Hrishikesh Mukherjee died on 27th August 2006. A void in the film industry that cannot be filled has been created. If I call him one of the all-time best directors, I will not be wrong. Though the movies he made during ‘my’ time were largely innane and thoroughly out-of-sync with sensibilities of today, his earlier […]

Hair is Crazy
I guess this is ample proof that Darrell Hair is crazy! Offering to quit for USD 500,000. Wonder what the Aus PM John Howard, Steve Waugh and Shane Warne will have to say now. They are nowhere to be heard now!
Woolmer is not entirely straight
Woolmer is supposed to have taught his players how […]

I am going home for the weekend. To have those wonderful dishes that my mother would have made. Man, I relish those things so much. My mother is the world’s greatest cook! :)
On the menu:

ಕಡುಬುಗಳು
ಹೋಳಿಗೆಗಳು - ಅದರ ಜೊತೆ ತುಪ್ಪ ಮತ್ತು ಹಾಲು!
ಹುರ್ಣದ ಕಟ್ಟು ಸಾರು
ಪುಳಿಯೊಗ್ರೆ
ಆಂಬೊಡೆಗಳು
etc.!! ;)

ಸರಿ ಸರಿ ಹಸಿವು ಶುರು ಆಯಿತು ನನಿಗೆ! ನಾನು ಹೊರಟೆ!
ಪ್ರತಿ ಒಬ್ಬರಿಗು ಗೌರಿ ಗಣೇಶ […]

This was a comment in an article on Mysore by Viky. Everytime I read it, my eyes turn moist. Any true Mysorean will see what I mean.
Thanks Viky and Anu for allowing me to post this here!
Mysore cannot be experienced in holidays or weekends. Like a creeper
growing and encircling the staff, you have to live, […]

What happened?
In the 56th over of the ball’s life, the ball was replaced and the Pakistan team were penalised 5 runs (those runs were added to England’s score) for suspected ball tampering. Inzamam-Ul-Haq, Pakistan team’s captain, led the team into the pavilion at tea and didn’t return to the ground for twenty minutes post-tea. The […]

“T. Nagar, Kotturpuram, Ashok Nagar, KK Nagar”, shouted the driver’s assistant indicating to the passengers of the Madurai-Chennai TN State transport bus about the nearby areas.
I was catching up on a rare nap that had descended upon me after various positions of legs and back and hands were tried. The decibel level of the assistant […]

There is a service hosted by a group of professionals called metblogs. It is a service where bloggers belonging to a certain city can get together and begin blogging about anything related to their city.
I checked out if Mysore was on their rolls. Then I realised Mysore was Mysore because it was not on the […]

It is an amazing confluence of Google Pages and Blogger.com. Includes:

Sometimes I wonder what a family is all about. The definition keeps changing whenever we look at it.
As a kid, family meant appa, amma and ani - my kid brother. I used to find their restrictions a bit imposing and probably intrusive at times, but then I had no-one else who would feed me! Ani […]

Another one from Blogical Conclusion. Thought of writing one myself. But when your mind has been expressed so beautifully by someone else, you don’t need to waste energy writing the whole thing out. So here it is.
