This week

Last few weeks have been kind of busy. At work and at home too. Our company got some coverage in hindu buisness line's magazine. There was supposed to be a picture too but somehow that got replaced by a random pic :(

But here it is



There has been a lot of debate about reservations on email and in real life and I have seen that the issue is quite close to a lot of people's heart. What I do not understand is what as an individual I can do. I know PAN IIT is thinking of writing to the prime minister on behalf of the IIT Alumni. You can write to PMO directly if you want by going to this link

Write to PMO

Please be nice :)

Some corporates are also supporting the youth who are protesting. You can find them here

Youth For Equality

I have been doing a lot of kernel hacking (If I am allowed to call what I do that) and am enjoying it quite a bit.

Have a great weekend !

Pepper Fry

I tried this today

Recipe

It turned out ok again. At least that is what I think it was after two pegs of whisky :)

The mustard seeds added a sort of sweetish flavour to the whole dish (can't describe it better), which was quite new to me. But I surely enjoyed it a lot with rice.

So long then !

Whats cooking

I decided to try something new today. I generally cook dinner and lately after getting a gas connection, the cooking possibilities have been expanded. Generally what I will be cooking is decided by what ingredients I have in my fridge. Today I had potatoes and curd at my disposal so I thought of making something out of it. I got a recipe from here

Link to the recipe

I modified it a bit to suit my resources again and used ginger-garlic paste instead of the 'real thing'. Also I preboiled the potatoes a bit in microwave before going to step 4. The stuff turned out quite fine. Just that I should have added a little more curd I feel.



Tomorrow is Mutton Pepper Fry :)

Movies' Blog

ok .. so again with nothing better to write about, I have started a blog on movies. Watching movies is something that I do quite regularly and I thought that it will be a good theme to write regularly on ... atleast i will have something to write about every once in a while that may be of interest (a weak assumption) to others

Dee on Movies

A movie reviews blog with a nonsense name (I frankly speaking could not come up with anything better and did not want to name it Me and movies or Me Myself and Movies or something equally stupid (but not worse than the current name)).

Enough !!!

its that time again

its that time again ..... its 12:30 in the night .... I feel sleepy but I do not want to sleep .... The day has come to an end but i think i have not got from it what i wanted ....

I am trying to keep myslef awake. There is nothing interesting on TV. I am too tired to work at this hour, there is no one online to talk to right now .... but I still want to be awake. I do not want to succumb to sleep right now. All sorts of things coming to my mind ... those IIT days when i would see a sunrise and sleep. The night was never long enough for all the activities. It has been a longtime since I saw sun rise over a sleepy city. That blue after a long black. It has been almost a year i must confess ....

I have only radio city to keep me company ..... i have only myself to keep me company ... i think its good enough

Yeh jo des hai tera from swades playing on radio city ... i wonder how many people are there listening to this song right now .... people i do not know ... people like me who do not want to sleep right now ...
