We meditate on the glory of our creater; who has created the universe; who is worthy of worship; who is embodiment of knowledge and light; who is remover of all sins and ignorance; may he enlighten our intellect with a hope that we attain success and bliss with every light we lit on the day of diwali…. May this diwali illuminate, our hearts and minds with the grace and light of lord….. Say “Amen (So be it)”
Hi Moe unfortunately we dont live in an ideal world. What you say makes a lot of sense, however when good people like you remain silent, its all that it takes for more injustices to be committed by the perpetrators who know that no one will say anything against their actions. It takes a lot more courage to stand up and speak for what is right than to remain silent in most instances. We are confronted by certain groupings who think nothing of killing and destroying in the name of certain religions, they think nothing of buringing an innocent woman because of their horrible greed for wealth and call it dowry, they think nothing of murdering an innocent female infant or foetus and do other equally henious actions in the name of a so called religion or so called cause. I made a committment to myself that I shall not remain silent in the face of any injustice. I paid a very high price for my stand in the past and today I shall not remain silent, others can be silent iof they wish.
lolzz. what a fine illustration that was. i think we must have a new course in schools with you as professor and call it as: colourful illustrations of meaningful words. hehe
Naan nenaichathu sari naa, did you make you for whatever you are? or were you made as what you are? why are you what you are??…i dont want to be correct or right about you!!! why do you not want to prove me wrong and say you are good and the right one!!!
BIWI : Samne sharabi dekh rahe ho ? 10 saal pehle maine use shaadi ke liye inkar kar diya tha dekho aaj tak pee raha hai…..PATI : Baap re itna lamba celebration … …… keep smiling and have a nice day
that was a wonderful limerick by Shalini… i had come here to say something to that effect only but now got tongue tied after reading her verse.. lols..
thanks for the lovely comment on d latest blog thalaiva… your pictorial comments (even the non-pictorial ones too) add to the charm of blog sir. or sometimes they are more a treat than the blogs themselves. lols….
hats off to you for the wonderful comments which you never fail to leave on your friends posts.
7 secrets of success I found the answers in my room…… (1) Roof said : Aim high.. (2) Fan said : Be cool.. (3) Clock said : Every minute is precious.. (4) Mirror said : Reflect before you act.. (5) Window said : See the world.. (6) Calender said : Be up-to-date.. (7) Door said : Push hard to achieve ur goals….. keep smiling and have a nice day
100% Moe-istic.
vera onnum thalaiva, just wanted to tell you that
ungal humour tickles me and
your brilliant poetry touches my heart in equal measure too.
have a wonderful weekend thalaiva.
tc…
I am back after a successful stint (yet again) with the St Valentine. havent got married yet. Shri Ram Sene didnt come near me.. not sure i shud take it as a compliment or that even they have lost hops on me.. sigh.. Frozy!
we will get a new kannu kali.. hehe.. and what long time and all? i was away for just 3 months.. and that too end of the year.. u can imagine like an extended loo break knowing me, its not impossible either
“nyaan endhaa chouku?”….actually, myself and my family went for a small dinner get together…the food took my stomake for a greet ride….my bile and acid came to my throt…making my tong go like dragon…so needed some digestive syrup…todays the day when there is no digestion….ha ha ha ha ha…..its all burp burp in my tummy tommy…
Terror has no religion? Then why the perpatrators of more than 75% of the terror acts committed on Indian soil are followers of one religion? I think we need to wake up and wake fast.
aiyo thalaiva… ther is a big mistake… the stuffed animal that i have isnt available in any departmental store… shucks.. i’ll be damned if it was… my MIL gave it to me saying that i it will take care of me for life.. but now i realize that its me who is taking care of it.
pst…. i hope my wifey doesnt read this gb.. otherwise i am done for… :)))
and why sorry?? i really didnt get it.. i lost the chain somewhere.. what mean thing did u do to me? did u steal my money? my girl? which one? out with it.. NOW..
Ah !! thalaiva.. Usha and co. are taking good care of me.. it was raining cats and dogs last night here.. and it was pretty cool after that… and this weekend is gonna be hectic thalaivaa…
since when did u become a cop? lols.. puzzled laya? lemme explain…
if a road ahead is dug up… there stands a cop who guides the vehicles to take diversions, aint it? i dont know about the US, but atleast in india they do (sometimes)..
and you have been diverting traffic to my blog.. lols… he he he.. thanks thalaiva…. have to post a new blog soon i guess….
wishing you a great weekend.. have a great sunday..
thalaiva… me’s doing good inge… weather is sometimes pretty hot and sometimes the monsoon winds bring a bit of relief….. so a mixed bag..
havent talked to meena akka after that.. but i guess she must be back home by this weekend.. hope to see her on iLand pretty soon..
wishing you a great weekend and times…
do take care..
Thanks for ur observation on red indians. I don’t believe that they could have combined to fight to white man. They signed treaties with the white fellow and “buried that hatchet” while the whiteman had no impunity using the gun. These people stuck to their word while the “white man with the burden of reforming the world” (in the name of proseltyzing) just did not. It is really sad that some very unique culture in the Carribean and Africa got wiped out in the evagelical drive.
