otherwise, even after losing those bookmarks, I would have remembered them if they had made a solid impression on me. I started off fresh after the PC crash. Sitting extra hours, (after office time :) ) I managed to set up a few bookmarks that came out from my memory. I searched for a few ones (related to Sepia Mutiny ) on the then, newly introduced Google Blogsearch...
