Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers!!

So I lost my phone. Yes the same phone that I kept bragging about here . Looks like someone up there thought I was into it a little too much! So there you go! I lost it! There I was returning from a well-played hour of badminton, super-happy in my winning 3 games out of 4 (looks like I never learn about bragging! Hmm!), and I left the phone in the cab. Funny how these things happen, eh! And usually, I am not a careless person. I take care of my things with a maniac like precision! Serious! The cab driver hurried me into getting out of the cab, I had like a pile of stuff in my hand and thus the phone that was almost-always a part of my arm got left behind! And of all the days that I get a receipt for the cab ride, that day I did not! Mr.Murphy was right with me!! And the worst part!! I noticed that I did not have my phone the minute the cab revved up and left … I looked it like I was looking at my best friend speed away! And then I sprinted like Usian Bolt up to my friends place and st...

The end of the 10 day challenge. Last 4 days in one post! Phew!

Oh my god! This has to be the longest anyone ever took to complete a 10-day challenge! Damn! And I thought it was going to be easy, and good for me, because it ’ s talking about myself for 10 days! I mean who would not have liked that! Turns out it ’ s not as much fun as I thought it would be. For one, it ’ s unbelievably boring! Talking about myself I mean! I simply have to rack my brains to think up of stuff to write and at the end of it, I feel like I am back in school, filling up a slam book. Maybe it ’ s just not for me. Kudos to all you others who took it up and finished it on time too! So here I am completing the challenge all in one go! In one post! And may that be the end of it! Day 7 - Four Books Book 1: The Godfather!  I can go on and on about why I love this book and how dreamy I find Michael Corleone. Actually Michael Corleone. Enough said. Book 2: Books on hindu mythology.  The latest in the pack being – the Immortals of Meluha! And add a whole lot of other boo...

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 6 - Five Foods!!

Day 6 - FIVE FOODS Yes! When you look at me, it will look as though I don ’ t eat much! Actually I don ’ t.. But whatever I like I eat quite well!!  This is gonna be a short post … here goes! 1.      Idichakka Poduthuval  – ‘ Idichakka ’ is tender jackfruit. Idichakka thoran / poduthuval as we call it at home, is a mouthwatering dish when it is prepared well. It ’ s quite a tedious and messy job cleaning up the jackfruit but the taste compensates for it all.   2.      Fried rice and Gobi Manchurian   – An all time favorite. It ’ s a standard order when we go to Indian restaurants. 3.      Grandmom ’ s Potato curry   – I have no idea how a simple dish like this can be turned awesome. And I still can ’ t get it right even when I try my level best. All she does is fry up the potatoes till its golden brown and I can never quite manage to get the same taste how many ever times I t...

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 5 - Six Places!!

And now its day 5 – Six places! Ok! Frankly I don ’ t know what this refers to! Whether its places that I love to be in always, or places that I loved going to, getaway places, or just ones that capture my fancy! I am going to put here 6 random places from my list because I have a lot of places that I love going to depending on my mood and they all won ’ t fit here on the list!! Here we go! 1.      Meenakshi Gardens – Rajagrha! :-) Also easily referred to as ‘ kalam ’ or the ‘ farmhouse ’ !! It ’ s the place that I spent a bit of my childhood in and I love this place! It makes me feel all good and nice and warm whenever I visit there … lots of trees, and some amazing memories! 2.      Home @ Sumukham. There ’ s a place that I never get bored these days at! Probably because I don ’ t get to visit and stay there as much as I would like! Yes! I miss home!! Don ’ t rub it in! 3 .     Hyderabad! I love that p...