That apart I do read your posts and I did like your westernized confusion”. Rgds, Sathya
I guess ur referring to the ratnagairiswar temple near RBI staff quarters.
I reside on those MIG flats opposite RBI on the main road. These days Besantnagar resembles a fish market like Mylapore market: too many cars and too many north indians (brazen dresses, revelry) have spoilt the place completely
hello Moe,,thanks you for penning a few words in my guest book..no issues dear,,i just want to say,,i love you a lot,,, god bless you,,i say all out of my love for you only and i hope it reaches you
lol!!! That one sounds like my cousin too.. he is now married so no more vikruthikal.. baalya kaala smaranakal ayavirakki angane kazhiyunnu.. “paandan naayude pallinu showryam” enna matta eppo.. hehe
as for naming the faces… well, i did not take anyone’s permission to put up those pics in the first place… so i dare not mention who is who .. lols.. and i am not sure anybody would be comfortable in having their pic on the net.. in such open forums.. i shall be removing those pics soon enuf sir..
oh that! well its going to be like that for some more time thalaiva.. so pls bear wid me… look at the +ve side that i have not become dormant (read frozen) on iLand… atleast wriggle some time out to come over here… lots of ppl i know have disappeared into thin air…
Moe..looks like I was missing a lot of actions in this iland - not anymore. Glad to have stopped by your blog. The attention to detail…the quality of posts and pictures are awesome. Loved your analogy of the umbrella in Meena’s post on the generation next. Namaskaram to the Don of iland!
Moeeeeeee.. i posted that mal blog after you ppl said so.. and u havent read it yet.. :(( also half the iLand is after my blood that they cant understand a word of it..
1. Read it. NOW. (dats an order!)
2. Can you please translate it into English? i couldn’t find anyone else with moe-riginal sense of humor..
thanks Moe! yes, you are absoultely right about the Taliban: but still, many want them to come back! what a paradox! thanks for posting that Sharbat Gula photo by McCurry…
“entheru parayaan appi…… undedey appi”.. LOL!!! hahahhahhaa.. my tummy is aching.. my gawd.. phoooo.. someone pls stop this monster-moe.. u cant crack jokes.. u shud be behind bars for torture and violence.. :))))))))))))))
thanx for accepting freindship dear moe; u r a real gem on net and though i have been reading ur blog silently for so many months now i dont know why i dint request u for friendship….better late than never . bye
Moe!! i got some gossip for you (which is actually none of my business, but that exactly IS gossip, aint it?) Did u hear abt Sir Knight? visit his iland..
The day of love requires a companion,
But I find myself at this time all alone.
Words of sweet affection fill the morning
Like bells outside the windows of my room.
I don’t know why I don’t have someone with me.
I’ve loved and been loved through the restless years.
The mysteries of love I hold within me
Are a darkness unrelieved by moon and stars.
And yet I feel more love than I have ever
Felt within the circle of a kiss.
Love need not be a passion or a fever,
Nor does it need a hand for its caress.
Love does not require a companion.
It doesn’t need an object or a home.
It flies above the ecstasy of morning
And fills the universe inside my room.
hi:))))hope you are doing very well:)))
thankyou so much for the precious visits to my page and leaving your wonderful comments and muchas gracious:)for the birthday cake:)it was very chweeet:)))think u had a blast on v.day:)))with lots of chocolates and other sweets:))))(joking)))
have a beautiful week ahead:))
Oh, Moe, of the Northern Lights and Roman Godesses’ fame! May you continue to shower your infinite light on us, tickle our funny bones, inform us of US of A and its activities and spread smiles on iLand! thanks for looking me up: sukham thanne, in spite of delhi-yile sukhamillatha thanuppu and pollution. regards, dilip
thank you for ur comment, moe yes, superstars do have a responsibility. and i feel shahrukh understands it well. i read a recent interview where he had said how he was trying to cut down on his smoking, and had been quite successful. i think it was wrong the part of minister to publicly pinpoint SRK and Amitabh…i think he did it just for some publicity. he could have made a personal request if he wanted to.
Even I had a similar experience two yrs back while attaching a video to send it…It worked in my system only……Ny way…thanks a lot for the faster response….
lols…. true avatar stuff… thalaivaa… with you around we dont need vivek or vadivel .. lols… i havent heard from s-akka since a week or so… but yes.. last heard her saying that total cleaning work was going on on the eve of pongal.
