Watching Cooking Shows

BAM !!!...'Emeril Live' ! Thats the TV Show I am watching now a days on Food Network. Thou being a Semi-Vegetarian, none of Food Dishes on the show interests me. But what I like about the show is, the manner in which Emeril presents it. He got the Style.


Now I wonder, I always liked watching Cooking Shows; Be it Sanjeev Kapoor's 'Khana Khazana' or Tarla Dalal Show or be it Emeril Lagasse's 'Emeril Live' .

It's different story that I don't spend much time in Kitchen.

Maharashtrachi Khant - Rakhi Sawant

As frequrent visitor to Me Marathi , I found this few lines very funny one and thought to mention it here.

One Time Every where

Now, I wish If there was only one Time Zone For the whole entire World.
Imagine All the people wakes up at same time and goes to bed at same time.
No EST, No GMT, No IST...Just simple plain vanilla Time.
One Time Every where.

Specially, It's really painful to write a software code to handle all different Time Zones. A simple testing takes entire 24 hrs and by that time next date starts.

Another Rising India article

Here is another article covered by US media about the Rising India.
I found this cover of Time magazine a very appropriate storyteller.
There was one line in article that took my special attention:
"We're all about to discover: that elephant can dance."

Finally Moved

This time it was Enterprise Cargo Van that I tried after having hands on UHAUL’s 14' Truck 2 yrs back. Thanks to my kind friends that I could wrap up all my One Bedroom Apt into this Van thou it was very struggling and painful work to do.

Here is how it came up
Cargo Van Rent $125
Gas for the Van $60
2 Helpers for 1 hr $60
and Lots of Stress

I learned my lesson, Next time I think of moving; I would go for Professional Movers. The good thing about “Do it Yourself “ is that it gives you a self-confidence, which lasts with you forever.

Revisited 'Summer of 69' Song

Something about this "Summer of 69" Song, that takes my breath away. Every now and often, I listen this song it refreshes the mood and rides back into memory lane.

Yesterday, surprisingly I found the Hinglish (Hindi) version of the song by Antaragni. I found this one much melodious than the original because of smooth background music of flute & violin.

And oh by the way…The Song has nothing to do with Summer of 69, In fact Bryan was just 9 Yr old in 69.

You can find out more facts about "Summer of 69" here.

Another World Cup

Honestly Speaking, I am not a big sports fan; It never mattered to me who is playing against India in Cricket neither the Football World Cup.



What the World Cup event reminds me is that, the 4 yrs have passed on since the Last World Cup. As you grow older, you witness more and more such events and finally there will be your Last World cup.

What’s with Ford Explorer guys ?

What’s with Ford Explorer guys? They think they own the Road…seems like attitude problem to me. I have noticed that the people in Ford Explorer are more aggressive drivers than others. They are always in hurry while doing take over. I hate when they come across my car without giving an indicator and suddenly pressing the breaks.

Living 'Commuters Life'

Since Past week I have been living a life of Commuter. The day is starting arround 5:30 am early in the morning and finishing off almost on 8:30 pm in the evening. I always wanted to try this experience, but believe me ....Not a good one ! Specially when you stuck up in horrible bumper to bumper traffic for hours.

Everyday I am putting 160 Miles on my cars odometer which is costing me $25-$30 in gasoline & toll charges.

Hoping that I will be doing this for a short period, unlike other americans for whom It became routine part of their daily life.
