Most Exotic Food at an Exotic destination

As a person who loves her food more than any personal posessions, as a person who spends at least 1/5th her salary on food, As a person who dishes out 2000 Rs for a single meal, it is a very unfair question to get asked.
Every new taste that my taste bud experiences is unique and exotic to me and the magic of the food melting and fusing with my senses makes my surroundings magical and enchanting to me. It can be a crowded lane smelling of every human smell conceivable but the food and the mere experience of being there makes it stand out .
It could be Kaande pakode and garam chai on top of SInhagad. ANda Bhurjee outside the Pune station, Galouti kabab in an un named shop in an un named lane in Lucknow, Jigarthanda in Madurai, Pongal Vada at Ayyapans at Matunga, Sphagetti Carbonara @ Curlys in Goa, The Goan pork sausages @ Colva, Kokam Sharbat and Prawn Gassi in Mangalore, Fish Moili in Trivandrum, Chole Kulche and Lassi in Delhi, Garlic Naan @ Angeethi in Hyderabad, Khubani ka meetha, Mutton Biryani and Mirchi ka Salan @ Paradise and Almond house, Haleem @ Ramzan in Hyd.Pitla Bhakri@ Shaniwarpeth. I can just go on and on and on....
There is no one most exotic food. For me The food makes the place exotic.(Maybe I went a little overboard, but food does that to me).

Happiness!!

"So.Are we finally going to Delhi or not Fat...Say it...final answer bol de..please..I really really want to get out of this hell hole.."Not that we missed any opportunity at all to get away from the wretched hostel and go home where all the pleasures of a civilized society awaited us which included a super AAi ,unbelievable food and TV."Nahi yaar,How can we go,pucca se test ho jaayegi..ch0*&&^%( ke pille hain yeh..aur attendance is also kaafi sad yaar.So No delhi.."

"Fat,Drop me off at the salon,I dont want to come there with hairy legs and looking like hairy-scary."
"Ok..we have only 2 hrs to leave..Have to do my part of the MM2 assignment too..."
Bye..
(To be Continued..)
Sorry for the long break...

Return To Innocence

My Friend’s Brother whom I mock hit on , has been liking a girl for the last 4 years at least . Belonging to the purist clan of the Tam- Bhrams ,He has had the gall n *alls to fall for a Sri Lankan Tamil ,which is just as bad as anything else can be ,like bunking your college to watch a movie with your friends. Its hard enough to believe in the ghor-kalyug ,that a guy ,nothing less can stay hooked on to a single girl for 4 ish years.
My friend today tells me breathlessly ,My brother almost got kissed for the first time today . Mentally ,I reeled for a minute ...Did I hear that right ....”FIRST ”.When was that ?????Immediately I got back to real life, and prodded her on .”Why was it almost????” She replied very matter of factly, ”He was too tall for her .He is 6 ‘3 .She was leaving for Canada ,They were saying their goodbyes and She held his hand quietly for a minute and knowingly stood on her toes to kiss him, she couldn’t reach his face .My brother didn’t know What to do and , too overwhelmed by the situation he patted her head “ .
It is quite impossible to find such instances of innocence in this bad world of dog eat dog. I had this immediate urge to tell her to take the next flight back home ,to bury her brother deep in some bomb shelter where no one will ever find and hurt him .I am technically younger ,but i suddenly felt ancient ,When was the “FIRST”?Where was that first rush? Where was that exciting feeling charting unchartered territories ? Have we gone so far in the pursuit of so called “love” that we have permanently lost our return trip to innocence ???????

Theories on Adam Gilchrist!!!

What a man!!!What an illustrious career!!! Even the most die hard Indian fan would have had tears in his or her eyes when he retired after the finals versus India at the MCG .He has dished some brilliant innings and some stupendous catches and stumpings through his career .He is one of the best wicket -keeper batsman the world has ever seen . He is in his mid thirties and as some would put it ,"past his prime" and hence not suited for the ultra short format of the game T20's . Boy!did he put those lolling tongues to rest yesterday! Let me repeat ,"What an innings?"
Gilly as he is fondly known by his fans ,came up with an inspired performance yesterday for the Deccan Chargers .Chasing 154 against the Mumbai Indians ,Gilly made his century off 42 balls making it the fastest century in the 20-20 format .nine boundaries and ten sixers .96 of the 109 he made came in boundaries and sixers .His compatriots Andrew Symonds and Herschelle Gibbs watched in awe as he executed that innings to perfection .
As I was watching the match I recollected a crazy theory put forth by my best friends bumbling brother . According to him ,Adam Gilchrist and George Bush are long lost brothers who lost each other at Kumbh mela esque crowd and Adam Gilchrist was adopted by Australian Parents and George Bush was picked off the bin by Bushes and the story goes hence .I have absolutely the slightest idea as to why he came up with such a jack ass idea ,but nevertheless it caught my imagination .
I have personally always thought that Adam Gilchrist looks uncannily similar to Matthew Perry from his early Chandler Bing days . :)

Whatever the stupid theories may yield or unyield .The matter of fact remains that he is one of the most amazing stroke players ,the game of cricket has ever seen ,a conscientious one at that .

P.s.Respect !!! Some more Respect!!!!
Here's to Gilly !Gulp.....gulp...Hic.....Hic.....
We love you always .

And the curtain falls.......

TODAY ,Last day of Exams ,Same yet so different .No college or school to come back to after these vacations No safety net to protect you from the fall anymore.No more paid vacations.Time to ring in a new and hopefully happy life .Here's to the most memorable three years of my life and big Thank you for all who have been,all who are and all whom i hope will always be there for me . To the craziness,stupidity,laziness and fun of it all..TO LIFE IN ALL ITS COLORS AND HAPPINESS .

P.S:At this point,ALl I can say is,"F$#k !! What a Ride !!!!"

Ramblings....

This is how it feels like to be in love.But then of course this may not be love.
Its really funny how,Tradition and society demands of you to "know" a person well before you fall in love.What if you know the person for a month or so and yet have this immensely,intensely,unbelievably strong gut instinct that howls and hollers,"This is right","This feels right".What if the person who always remained barely in the peripheries of your existence is suddenly plopped into its very core by a series of seemingly innocous circumstances.What if you feel like you have reached that fork in the road,where you think being with this person or not is going to make a difference to your entire life.When society and friends ridicule you for being so naive about falling in love overnight and you still have the urge to reason with them and come out trumps.When all you want to do is to be with this person and just cannot get enough of them.When you truly want this other person to be nothing but happy even if it is at your cost and even if it means having to let go of the one precious thing you found for yourself.
But yet,we choose keep our silence .Is it wrong to agree and accept that you have fallen in love,just because it is "TOO SOON" to accept it.
