Thoughts on anything & everything

Most of us have such strong emotional connection to Sabudana khichadi / vada or thalipeeth (shallow fried, thin version of the vada), that a thought of giving it up is heartbreaking. I had them very sparingly in last 10 years. All that starch in sago/ sabudana seemed like a huge diabetes booster, not to mention the potatoes. But then, I happened to put together this recipe which I make very often now. Anything to make low-carbing easy right?

After watching the trailer for this movie some time back. my instant reaction was, "there is no way I am ever going to watch this movie." I am a very picky movie-watcher and horror is an untouchable genre for me. But It so happened that I decided to watch it under the spell of Subodh Bhave fever, which actually is Vikrant Saranjame fever - I have talked about it here - https://lazermonkey.webs.com/apps/blog/show/45993279-vikrant-saranjame-and-the-female-s...

"Secretary, take notes. I have this once in a life time idea."Then, turning to other like-minded colleagues,  "We need a SRK-Kajol-KJo kind of thing in Marathi. It has been long overdue."

Everyone nods. "Yes Yes We do."

"Great. Sagle hajar aahet? Let's start work on this perfect stew. Ki daal mhanuya?"

Like any other woman in her 30s, I have my share of hormonal problems. I believed doctors had a solution to whatever I was suffering from. Until they decided I was a soccer ball. 

I saw my doctor for bigtime period issues. Very irregular, heavy bleeding lasting for days sometimes. She referred me to a gynaec. They did loads of tests and concluded that I am hypothyroid. The only solution to my period problem they offer is birth control pills. I refuse...

Dear Rahul,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits considering whatever happened in IPL. Err...Not that I know what happened, I read a tweet saying you threw your cap down. Really? Why would you do that?  I am that fan of your's who has not followed any of your cricket after 2003. In fact, I haven't followed ANY cricket after 2003. As crazy a cricket watcher I was in the 90s, I am diametrically opposite now. That is an odd ...
