Review: Krazzy 4
2008-04-30 07:20:00 We’ve done it again. We’ve taken a movie from Hollywood and mindlessly copied it, inserted a few songs and then coyly admit to the press that ‘I was inspired by so and so movie’. Take Krazzy 4 . We went to see the movie last weekend. While I was asleep throughout the second half, in all fairness ... More About: Movies , Review , Posts
Adventures with Horses
2008-04-30 07:10:00 I recently heard about an event called the NFR or the National Finals Rodeo. Quite interesting stuff ? it?s organized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and includes events such as bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, bull riding and barrel racing. Barrel racing, incidentally is only for women. Ten days ... More About: Horses , Adventures , Posts
Walnut Cream Soup
2008-04-28 13:06:00 This is a simple, tasty soup that serves as a full meal. First shell your walnuts, pound some roughly and keep a few pieces for the garnish. Chop some onions finely and slice an onion finely. Slice a tomato. In a little butter, saute your chopped onions and some peeled, smashed cloves of garlic. When the ...

More on Backgammon
2008-04-28 12:56:00 The chaps running the online gaming area ? Backgammon Masters, have come up with yet another way to make online gaming fun. While they?re already running games such as 21 Blackjack, Poker and Backgammon, they are now planning to bring on the MIT ?Blackjack Teams? as a challenge to the integrity and stability of their new ...

Koeksisters
2008-04-26 15:26:00 I used to read a lot of Wilbur Smith in the past. In fact, I think I’ve read all of his books twice or more. If you ask me, I think his books are the ‘Mills and Boon’ equivalent for men. Anyway, there was mention of a dish called ‘Koeksisters’ in a few of his ...
The Foodies Plague - Excess Weight
2008-04-26 14:58:00 I need to lose weight. At 130 Kgs / 286 lbs / 20.5 stone / 4585.6 ounces, I think it?s time to start thinking. The good part is, I?m not gaining any more. Now, what?s the strategy going to be this time around? Will it be a diet? Perhaps a month or two of meal ... More About: Weight , Dinner , Posts
Review: Wok and Talk, Great India Place, NOIDA
2008-04-24 11:58:00 Wok and Talk is a part of the Spoon Food Court, in the Great India Place, NOIDA. Just like any other food court, you can take in the many aromas wafting around the place, the hubbub of many people talking at once and the occasional loud crash of a strike at the bowling alley ahead. The ... More About: Reviews , Dinner , Lunch , Review
New Contest Site
2008-04-24 11:56:00 Every now and then we hear of new gaming and entertainment sites springing up somewhere on the web. Most of them offer games for registered members and perhaps a common score board for high scores etc. I?ve just come across a site with a difference, who only do online contests. Instead of just games or simply videos, ... More About: Contest , Site , Posts
Indian Advertising
2008-04-23 06:49:00 Our advertising is getting quite good. Some ads however, are downright ridiculous and yesterday was one day when I had the privilege of watching three of them, nearly consecutively. Nescafe (Instant Coffee): Bunch of pretty, well dressed girls. They want coffee. Surprise! They don’t have any money. But they do have… yes, you guessed right - ...

Success and Best Practices
2008-04-23 06:38:00 Whether we like it or not, best practices for most management disciplines have been made based on sound principles and many hundreds of man years of experience. Why then, do many people just not follow them? I remember this chap from a previous organisation. Brilliant man really? he wrote a bunch of neural network wrappers for ... More About: Success , Posts
Kebab Curry Noodles
2008-04-22 06:24:00 I found these freshly made noodles in the market yesterday. All you need to cook them is a couple of minutes in salted, boiling water. So, I tried this recipe out, which resulted in a spicy combination of curry, noodles, kebabs and coconut. First, boil your noodles, chop the kebabs and onions and squeeze out the ...

Blinds in the Kitchen
2008-04-22 06:15:00 I love blinds, horizontal or vertical. Thing is, cloth or fabric blinds in the kitchen just aren’t practical. Dirt, dust and grime collect faster than I ever thought. Which brings me to wood blinds. Much better don’t you think? Easier to clean and I do think they look really classy. They are a bit dear, ... More About: Kitchen , Blinds , Posts
So, you like salads?
2008-04-16 19:48:00 Like the title says, most of us like salads in some form or another. No red blooded Punjabi would be caught eating mutton curry or any other meal without sliced onions, fresh breath be damned. Then we have those crisp crunchy salads in restaurants, dressed with yummy thousand island or perhaps a mayonnaise concoction. Love them, ... More About: Salads , Posts
Review: The Fortune Cookie, Sector 18, NOIDA
2008-04-13 15:13:00 Meeting with some long lost friends, their parents, their children and so on, we landed up at Fortune Cookie on Friday night. It’s a nice place really - the owner is an ex-shippie who has ransacked his house and placed all his collected oriental artifacts in the restaurant. Decorated with an overpowering shade of red, The ... More About: Reviews , Snacks , Lunch , Review
Review: Superstars, Sector 18, NOIDA
2008-04-11 13:12:00 I went for lunch today to Superstars in Sector 18, NOIDA with an old friend, who I was meeting after nearly 14 years. They haven’t spared any expense in doing up the place and have probably paid a pretty penny for the decor. A pool table, glass floors, huge bar, a music system that can be ...