Hello Moe,
great to hear from you and your great vacation.. i am turning green with envy now.. wish i too had such a vacation(minus the walking.. lols).. anyways.. its real good that you had a lovely break….
and yes.. its great to see people write and i too love to read my friends blogs.. only that some of the live as if they are in the arctic.. i.e. hibernating for 6 months.
contd…. tomorrow…
Thanks for that wonderful comment on my guest book… coming as it is from the gb specialist.. it is no surprise… Lols…
yes.. Jissy’s and Tamilini’s comment were great.. but i gave Jissy a rap on her knuckles.. for backing out on the ‘refuse’ thingy.. and bang she comes to my gb and writes about it.. so thoughtful of her…
as for tamilini… i will have to get at her… next time she sees any ape, not just an orangutan.. she is going to remember me i guess… lols… but then the consolation is that, that way atleast ppl might not forget me and remember me… :)))
as such i dont mind ppl calling me anything.. but u know when some ppl call me Don ji (that ji is out of respect).. i dread sometimes.. u know that the letter j and k are nearby on the keyboard and by mistake if the letter k is typed out instead of the letter j.. it will become Don ki…. now u must have got the point …. :))))
have a great day ahead thalaiva…
PLENTY OF HAPPENINGS AROUND GO UNNOTICED,,,THUS WE GET DEPRIVED OF PLEASURES SCATTERED AROUND US IN ABUNDENCE,,,,,,NO DEAR,,,Reality is when the dog chases - RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Inder ,,,INDER DOESNT RUNS,,DOGS LOVE INDER TOO,,heheheeeee
stint at the Ashram? lols… there things, er, apart from the environment are taught.. lols..
You are right about the refuse thing.. we could use your suggestion as one of the many connotations on that one… i am waiting for others to chip in with their suggestions too… it will be great to read diff perspectives…
s-akka is very busy since the last couple of days it seems… no reply to sms also.. but avunga weekend la nariya replies and leg pulling kooda pannanga of course thro sms only…. lols…
btw, some ppl like ur dreamspace so much.. i dont know wots there to feel great about watching ur dreamspace… athula innatha azhagu irukku.. korangu face la vera inna irukka poguthu.. lols..
THATS WHERE THE BALANCING ACT IS NEEDED,,,,YES DEAR,I DO AGREE OUTER AND INNER PEACE MUST STAY BALANCED SO AS TO ACHIEVE HARMONY,,,,,, SOME WHERE WE NEED TO DRAW A LINE,,HOW MUCH OF ACCIDENTAL WE SHOULD BE? AND UNDER WHAT MIND SET?,,,,ITS THE INNER PEACE WHICH WILL FIANALLY MATTER,,,MATERIAL GAINS WILL AUTOMATICALLY COME TO THE BALANCING EXTENT I SUPPOSE SO….. :)))))))))))))))))))))))
yes moe..effect is of global nature and may affect whole of the earth may be whole of the universe…….india no exception…..THANKS FOR YOU VIEWING THE WRITE UP….AND COMMENTING ON THAT.
Darn !! you are awake when you are asleep? how did ya manage to post this gb when u r fast asleep? darn.. i have heard of ppl sleep walking… dont tell me you are sleep gbing…… lols.. well u can post that pic on a photo sharing site and post the html link in that blog… so pic will be up in an instant.. like instant coffee… :)))
thanks for the gb.. everythings fine at my end too… havent heard from sr. akka since long… talked to jr akka two days back…

Busy Moe… So no new posts. But that doesn’t mean at all that I am not here! Verty much alive and enjoying friends’ posts. Commenting whenever I can. And as far Pizzas go, you know that’s my weakness… Ever since the art of salsa making has been finetuned…. tweaked…. I am a devout worshipper of that Italian ecstasy!

The last question I ask you is, ‘Are we going to sympathise with all those who are sentenced?’ If no is the answer then he too should be getting what he has sown. Law of the land should be equal for all.
I like the idea of yours… his puishment should be a heavy fine… a really heavy fine. And a lifelong ban on working in movies. But again, we think in this fashion because we tend to sympathise with him as he is a public figure. How many of the other criminals get the same degree of attention, media coverage and public sympathy? The punishments that you suggest is not identified by the IPC. Another point is that even after paying fine and being stripped of the stardom he can still live in comfort, much better than us, hard working, God fearing, honest non-criminal types. What exactly his crime was will never become public. That he was sentenced for keeping illegal arms might just be the tip of the ice berg. I really believe that he IS getting the undue advantage of being a public figure, and also of having political connections. My only contention is that he should be seen sans his stardom and should be treated at par with other criminals.
Good Morning Moe, I have been asked why I called you thambi’s thatha when you are his thalaivar. Now you can make out who is merratufying who…:)))
Oh Moe, I am indeed honoured that u put this senior most in kg category. See, none of u can deny that.. he he….And now you’ve got him big-headed with all your mention of ‘thambi’ and yeah right, why won’t he ‘hichkis’. Finally you’re going to make him a spoilt brat ….:)))))))))
And no wonder he puts you on a platform addressing you as his thalaivar. Do I see the heights of sycophancy here??..ha ha ha
Nice weather here but we had a problem with those crazy builders next door with vehicles and cement bags off loaded on the common road not allowing any traffic to pass through and had to use some threat or the other to put some sense in their heads. Lunch was from G.shankar and the sambar was delicious today and had generous helpings of it but with rice..:))))) Have a wonderful day Moe and take care..:)

You mention a skunk and the wonderful fragrance it leaves behind… Reminds me of a bumper sticker I found on a car long timwe back…” I fart to make you smell better!” Friday is just a coupla days away! What did you have for lunch and dinner yesterday? The Labanese restaurant was good you say…

You said ‘…they do not let it get to them -if it does then they are history’. I never thought too much about that. You’re right; isn’t that a reason to be optimistic?
