One Fleeting Moment

Bring home the Le Oeuf and cooking eggs will never be the same anymore...the Boy will vouch for it. The fact that he can make himself a perfect sunny side up egg has been no less than a culinary epiphany. Okay, even I go a little awwww everytime I see him hanging on the pan rack with the all the other big pans. Oh! no...did I just say him...I am going all anthropomorphic on a $8 pan....Eeeks!!!!

Update: Lookie, lookie there are others like us out there.

The following is an excerpt from a chat I had with a friend yesterday

me: biyer prep kemon cholche?*
him: hahahahahaha
him: Cholche...
him: Me running across 3 cities a week and getting things done...
me: has any party involved driven the other or even come remotely close to driving the other NUTS!!!
me: If yes...then things are PERFECT
me: If not work on it!
him: Wow!
him: Its strange that you say so....
him: That is exactly what is happening!

and with this I am now the official dispenser of sagacious advice/tissue/a free shoulder for those caught up in the raging whirlwinds of a Great Indian Wedding. Sitting through one wedding and babysitting a few others in the last year supplies the necessary street cred, incase you were wondering.

* how are the wedding prepartions coming along?
** changed the title because the previous one was rather seedy

If you are in the DC area, go check out this exhibit at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in the Smithsonian. A well curated exhibit that charts the rise of Portugal and its conquest of lands far and wide, the exhibit includes some beautiful artifcats from Portuguese India and quite a few world maps...proof that atleast some non US Americans have been historically well accquainted with their cartographers. Now if only we could do something about South Africa and Iraq.
This exhibition folds up on 16th of September.

A SHOUTcast Hindi station was playing an old childhood favourite, "lakdi ki kathi" from the movie Masoom. As I turned up the volume, I realised for the first time how cruel the the first two lines of the chorus are...


lakadi ki kaathi aathi pe ghoda
ghode ke dum pe jo maaraa hathauda.....

Ouch, ouch, ouch....positively mean and gruesome. Wonder how I never heard that one before.
