Chettinad - Kavun Arisi sweet

I am sure, if you love a thing, you wish to see the best of it. Don't you? Perhaps that is the secret of 'Chettinad' food's taste. People from that area enjoy the taste when they have their food. Their heart and mind are in it. It is hard to find a match when you get the Chettinad food served in a Banana leaf.

Though many of my friends say that the "Vellai Paniyarm"/"Paal Paniyaram" is the special, I love the 'Kavun Arisi' sweet. When they get every ingredients right, for me, that tastes better than everything else.

In my recent visit to Karaikudi, I got a chance to taste another scrumptious drink. It is a derivation from North Indian food (Not sure about it) and it is very famous in Madurai. In fact, the name is mentioned in the Tamil movie "Kadhal" - I had not noticed it. I wonder why they got the name "Jil Jil Jigar Thanda" for it, but believe me it is very delicious.

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything. For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...