Good Morning Moe, you must be happy with the showers despite the heat today. Inga rendu naala ore cloudy weather and drizzle. Kind of damp weather which is not too great….. Walking stick?

Hello, came around to wish you for the noon and eve and call it a day. For a change we had minced meat for dinner with idiappam and some meat bone korma. We very rarely have during the week and now everyone here is forcing me to and I guess you know why….:)
Enjoy your lunch, noon and eve more and if I’m up and online shall wish you my time in the morn…….take care:))
Have a wonderful day and you must be done with your b’fast. We had idlis and kadala kulambu, like how you’ll have it with puttu. Tasted quite good…..Shall drop by later…Take care:)
ha ha ha appa neenga Moekku bathilla Roe ayiduveenga:))))))) not a bad idea if that going to get you hopping this side to visit us all….. thanks for your heartfelt wishes, aamma avar inniyum oru five-six ampules edukka vendum endru solli irukkirar. Which is for the better and will put me back into normal mode…..
Believe me i myself find it tough to write in Tamil all the time and you’re doing great Moe. Some of the words you write are so musical and humorous to read and that adds to the speciality…:))))))) Anytime you wanna stop just go ahead, ok…..Atleast you went to that extent in Hindi, if I told you about my performance in school learning proper senthamil, you’ll laugh……I was always the target of fun and knowing my reluctance to read in front of the class I will be literally dragged by my ears and the whole class will have some fun at my expense…..
Yes, ue is back and I requested an invite from her. it was great to hear from her but after today never know when next.:(
Moe moosing that he is moooooooserable? tch tch. may be you’ll can have a pipe line running from the Australian outback into your country which will give you guys adequate supply of mooo products…..What say? :)))))))))))))
A very late Good night to you, still wishing you have a peaceful restful sleep and hope you turned in at your usual time. Naan kumbakarni poolla thoongitaen, maybe all those nights of shorter sleep hours. I needed it and feeling fresh and cheerful this morn with the sun not out to kill but warm and a gentle breeze……..hmmm to be honest it’s been a long time since I felt so good. Ithulla test resultsum quite normal and inaikku doc solluvaar enna pannanum endru….orru paattu oda first few lines nyabathukku varuthu- ‘the sun is out…… the sky is blue……..not a cloud to spoil the view……’ the next line of the song doesn’t apply. Do you remember, ‘It’s raining in my heart’?
neenga sollratha paartha innimael anga fuel will be cheaper than milk poolla……unga oorla thaan anything is possible..:)))))))))) God save the poor cows!!M Akka vera ungalla ippadi oru kelvi kaetuttanga:)))))))))))) Happy zzzing Moe and hope you wake p to a beautiful day…:))
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend, I am sure you are, especially, netru kan test panneettu, inaikku ellamae vithyasama theriyum namma Presikku:))))))))))
methuva etti parkalam endru vanthaen appo thaan thambi ungalukku mrf nnu pattam sootiyirukaar endru theriyavanthathu.:)))))))) That’s a good one and must tell him that……madam ue udaya sunday special nyabagathukku vanthathu……appa thaan unga weekend specialaiyum ninaithu sirippu vanathathu. See you tomorrow…..:))
Hi Moe,
Thanks for the comment on my post. But I feel nobody’s ‘disabled’ in this world. People can be differently abled. Somehow I feel that labelling a person as disabled restricts his or her growth because then we tend to see that person as not having any abilities at all. That’s not true. Even in the example that you gave, the children were enjoying life. And, fortunately, in their case, parents were also supportive. That makes a lot of difference.
Hey Moe,
I’ve put up a new post on a serious topic. Please have a look.
I am glad to know that I reminded you of your teacher. A bit of nostalgia is always welcome.
tomo I have an important work………..I generally stay at home….do not go out much…..today as soon as i rememebered it is friday….I logged on to rediff to check ur friday humour……::):):) TGIG:):)
ungalukku eppavum readya irukkum, no doubts about it. in fact saapidum bothu ninaithu kondaen. I’m sure you’ll like it. They usually take it with a sweet hot mango pickle which is yum. avunga busya irrukiraanga poolirukku, netru oru puyyal mathiri vanthu friends posts ellam padithuvittu, gbllayum msg ezhutheetu poonaanga.:))) I’ve seen her do that every time she takes a break. Admire that quality of hers. Take care….:))
You’re impossible, athuvum bakhi vaikkavillay endru solla varreenga. Ippo dinner patri solratha vaendaamannu yosanai.:))))) Athuvum neenga innaiku vaellai mudithuvittu naera veetukku poonalum poveenga. Something we haven’t had in a long time, so I am going to say it- Mushroom tomato sevai, coriander coconut chutney and curd sevai.