Pepper Tuna with Tomatoes
2008-04-08 18:35:00 Watching a travel program this evening motivated me to run into the kitchen and start doing *something*, not knowing exactly what I was going to end up with. I started by cutting a few slices off a squash and sauteing them in a little olive oil. Next came the tuna, which was steamed, shredded, seasoned with ...

Pan Haggerty
2008-04-07 14:43:00 Pan Haggerty is a delicious and simple to make dish. I wouldn’t say its quick, but your kids will love it. My wife ended up scraping the pan, so I’m pretty sure it appeals to children. (I hope she’s not reading this). Oil a pan, put a layer of sliced potatoes, then a layer of sliced ...
New Social Network
2008-04-07 14:00:00 There are so many communities sprouting all over the place, it becomes quite tiresome keeping track of who is where and which features do what and how. A new community is a different thing altogether though. It is kind of exciting to be a part of a new social network ? you get to see ... More About: Social , Network , Posts , Social Network
Review: Mexican Mania, Great India Place, NOIDA
2008-04-07 09:06:00 Mexican Mania is a part of the Spoon Food Court, in the Great India Place, NOIDA. The ambience is what you would expect in any mall food court – loud music, the buzz of people everywhere, the sizzle of food cooking, intermingling aromas of different cuisines et al. The available menu is rather sparse, and ... More About: Mexican , Review , Noida
Rest or not to restaurant
2008-04-07 09:00:00 The more I think on the lines of opening a restaurant, the more I like it. The problem is, do I really want to sink all my savings into an iffy venture? If you think it?s a cakewalk, think again. There?s loads of stuff to buy just to equip the kitchen, permissions and official sanctions ... More About: Restaurant , Rest , Posts
Review: Kebab Krazy, Sector 18, NOIDA
2008-04-06 17:10:00 For a place that claims to be krazy about kebabs, this one sure doesn’t live up to its name. The main dining area on the first floor comprises 5 tables / 20 covers. The décor could probably be a little more imaginative, as all the tables are laid end to end without any variation in ... More About: Review , Noida
Taste and your heart
2008-04-06 17:00:00 When I started cooking, it was quite a challenge to make something ?tasty?. This friend of mine, who was a chef at one of India?s leading 5 star restaurants, told me that it?s the fat that does it. Be it butter, oil or lard ? add the cholestrol and the food automatically becomes tasty. I ... More About: Heart , Taste , Posts
Review: The Lounge, Mosaic Hotel, Sector 18, NOIDA
2008-04-05 04:48:00 The Lounge is what Mosaic hotels calls a Pastry Shop. In reality, it is little more than a glass counter filled mostly with sweet pastries and a coffee machine behind it. This setup, for some reason, is located bang adjacent the lobby and is a bit too integrated with it. The décor so to say, is ... More About: Reviews , Coffee , Hotel , Review , Noida
Live Cooking!
2008-04-05 04:00:00 I was wondering the other day, how nice it would be to meet with a bunch of cooks in diverse locations worldwide and perhaps have a kitchen-fest, via the Internet ? telepresence to as to say. Would be cool really, being able to connect, see what the other chaps doing in clear high definition video, ... More About: Cooking , Live , Posts
Review: Flluid Lounge, Mosaic Hotel, Sector 18, NOIDA
2008-04-04 07:08:00 Flluid is in the Mosaic Hotel and is probably one of the most interesting lounge bars in the area. They have an adequate selection of food and quite an array of liquors. In fact, Flluid probably has the best stocked bar in NOIDA! On entering you feel you?ve stepped into some location in the Arctic or ... More About: Reviews , Coffee , Snacks , Dinner
Internet Romance
2008-04-04 07:05:00 The first time Indu and I met, I remember cooking up something with eggs and potatoes. I didn?t know it at the time, but some of the potatoes were crisp, some burnt and some raw. The whole thing was over salted and she could barely eat it. But she did. We first met on an Internet ... More About: Romance , Posts
Review: Republic of China, Great India Place, NOIDA
2008-04-03 06:47:00 Republic of China is a part of the Spoon Food Court, in the Great India Place, NOIDA. The standard food court ambience applies here with lots of places to sit, television screens in abundance and the pleasant murmur of many conversations happening at once. There aren?t many options available, and they don?t seem to want ... More About: Reviews , Snacks , Fast Food
Know your IP Address
2008-04-03 06:44:00 I?m about to talk about IP addresses ? do we know what is an IP address? We really should, if we are to open an e-commerce website, like we?ve been talking in the past. An IP address is a unique combination of numbers, which identifies your computer on the Internet. This means you?re the only ... More About: Posts , Address
Review: All American Diner, India Habitat Centre
More articles from this author:2008-04-02 09:30:00 We met up here for lunch with brother and wives [Indu, Navnita]. Located in the India Habitat Centre on Lodhi road, The All American Diner is a good choice for the odd meal. The very first point in the experience is the people at the gate of IHC.
