My In-laws have completed 30 years of marriage. Now, thats really quite an achievement. I just about finished one year and I can understand how tough the going is ;) - Just kidding.
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Thats the reason mom is probably one of the best cooks in mumbai - south indian - pallakad style.
News News News - if there is a walking newsman - thats dad for you. You can talk about pretty much any topic and he would be able to pass on some info - which you didnt know.
I wish you the very best in future as well. Hope you have a 'gala' day today!
Congratulations from your son.

My mom is younger by a year!
Hi mom.
Wishing you a very special birthday.
You have just grown a year younger.
I remember the days in Brindavan when things were really hectic for you, cooking good food and then rushing to work et all.
also the other funny incident i remember very clearly is - at times - we would forget to wash my school shirt/trouser.. and after i take a bath.. we would be looking for the school dress and it would come to the fore that we had forgotten washing it.
then we would have a mini discussion about all the options we have and then take a quick decision of what to do.
that was really cool.
brindavan home was very small! all the issues we faced together.. all the complexities we handled quite easily. i think we really had a great time there.
learning was part of the agenda every day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as we move along and get into a new year, I wish that you grow wiser and stronger, both in heart and mind.
Every phase in life will pass on. Now you are all set to enter the grandmother phase. God Bless!
your son. your dear son.

Pyara Ek Ghar
i miss you sri. i think i miss you all. i am just hoping to be back soon and we have a good time with the new family members :)
yeah you look totally bloated. thats fine. you look happy. thats what matters at the end of the day!
I will call you this saturday. Pray well to God. Thats the most important thing. It will help in better blood circulation and improve your child's ability to talk to you.
I am looking forward to May. So any preferences - boy or gal? Whats everyone saying??
Do update.
Here spring is setting in. So getting warmer. sometimes hotter. Life is pretty ok otherwise. Managing food very well - according to what suj/mom used to tell about me - lazy and all.
Yesterday I made rice, sambhar, karna kezhangu fry and urlakezhangu bodimas. it all came out pretty well. had a hearty meal!!
SKY connection has come .. so pretty much watching all news/sports.
india lost very badly.. dont want to comment further!
so hows life othewise in pondicherry?
say hi to rithu and rithu parents. i havent been able to get through to amith.. always goes to voicemail. i think he is pretty busy.
ok... rest later on.

And then i was all forgotten.
my time these days is all between work and cooking. cooking presents an interesting challenge for me each day.
just like a producer who makes a masala movie with a lot of cashable actors, each day- my sambhar or curry has a lot of infallible characters - carrots/cabbage starrer with side actors including masala curry/dal curry/hot curry etc.
work wise - last week was hectic. this week is also the same. hopefully should be ok.
a couple of guys have noticed that i really strain my eyes while working and reading.
i need to get out of that habit. or maybe i need to wear glasses.. who knows ;)?
saw sri pictures.. really she looks very different and mature. my mom was right abt that.
mumbai ppl - please start planning for my trip there.. i am really particular about the food menu this time.. i will make sure that i get to eat what i want and i get to parcel as well!!
i am really looking forward to that trip in june.. lets see how far june is!
time flies here.. its work work work and work! dont know when the week started and when it ended.. so time will pass soon!
so whats happening in mumbai.. no one is replying back except suja ofcourse. seems like everyone is busy - or maybe out of sight : out of mind!
anyway relatives.. hi!! please do drop in a note now and then! - whats happening on rajshri marriage? any updates? how are things going on for the rest of you all there?
where is lazy gal gitli?? where is the hyderbadi sangdu? gurgaon (spelling mistake) sanju - rambo rajesh?
absolutely no idea where you are all. hope you are all doing good.
ok.. take care for now..

p.s: had a hair cut this saturday.. looking better - i would say.

long time no blog
not having touched the blog for a couple of days now.. its getting a bit important to note whats been happening of late at my end.
got a dvd player from my house owner.. watched asterix cd and heard some tamil songs. this was during the weekend.
also did some vegetable shopping... got some spring onion and some yam among other vegetable items.
then in the afternoon made some moong dal in the cooker. it came out really well.
also the mixed sambhar - cabbage/carrot/ladies finger/brinjal - again in the cooker..
it also came out very well.
it seems like i am saying only mostly about my cooking. i will find some more intersteing topics to blog.. need to think!
was looking for a cricket club to play.. its a bit costly here.. lets see if we can find some good deal in a club.
tomm i am going to stanlow.. thats a couple of hours journey by train one way.. may take my digicam. this is my second trip there..
need to get up early and catch the 7:13 train in the morning.
so no blogs tomm.. london weather is becoming better.. not that cold.. though winter is officially on.
thats it for now.. have to get going.
