Delicious Chicken Kabab, Kebab or Kabob

2009-12-27T10:16:00.005-05:00

We made these chicken kababs on Saturday afternoon, following a very easy to make recipe. These turned out really delicious and we are very proud of ourselves considering it was our first try. Can't wait to make it once more...

Fall colors in Brown County, IN. Luckily this year we could see some colors. But it was too chilly to be out of the car for more than 5-10 minutes. Nice fall colors though...May be next week we could see some more density

Finally got lotus notes 8.5

2009-07-17T16:53:00.002-04:00

Finally got lotus notes 8.5 installed on the machine. From the morning the machine was acting up silly, got to give a three finger salute a couple of times and then at last resorted to the big red button. Had to restart for 3 times.

On the first glance, notes 8.5 looks okay. Have some added advantages like sametime shows the contact information, a nice spell checker, ability to add rss feeds and other widgets. However did not like the font. The font for new email is bold red, I think the earlier was better. Also there is no ability to change the font or at least I don't know how to do it..but it really sucks.

Also it felt a little slow when it got installed first time. Hopefully it gets better.

This is a prayer of JeevanVidya Mission started by Shri Wamanrao Pai. I heard this prayer few times now when one of our neighbours had organized a satsang program.

I am not a follower of any of such Guru like Shri Wamanrao Pai, however, I liked this prayer since it is universal. The tune is also very catchy.

Another one from the backwaters of Kerala. This was taken from the houseboat where we stayed in. It was also a wonderful experience. Only botheration was lot of mosquitos. Dont forget to take some repellant with you if you plan to stay in a houseboat.

Welcome to the stock markets

2007-08-13T06:34:00.000-04:00

EVEN IF YOU ARE ON A RIGHT TRACK YOU WILL
BE RAN OVER IF YOU PLANNED TO SIT BACK.

The Stock Market simply illustrated ... is there a lesson here?

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50." The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !!

Welcome to the Market !

Trip to Nilkantheshwar

2007-07-22T09:00:00.000-04:00

We went to Nilkantheshwar on last weekend. A great place. This is the way to the temple. A walk of around 3/4 kms each way. But worth going there. And in monsoons it's even lovelier.

It's around 50kms from Pune, near Panshet. The drive till there is equally beuatiful.

Definition of "Worst Movie" has changed today, it is now "Kisna"

2005-01-29T01:24:00.000-05:00

Till now the worst movie I had seen was "Kyoun ho gaya na". And I thought nothing could be worst than that. But how stupid I was. There was another one coming my way. "KISNA". What the hell.

Don't they see the movie before releasing it???? And if they do, then how can they allow it to be shown in theatres? Is this the same Subhash Ghai who directed Saudagar, Ram Lakhan???

Ok, you produced it and you did not like it when you see it but still you need to sell it to recover at least some money....Then at least do not stretch it this much man!!!!

The only person enjoyed this movie was a 1.5 year old, Amit's son, Siddhant. But even he could not take it anymore as he started crying after seeing it for 2 and a half hours.

Mr. Subhash Ghai, only one question for you....what the heck were you thinking while directing this movie??? was it like I have given many good films in the past and now ppl have to pay the price for it??? W H Y????

Now let's go to the cast.. Vivek Oberoi..doesn't he read the script before acting in the movie???? I dunno who is responsible for getting the acting done from the actor, director or the actor himself, but he is pathetic.

And yes, what's wrong with that "Luxmi". Why is she always hanging to a rope??? Yes, she is flexible but what in the hell she was trying to do with the rope??? marketing herself for National Games?

Om Puri, Sushmita Sen, I really like them both on the screen. But in this movie...SORRY BOSS, you disappointed us. Amrish Puri, he could have been better if given proper footage...for this kind of footage, Amrish Puri was not needed at all, any other villain could have filled in, even an extra was okay.

Shivaji Satham was the only actor who acted well. At least delivered what his role was.

Who the hell was the fight master for this movie??? If anybody has already made a mistake and seen this movie and seen it fully, remember the second scene in Mandir??? How can someone believe this kind of fight scene?? Are we mad??? Even fight sequences of Rajanikanth or Mithun are better. At least they are fun to watch.

All in all, the list of worst movies i have seen is increasing, first there was Asoka, then Kyoun Ho Gaya Na, and now "KISNA". Now "Ye sab hone ke baad...............Sochna padega!!!!"