Hope your day is going good, enjoy your friday and have a great weekend Moe:))
Thank you, Moe…yes, it is pretty ironical. College is going fine, and what’s really cool is that this week we have Friday off too, so this is one long weekend :).
Good Morning dear friend, nice to know you enjoyed the lovely morning breeze. It really gets one going, doesn’t it? enakku theriyum neenga summa solreengannu, aanna oru naal neenga kanaadikku mun ninettu, ithu yaar endru kaetkaama irintha sari.:)))))))))))))
Some days it feels good to laze around the house just attending to small chores but I’m glad neenga naallaikku kan testukku poreenga.:) rendu naala pagal, iravaagavum, vice versava maarivittathu…… Quite warm today. Ordered some theplas (gujrati) thick chapathis with some masala powders and fenugreek/ coriander leaves mixed in. Tastes yum and have it as an evening snack. You must be joyous that it’s Friday :)))))))) shall drop by later .
Have a wonderful day and take care:))
Hey Moe,
My students are becoming smarter with each passing day but I always tell them that I am smarter than them otherwise it would become too difficult for me.
Mornings and evenings have become very cool but afternoon’s still pretty hot and humid. It rained for a couple of days some time back. Then it was dry again. All the potholes have dried up too. So it’s easier to walk on the road at present. ;-)))))))
U got me in splits again……..:))))))))) Maaaannn! You and your sense of humour, deadly combo…..!!!! I only hope the next time I decide to eat there I don’t go into fits of laffter thinking of what you told me….Truth is, very likely that it will happen……..! Thank God, I’m off all kinds of Soya, never liked it except for the tofu in Chinese dishes…..Now that you’re telling me I’ll try the chicken tikka once and let you know how it is……aloo patti was quite good…..
Yes, the evening is pretty good and thambi kitta irinthu konja neram mun thaan message vanthathu. He’s sure having a great time even more so pulling everyone’s legs….:)))))))))
They have the same veggies here as well and didn’t want the vinegar too. But they give very less olives and jalapenos. I let them put the tomatoes and though gooey it was tasting good with the pickles, onions, cucumber,lettuce and a slice of cheese and had only the aloo patti. Veg. patti is still not available here. They do have some Indian stuff for us- paneer tikka, soya and lentil nuggets and chicken tikka/seekh. Somehow I don’t like these combos where they put in the Indian stuff, even pizzas I prefer without them. The breads are Italian, wheat, Parmesan-oregano and honey oat. Sauces, are the same except maybe mint mayonnaise…… I went in for the mayonnaise and a dash of honey mustard. Having had my first, i think the next time I can choose what I want in the sandwich. Since it’s just started a lot of condiments in the non-veg section are still unavailable…Chose the Parmesan-oregano bread and it didn’t go soggy even after awhile..
A very Good Morning to you…..don’t know whether to laugh or write. You sure are truly blessed endru thaan sollavendum, ha ha ha…. I just couldn’t help laughing. Ninaithu paarthaal, ithu yenna sodhanaiyo, kashtamaga thaan irukirathu. UE padithirunthaal she would have gone into a giggling spree….
Hope the weather does get cooler this evening. Kannadi patri yen ezhuthinaen endraal, naan ennaipatriyae tamash seythukondirinthen…… Kannadiyil mugam matum paarthaal paravaayillay, matrathellam paarkum pozhuthu, sirippu, azhugaiyaga maari vidum endru:))))))))))
Can’t really complain about the weather here though it is sunny and the day was pretty good. Picked up a veg. sandwich at the newly opened Subway and it was quite good. Lunch didn’t seem to whet my appetite enough that I found myself so hungry in the next three to four hours…..
Hi Moe, i agree, but i would argue that a poltical understanding and the dynamics of the political whirlpool would do a great deal of good to the incumbents to the high offices of the land - not necessarily a politician in the conventional sense of the term. a whiff of fresh air will always be good, all the same, the incumbents should have a good grasp of the operational mechanics of our constitutional and parliamentary polity…
Done with guests and something told me I’ll hear from UE so I came online and I was right. Just replied, read yours and thanks a ton. Felt a lot better….:))
Yes, as of now, namma rendu peyar thaan nadathikondu poganum but I guess Meena will be back soon and you’re right about thambi enjoying all that kalyana saapaadu. Naan solleerkaen saapidum poothelam namallayum ninanithu kollavendum endru….:)))))))))) Hope your day is going good and take care Moe…:))
A very Good Morning Mr.Whale…..I see you’ve had a whale of a time walloping all the goodie sea foodie that you’ve made me go green :))))))))) Sent you a welcome mail and I suppose you haven’t read it. Glad you had a great time Moe including the drive home and welcome back. It’s great to see you as with both the Pres and Secy off iland it’s been pretty quiet…..
