கடந்த 2-3 வருடங்களாக எனது ப்ளாக் எழுதும் பழக்கம் குறைந்ததற்கு முகநூல் (அதுதாங்க.. Facebook) மட்டும் காரணம் இல்லை, என்ன எழுதுவது என்ற கற்பனை வறட்சியும் தான். முன்பு ரொம்ப யோசிக்காமல் பார்த்த சினிமா,படித்த புத்தகங்கள் என தொடர்ந்து எழுதிக்கொண்டு இருந்தேன். ஆனால் எப்போது சினிமா விமர்சனங்களை எழுதுவதை நிறுத்தி personal blogs கூடுதலாக எழுதவேண்டும் என்று முடிவுசெய்தேனோ அப்போதே கற்பனை வறட்சியில் எனது வலைப்பூ இளைத்துவிட்டது. நேற்று அனன்யா அக்காவின் Facebook பதிவை பார்த்தபோது “இப்படி எல்லாம் கூட யோசிக்க முடியுமா?” என்று ஆச்சரியப்பட்டுப்போனேன். Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder என்பதற்கு சரியான உதாரணம் இந்த பதிவு. அவரது Facebook நண்பர்கள் (தினமணி வாசகர்களும்)மட்டுமே படித்த இந்த பதிவை இங்கே copy paste செய்கிறேன்.

A Dog named sexEverybody I know usually calls their dog Rover or Spot. I called mine Sex. Now Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk I'd like a license for Sex. He said, "I would like to have one too!". Then I said, "She is a dog!!". He said he didnt care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand, I had Sex since I was 9 years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy". When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the weddimg. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life, and my life revolves around Sex."

Bala RamananMy facebook profile pic is a huge me, eating a 'huger' piece of cake - and that pretty much sums up 'Bala'. So, this is exactly where this blog and everything I had to say about running should have ended. Of course not. right? My wife Priya is discussing her post-partum weight gain and I am doing the requisite nods at right intervels, and boom out of the blue...

"Bala, looks like you have not lost your pregnancy weight yet".

I go to the 'pretend & pray' mode (pretend - I did not hear; Pray - No one else did) till

" Oh, he's got time, his baby is not out of the tummy yet!"

Click the image to read furtherAfter all the recent controversies that has surrounded him, False God man Nithyananda has added fuel to the fire saying that he has decided to act on films from now on along with being a false god man as usual. Mr. Nityananda said to a packed media that “I am going to jump into acting bandwagon. I have already gained more popularity because of the video episode. People who saw me in that video has told I look smarter than Ajith which I feel very proud of. Moreover I am not afraid of facing cameras as you saw in the recent video. So I am entering Kollywood to give a run for stars like Rajini Kanth, Kamal Hasan etc” smiled Nithu.

Shreya SaranDebate raised to the core on yesterday’s parliament session on the topic of who should be sent to Pakistan for peace talks between India and Pakistan. Congress has nominated South Indian actress Shreya to resolve this issue. Sonia Gandhi told the house that "After watching the movie Kutti we were impressed that Shreya should be sent to Pakistan for peace talks. The way she handled the tension of love between 2 guys in that movie is amazing. The decision was made immediately after she delivered the dialogue ‘ENNAKU KUTTI VENUM’. That is one of the best dialogue I ve ever seen in the movie. Similarly we hope she can go to Pakistan PM Gillani and ask him ‘ENAKU KASHMIR VENUM’ thereby getting entire Kashmir for India.

Preity ZintaThe auction of IPL threw new controversy when an unknown Chennai guy called Karupasaamy made himself available for auction and was sold to Kings XI for a prize of USD 750,000 dollars which is the rate equal to West Indies sensation Kieran Pollard. Karupasaamy, who is the leading run scorer in Marina beach cricket is also an opening bowler. He was very happy about his price in IPL. Lalit Modi, the commissioner of IPL told the press “Today totally 12 players were sold, 3 players fetched the maximum amount. They are Pollard, Bond and Karupasaamy”. When asked who Karupasaamy is, Mr.Modi told “Karupasaamy is a promising Under 19 cricketer who plays for India. you guys dont know him??? You guys should start concentrating on Under 19 cricket too” laughed Modi thereby insulting many journalists there in the conference room. Priety Zinta and Shilpa Shetty who were there at either side of Modi, as usual laughed as though Mr.Modi cracked the joke of the century.

Our chef oflate had been posting his recipes left, right and center at an alarming pace. Since I wanted to balance the nature of the posts, I waited a while to post his recipes. I tried his Mushroom rice once when my family was away from home and I must say that it was very easy to make and tasty too. So I wish Vijay to post such easy recipes for bachelor / single men. As usual I used to tell him that he has tremendous amount patience as well that burning passion towards cooking, which normally men lack. For this today's post on recipes I am combining two of his posts into one - Lemon Pickle and Rice Uppuma. Hey.. I have a doubt... Why most of those who post recipes name their blog as some "corner".? Today happens to be his cute kid Adarsh's "Aksharabhyasam", so let us all wish him all the best.

Today our chef had made Mushroom rice... Looks simple to make and I am planning to try that tommorrow. There was a funny incident with Vijay. One day he said that he searched downloaded a new recipe for mustard greens because his colleague had given him some mustard greens. I made fun of Vijay that the guys should exchange books, DVDs and some porns, not these kind of items. I asked him to give his friend's email id so that I'll advice him what the guys MUST exchange. Ofcourse I asked for fun but Vijay didn't give. I cajoled him that I am looking for new friends, so let me make that guy as new friend, so that it will be fine for Vijay. But this chef didn't give the mail id till last. He said that he wouldn't give that guy's mail id because he wanted that guy to give mustard greens only to him (vijay)... Grr!!! Such a possessive guy is our chef. I told Vijay to space between the posts he uploads because I can't post all the recipes together.. and this post is reproduced here after 3-4 days.

Vijayakrishnan, Melbourne is a rare species I had come across among my friends. When my friends (including me) don't even wash the coffee tumblers in which we had our coffee, Vijay is so passionate about cooking. He should have been a chef, but he is now a Software Engineer. I used to tease him "Why you hadn't come into my life before? If you were a girl I would have proposed you".. Ha! Ha! For that he used to say "No use in dreaming about impossible.." and I used to pull his legs saying that "Still it is possible because now in India it has been legalised ;-) ...". Jokes apart, he used to try so many new dishes (sometimes I doubt what he mouths is a dish name or scolding at me) and had started a blog since yesterday to put up the recipes he had tried. Lucky Meera... not all the girls girls get such a chef material as husband at home. Coming back to his recipes, I asked him whether I can use his recipes in my homepage. He has started with an auspicious dish - Rice Dal Pudding (அரிசி கடலை பருப்பு பாயசம்). Hope Vijay takes photographs of his forthcoming dishes while he cooks them and send to us.

It is a dream that has been shared by lovers across the centuries – the chance to elope to exotic lands. But few would have been as bold and spontaneous as six-year-old Mika and his five-year-old sweetheart Anna-Bell who, after mulling over their options in secret, packed their suitcases on New Year's Eve and set off from the German city of Hanover to tie the knot under the heat of the African sun.

The children left their homes at dawn while their unwitting parents were apparently sleeping, and took along Mika's seven-year-old sister, Anna-Lena, as a witness to the wedding.
