NO IDLIS please !

Some people just loooove idlis. Idli-addicts - I'd call them. A mere fleeting sight of its royal presence in the company of its loyal compatriots -sambar and cocunut chutney, makes them drool all over the plate.

Some other people are idly-pacifists. They aren't that ardent lovers of idlis. But nevertheless, wouldn't mind if Mr.Idli paid a visit to their tummy once a while.

And then.. there are those who hate idlies. I repeat - HATE idlis. Got it ? Good. And yes, incase you haven't guessed it already - I fit this bill.

Now, imagine an idly-hater (Yup! Even our lot has got a name!) opening his(Or 'her' for that matter!) snack-pack for breakfast.. And..Wham! He gets hit by the ever-so-innocent gaze, of a bunch of no-gooder idli's, staring right back at him !

Get the picture? Yes, it was me! (Boy! Aren't you brilliant!)

It must be said at this point that an idli-hater's biggest traitor has to be none other than his loving health-conscious mom. (And boy aren't they pro's at tricking ya!) No matter how many times you try to get your 'NO - IDLIS' point across to them , you'll never get across their mind's Pro-Health Firewall!

Sigh... Anyways, so here I am, breaking my head and trying to figure out how to make those idlis go down my oesophagus(Er.. thats what the call your food pipe).

Anybody game to trade snack-packs ?

My website launched!

I've been sitting on my laptop for 2 days now, neck-deep busy in designing my personal website and the way it is coming out is so exciting. I had bought this domain way back in January 2008. The hassle of setting up hosting, mail, blog etc with different service providers put me off. I wasn't willing to shell out huge bucks to host my site. After all, it is just a simple personal forum.

Couple of days back i bumped across the Google-App service. Man its awesome! It seems this service was launched in April 2008. Lucky Me! This service combines everything into a single package. And the best part if -- its FREE!

The sudden heavy downpour of rain in Chennai, resulting in my staying indoors for 2 days has been most fruitful to this purpose. Sometimes when you sit back and look at the events weaving around you, you'll get a feeling of a preset scheme.. At least I do.

I do realize that I won't be getting any huge number of visitors for this site. Still.. I love owning my OWN corner of the internet. If not anything else... Its a real good SHOW OFF!