Oh yes, thambi is trying to make that extra buck someway and well his appavi nature comes to our aid all the time….his demands usually fizzle out in no time……This time went to the extent of asking for his bank a/c no and I let the cat out of the bag too soon.:)))))))
Isn’t it great to see that MM is back….hope to see UE now. My weekend was quite good and had some delicious brunch and carried over lunch for tea time……a relaxing Sunday it was. Oh, you don’t have to call me that, no way, especially coming from you!!!!!! :))))))
heyyy Moe.. sry for these delayed response.. how u doing?
and yeah!! what u said is true.. even at work place thats the best thing i do.. blank mind.. u get ideas fast (and sometime sleep also, real fast!!) :))) Frozy!
I think I’ve hit the nail on the head… You’ll now see all the comments….. BTW what are you gonna have for dinner? I’ll have haandvo, a gujju specility. It’s a salted cake sort of thing. A batter consisting of flour ( rice 60% daals - toor, urad, mung and channa 40 %) soaked overnight in buttermilk. When it leavens salt, sugar, turmeric and a paste of ginger and chillies is added to it. A variety of grated vegetables (gourd, carrots, cauliflower, corn, peas.) go in next. Then the batter is given a tadka of oil, sesame seeds, asafoetida, mustard and red chillies- whole as well as powdered. once the tadka is done the mixture is baked in a greased and dusted dish for 40 minutes at 175* C. when done it is a mmmmmmm delicacy. Poke a knife in and if it doesn’t stick to it then it is done.
Ooops I didnt know you are away from India, in the US perhaps. Now I know why the jelly on toast so frequently…. i know how badly you must be missing home and homecooked food! Take care.
diapers ….or no diapers for our babies?……a hair raising reality….
…. …… ….
… … … …
… … … … …
shall we use them at all?…..do not miss it…..watch out the latest article
Good Morning EP Pres, you must be taking under the coolness of your fan (couldn’t help reading and laughing at the Khaitan in thambi’s) that you don’t want to venture into our ilands and UE’s been looking for you….:)))))Hope you had a wonderful night and the weather ain’t all that bad today though you had given us the forecast for the next few days…….
The sun out today though I won’t say it was hot, quite pleasant…..but the rains have brought all kind of tiny insects into the house that we have to keep the lights off for longer periods…..Now it’s understandable why you want to keep your favorite id-sa for weekends…:)))))))))) and here we want to enjoy something more exotic since it’s weekends, funny isn’t it?
You must be through with your bfast, hopefully so:). Had some fried kutti idlis for the evening and probably chapathis with some veg gravy for dinner. Have a wonderful day and take care:))
recently, accidentally i listened to the Irish ballad singer Loreena McKennitt and i fell in love with the music..and through her songs i came to know of Marrakesh and the samhain nights..
Hiiiiiii moe I hope you mst be having a nice weekend .thanks for your comments and mes.
Really :-))))))enjoyed your posts and the tamil .. cv is right you do have a terrific sense of humor not to mention a lightheartedness .that spreads to whomever meets you . God bless you for it !!byebye see you in your morning my evening on moday until then tc bye frly.regds .marivin
hahaha…..ithu thaan sathya sothanai enbathu. romba kashta padavaendam Moe :)))))))))))))) ippo ungalukku en thambi bathil kodukka vaendiya naeram vanthuvittathu. I was so amused by your comment-hilarious to say the least. Well, coming from you one shouldn’t be surprised……. I want UE to read that comment, she’s going to split her sides laffing.
I thought she said two days but I am not sure……Luckily, no cold and he’s on warmer terrain at the moment and should be back tomorrow. Dinner is our traditional arisi-paruppu sadam with onion raita and chutney.
Okay Moe, hope to see you in my morn and sometime during the weekend if possible. If I don’t have a great weekend. Gnite to me and G. Noon to you. Take care
Good Morning EP, I waited to let you finish your jelly bread to greet you for the day:))))))) Aah, wasn’t so lucky today to have even a glimpse of nessie though I myself tried to haunt her place for quite sometime this morn.:))
Did u tell me it’s Friday? s…h…i…t….:)))))))))))))) so you must be at your friday best to escape at your earliest, hmm?
It’s still pleasant weather here, not so cloudy and cool. Last night with the fan on he was shivering and I just couldn’t understand it as I felt so comfortable. Coaxed him to use more than usual sheeting to cover himself and thank God he agreed and felt better.:))))))
have a wonderful day and a great weekend. Any special plans for the weekend? Take care:))
leaving for home? now? pls dont temme that pal. i shall be kicked out from my job, just for thinking alone. god only knows wot will happen if i really do happen to leave someday. LoLs.
a good morning to you and wishing you a wonderful day and a great weekend ahead too.
Thank God its Friday Have a deadline to complete Annual Operation Plan.. cant leave office before that. .. its a no iland day for me.. Just opened to have some relief from work. Have a great day..

