You work in Technopark and you eat at one of the several food joints in the campus every now and then, if not every other day. You pay more for a grilled chicken here than you would pay for, at the Forum Mall in Bangalore. You are told it is international cuisine but you get chapattis for Mexican Tortillas. You pay nearly 100 bucks for a Biriyani that has a Chicken Neck very well disguised as a

Click this video link (Courtesy: Manorama News) to see how Kerala's most "popular" Student Political Organisation resolves matters!!! Scary & Shocking to say the least! Apparently, they were protesting the suspension of a student! Violence seemed to be the only option for the so-called student organisation of the party for the people! Watch them ransack the offices of Kerala's oldest college -

Prosit Neujahr! (Happy New Year!) I have been either too busy or very lazy this year to write. 2009 was interesting enough to stir a few and a lot of fun to end with - some rather unusual highlights below: Spared by the Wall of Death I could have been long gone but I guess for some reason, I have been spared for another time. A 20+-foot high and 50 meter long stone wall next to my ancestral

Merry Christmas! A couple of funny Christmas Messages ... "Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human- like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its

Picture Courtesy: Malayala Manorama Most of us in literate Kerala must have seen the above picture early morning today in the leading Malayalam newspaper, the Malayala Manorama (not just read by people in Kottayam, Ernakulam & Thrissur)... This is a scene from the 3-day old strike by auto/taxi drivers in search of "greener" fortunes. A lady carrying an infant to hospital in a rickshaw is

Beef Madras I was getting dinner at a restaurant the other day and noticed something like Chicken Steak (steeeek) on the menu. I always thought Steak had everything to do with Beef and nothing to do with Chicken. Maybe (maybe!) I am terribly wrong! Wonder how many of you ever heard of Beef Madras? Hmmm, Madras & Beef?

It was a winter morning in the charming Bangalore of those days. We, a group of 4 classmates were riding our usual route to college down Hosur Rd. The traffic those days was negligible. Stray dogs would jump the walls of the Military School and cross the road with ease. Students at the nearby Baldwins College would play their guitars on the sidewalk. The air was fresh, the grass was green and the

If you have not been to HotorNot or RateDesi, what you waiting for? These are two sites we used to visit quite often 5-6 years back and very very popular then before other websites popped up with the same idea. http://www.hotoronot.com/ is a website created by two Asian students in the USA nearly ten years back. This site allows people to upload their profile pictures and visitors to the site

Engineers Unemployable! That surely is some bad news for parents who continue to think that Engineering & Medicine is the only way to a successful career. How about being a Male Nurse, for a change? Not that desperate, huh? Or Photography, Travel Reporting? If you are gonna owe the above NASSCOM finding to the recession, think again. The recession is one reason, of course but surely not as big

A few months back, we were interviewing candidates for a secretarial position and young girls came in hordes from an aviation training institute. Most of them were 18-20, still pursuing their Bachelor degrees and had paid a hundred thousand or more and had never been inside an aircraft. Instead, they were sent to contract jobs in beach hotels at a salary not much higher than that of your maids’.

Hi, Here we shall strive to bring you the best curry from the best places and people. Curry - sweet, hot, red and yellow. You might or might not like it. If you have a brain and an open one at that, please stay back and refresh yourself.
