HANABI

HANABI - Its just in the next corner to our famous Coffee bean. This small Japanese
restaurant makes it's presence felt strongly to everybody.

So it will not be hard to guess that last night we decided to have some sushi there.
After my first encounter with a authentic Japanese cuisine in Dubai, I was very
skeptic about the idea. But finally we went. Rather strangely, it turned out to be a
beautiful evening with a very good ambiance around and the "cool" company of my
colleagues. The staff were good and alive (more importantly, after the last dinner in
NAWAB ) in their service.

Though I tried four different types of Sushi, but they all failed in their ultimate tryst to make me
happy. On the top of that the two sticks (Wallah, started thinking that some Chinese,
japanese and all are really blessed) made it more difficult to give 100% attention to
the sushi. Though some of my colleagues including me dont want to go there again, but I am still willing to give this japanese cuisine another chance, but definitely not in KL.

Rather I will sure try the indianized version of Japanese cuisine when I will be back to Mumbai (and the reason behind this is obvious. I like even Chinese food made in India. Hehehhe)

Nara jeng

Though I am very fond of watching the tv serials (any kind, just any thing on the idiot box - my friends say), but lately here in KL I hardly watch any. The foremost reason is the lack of any familiar channel (Remember, we are not talking about movies here), and also the lack of time.

Yesterday my friend called me and then told (infact instructed) me to tune in some channel (he was also not sure about it's name, just the serial no. ). I changed the TV channel to the right one, only to get surprised. It

The most beautiful Island,

The island where I spent my last weekend. It was just the most beautiful beach I have ever seen (Though I have seen very few and thats also only in India). Now for more info..

"Pangkor Island, the paradise island, is one of the famous and well known islands in Malaysia. It is located approxiamely 90 km southwest of Ipoh. Pangkor Island is an idyllic and beautiful island resort

Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in all mammals, birds, and fish.

Sleep, sleep and sleep. Sleeping is very important part of our life. People spend their one third time in sleeping. My friend was trying to explain the importance of sleep to me. According to him, the number of sleeping hours and the wealth will make a hyperbola when plotted on a cartesian plot.

errrr.....

But I am planning to watch a movie now and then I will go to sleep. May be tomorrow I will think about the old saying - "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

Just to keep this page active.......never mind.. here is the complete story of sleep....

Sleep is one of those funny things about being a human being -- you just have to do it. Have you ever

Butterflies are free

I haven't set any butterflies free. Rather I haven't catched any to make them free. Its just a movie which I saw yesterday on PIX. For a movie made in 1972, it has not lost any touch in 2006 also. Even though the appearance of the character may seem little old, but the content and the flow of the movie is fresh enough to make you watch this for almost two hours on a channel like PIX (I am saying so because this channel seems to have a license for all the old movies). Its a very touchy movie, which sometimes feel like our own Indian masala movie.

The story is revolving around a blind guy Don. All Don Baker wants is a place of his own away from his over-protective mother. Don has been blind since birth, but that

All ni(gh)ters

The very thought of sleeping late at nights makes some people uncomfortable. But we, some of the distinguished citizens of this strange world somehow used to sleep very late in the night. But this seems to be a distant past, when we were in college and where life used to be be very simple. Returning from the class, then some BC(Codeword, though not very hard to crack), after that some sport (again the type was not fixed, as it was wont to include the game of cricket, both on the field and off the field, i.e EA sport on my 2.6 GHz personal computer and then 6 over matches in the physical world in front of the hostels.) and there are so many things...I don't remember them all.

After all this, spending some time(15 minutes to one full hour, depending upon any plan of watching some late night cinema) in the mess hall and then some limited shows of english, hindi or hinglish ...... on our own personal computer and then some personalized BC with some friends was the usual way to push the coveted

Mom, I'll wear miniskirt today.

I read this joke on some website, which I thought to share with you people. It's a simple two line conversation between mother and daughter, but in different times. It goes like..

1980's
Daughter: Mom, can I wear jeans today?
Mother: No darling, what will people think.

2006
Daughter: Mom, I'll wear miniskirt today.
Mother: Pahan le beti, kuch to pahan le.


This is a perfect example of changing values in the society. I am not saying that it's bad, but it really amazes me how quick these changes are.

Times are changing, people are changing, their values are changing..

The most beautiful woman on the earth

I heard somebody saying "You show me the most beautiful woman on the earth and I'll show you atleast one person who doesn't want to sleep with her." The very first impression of this sentence may make you think about the cynicism of that particular person; but after reading the following lines, you may feel little different.

“The grass is always greener on other side.”

“And those grapes are sour.”

Still you are not thinking differently. I can’t help. Just enjoy the good humor.

What a pity?

Jamhuriyat tarje wah huqumat hai ki jismain;
Bandon ko gina karte hain, taula nahi karte. 

Till the time I was in class nine, this used to be a frequently used couplet in the essays written by me during exams (Never thought why elections are such a frequent entry there, both in Hindi as well as English literature). If you are not a Hindi speaking junta, don’t expect me to translate it in English (hehehehe). Again coming to the reservation issue, I am having one point, which is very simple to understand; but I don’t understand the reason why many people don’t want to understand this. The logic goes like.. 

If a person from a reserved category (regardless of any particular one like SC, ST or OBS) avails the reservation and get in to financial condition so that he can support his children, educate them and prepare them for the real life; then in my opinion his next generation should not avail the reservation. But the real life situation is quite different. Even if a person becomes an IAS officer, his children are getting the benefit of