That was so hilarious… you surly rock Moe.. Loved that GB about Lizzie.. It also reminds of some funny story. I was living in the hostel those days. In Lucknow. On one Saturday night around 3 am I came out of my room just to take some fresh air. .. I saw light in one of the frnds’ room so went inside.. There I witnessed one of the funniest scenes of my life. About five six girls were trying to shoo the lizard out of the room with all their efforts into the vain…The girl who belonged to that room( or vice versa) was standing 12 feet outside the room… I laughed my belly out.. I am sure the lizard might be enjoying too. I took a broom and slowly touched tail of the lizard with it.. It started moving.. and you can well imagine the after event.. I was running behind the lizard and all the girls were behind me running and shouting.. :))))))))
Each of your wisdom teeth… How many wisdom teeth you have.. no wonder loads of it.. my dentist is nice.. he literally did the root canalling with almost no pain.. that’s why I called it date with dentist.. Although I was soooooo scared of him.. I Atlanta i used to go to an Indian restaurant near Peachtree center. One was near CNN also.. Both were punjabi..I New York and bufalo also I ate at some very good Indian and Chinese restrants.. I used to love those fortune cookies at Chinese ones.
Hi Moe, how are you? So yesterday was barbecue with the hot dogs, burgers, corn etc and then ending with fireworks- slurp slurp Great.. I too am foodie and love all Indian varieties from different regions.. When I was there, being vegetarian, I used to keep looking for Indian restaurants..;) How is your day going? My day was hectic.. Had an appointment with the dentist (date with the dentist :)) in the evening. Just came back.. Have a great Thursday….. Just one more day ;D
You got me laughing on two counts, one the hamburger and two about the hearing aids we’ll have to use and of course the dish water. You are really something:)))))))))). Now honarary secy has put a clause here that he won’t allow us on until he made sure we paid membership fees and that too in USD and he’s going to retain it is what I derive. Goes against the first rule of ‘appavi’ to be in the club. Also, he had to get the meaning of the term from me. can you tell me where all this leaves us and I’m yet to contact Meena about it all…..
It’s chole and bhatura on the dinner menu and lunch was chapati, dhal and veggies. Enjoy your day and take care……
Good Morning, hope you’re feeling much better now. Had your b’fast, right? That helped I hope. Yeah i guess it is SSDD most days for everyone. I thought UE won’t be in today and it was a sweet surprise to find that she was.
It’s still chill out here, no rains but cloudy. Have a wonderful day and take care:)
Hi Moe.. Sorry frnd, i could not respond to your GB yesterday.. A frnd came over so we went for dinner outside.. came back home very late… Hope you have a wonderful day ahead.. take care.. Good night
Hi Moe,
Yes, it has rained and has become cooler and students have become naughtier now. I’ve become a bit busy with some commitments. So, I won’t be able to visit iland every day, ok?
Hi…yes, I’m doing everything I can to enjoy college, though you’re right, things can go a little downhill at times. And when that happens, I’ll think of what you’ve said. Have you done anything really mischievous at college :)?
Hi Moe, u must pretty much be in snoozeland to be able to see my message. Had an okay sleep and it’s quite nice this morning. The weather is still cool and it’s cloudy today. Thanks Moe for your good effort to putting things back on line with thambi. hahaha…..look at what he has had to say….That’s how much he has understood me So Mr.President of the club now along with a joint decision between you and the honorary secretary of the club you’ll can induct Mari, Meena and me as your life members.
Got to tell Mari and Meena about this…..Have a good sleep and a wonderful holiday…hehehe just imagining you getting tipsy on those concoctions……tizzy on te*qu*il*a eh? awwwright! Have fun….and take care:)
“Enjoy reading and keep blogging and let some one learn from you something secret that you store for them, which others are never awared of it” - thohe
vara vara ungalukku maradhi romba jasthiya poetuchi..hmm… unga wify kitta complain pannaum, avanga remeady vaithu irruppanga… thalaila 4 thattu thatuna sariya poerum :)))) anyway, Have nice sleep. Good Night
Seriously Moe, i too asked the same question when i saw it. .. lol.. I was just walking alone from my hotel to the monuments… on the way i passed through , I saw some ppl standing there and getting photographed.. peeped in and then I found it.
Could not visit museums.. But saw some monuments over there.. such as Veteran’s Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Georgetown, Washington National Cathedral, the White House, national park etc.. Saw Niagra from canadian side ( its called horse shoe fall if I remember correctly) both during night and misty morning, as I was carrying the canadian visa… Will catch up with you later.. Good night..
Hi .. Good to see your message. I was wondering why i did not get reply as yet.. but then realized well your time to get up is when we all plan to go to sleep LOl. After my conference was over in Atlanta I went to Connecticut ( Yale University ), New jersey and then Manhattan on official travel. I had clubbed my holidays with work so after it was over I then spent good four days in New York City holidaying. Later went to Buffalo and Canada to see Niagara falls.. That was an awesome experience Moe. Then I went to you own Washington DC and spent two days sightseeing from where I left back home. I liked WDC .. Unlike congested New York althought i found its night life megnificent. Our Delhi is more like WDC, open with huge parks and greenery. ..:)
Hey Moe, i know what you meant when u called him appavi, ok. I wanted to have some fun at his expense and that’s the reason I translated it so. I do understand that u would want to clear that and I too expected it.:)))))))) Wow, that’s so expensive. Thanks for letting me know and I’m very sure you’re heading the right direction in everything that you do.
