Tasting SRK item



As part of my wife's routine pre-natal visits, when we visited the clinic @ Bascom Ave, San Jose for some tests, the French doctor told us about the Indian dishes he relish. He said he likes "tandoori and chicken biriyani" of Indian restaurants in US. The american lady nurse then said with a smile that she likes Shahrukh Khan very much.

Then the doctor retorted "Oh, I haven't tasted that sharookaan, I will have it next time, but do they include that item in the buffet ?"

My wife being a hardcore fan of SRK didn't like his comment at all. Nevertheless myself and nurse had a big laugh at his comment. But who knows, like Mallika Milkshake which has started (honouring Mallika Sherawat), soon they might have "Shahrukh Naan or Shahrukh Biriyani" !

Karuveppila Aakraantham

For a long time as we were buying curry leaves (karuveppila) from Indian stores of US paying 1-2$ per packet, I am now happy to see it here on Chennai supermarkets selling it for free ! Aakraantham kaanichu I took an extra big bunch of curry leaves from Spencers the other day and the cashier lady returned a brow beating look. 80-90 roopa koduthu vaangiyirunna saadhanam OCil kittumbo why not take more ?


Anyway I hope my aakraantham will soon die down. Naattile veettilaanenkil dhaaraalam karuveppila chedikal undu. Pakshe muttathe karuveppilaykku manamillennaanallo chollu.
