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.

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.

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