I’ll call it a day and enjoy your afternoon and evening. :))
Ok, advice taken buddy:))))))). I guess you should know better about the surgery. hahaha, never miss a chance for some humour……..so this time its the owls:))))))))))) Well, well, Rajesh appavi? Does that translate dumb in English? hahaha. I want him to read this message…….
Goooood Morrnnnning Moooooeeeee…….so sorry but just came online after a long day and some rest. I haven’t read a single post today Moe and went straight to Mari’s and now to yours. I am in no rush to read and taking my own sweet time as I found spending too much time online can still drain me out.
Interesting stuff for dinner and believe me, ended up with sambar and idlis for bfast. The dough had turned more sour than usual so I won’t say it was great. Lunch was cow peas with turnips and broad beans curry and cluster beans for vegetable. Dinner is chapatis with cauliflower kurma. Mari’s having new kinds dosas and I’m sure it will be great.
Moe, U mean you discovered that you have power in your vision? Yeah, there are alternates as u said and even the power gets corrected by lasik surgery right? Hmm…. hope you get the right remedy and take care. You’re being generous in your compliments about my culinary skills…Gee……thanks:)))))))) Glad the weather is cool..
Things are fine where I stay but I have never experienced such heavy rain so has not stepped out of my house….
Diwali….It wud be somewhere after oct….right??? Hope ur crackers burst ….in diwali:):)

Armymen paraded naked for tring to rape 17 yrs old

Hi Moe,
I am not so lucky. No rains yet in Baroda. Heat is making me breathless at times. When I get the bout of breathlessness I have to lie down and when I lie down I don’t feel like getting up.
You a pest? I don’t think so. I am going to ask Mari and CV whether they consider you to be a pest or guest. ;-)))))))))
Is something wrong with Mari’s GB? Tried posting a message on her GB but it just did not go. I am not in a position to mail her. What to do?
Hi moe, good morning. i hope u had good night sleep. hmm… here, just a boring day, nothing special, i tried to write something but, i couldnt. just now i am reading others post … may be it takes another one hour. how r u? take care. have a wonderful day. bye.

Moe, sorry, am not able to post in her gb and had it in my clipboard and put it here. The cat’s out of the bag and already mari was laffing and now I am too, imagining you drinking it up:))))))))))))))))))))
Hi dear Moe, some similarity there, I love lots and lots of sambar with idlis and with rice too, you’ll find the gravies running from the rice. everyone, even in my family is so surprised as to how I can add on so much but I prefer it that way.
I know some North indians who drink up the sambar too:)))))))))))))
I read Mari’s message about Thunder. Though i’m not a great friend of his, I enjoy all his posts especially his latest and what Mari says is surprising.

Dear Moe, A wonderful morning to you.:)) I hope the drizzle has cooled down the climate but I doubt with it being so cloudy…My day’s been good, thanks…Moe, I’m so glad to read that Mari enjoyed herself thinking of our jokes when she turned out that delicious meal. She was so considerate to me as I hadn’t eaten nv yesterday but I guess I haven’t missed much making do with the mention of her menu for the day in your gb.:)) I still haven’t gotten the mail from her for the abrreviations and looks like she didn’t receive any of mine either.:((( lunch we had sambhar and bitter gourd vegetable that didn’t turn out as usual but not bad. Have a wonderful day and take care:)))
Moe,gm to you ….
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii E.P.., I shall call you so no prob’s no?:-)

twas a fleeting thought. Don’t u see the anger in it ??? haaa….then I’m normal now. Cool! And haa.. glad that u liked the verse atleast. To me it seems a ramble. See yaa. Jess.
when the don speaks, every one listens… it is that way since centuries.. and it will be that way in future too….
and if u are wondering who the don is… well, u were talking to me aint it? yest. caught up wid akka at last… there were a couple of speed breakers… but then thoroughly enjoyable… just as sweet as her posts.
Thanks for your ocmments on my GB Moe.. I do not beleive those so called diets.. I eat every thing in moderation.. The idea is to have healthy food with moderation.. and go for regular exercises.. BTW i am foody and do deviate sometimes but then somehow balance it out.. And i cant stay away from the rice.. No way! So lets share some low calorie good healthy recipes.. and remain healthy.. Regards, Angel
Hi Moe, saw your comments in sathiya’s GB about comments.. I like Namrata’s approach.. But you know what, there is a diffrence between providing good, critical comments subtally and being judgemental..Sometimes people, just based on reading a post, start assessing the personality of the writer without knowing him or her and unnecessarily pass on guru gyan and judgemental remarks.. Thats not good.. I have seen here ppl locking their horns on nasty comments.. Dont you agree? Regards, Angel
so you’ve read i’ve been laughing so much thanks yeah ! see i decide that i have bugged you with so many messages and edecide saw how fast iam in breaking it that’s mari ..you both have to put upwith me sorry can’t be helped :-))))))))))) beyond redemption ..

Yes Moe, i agree temperature wise it lesser that here but it’s the humidity that’s killing. I stepped out for awhile and came back in. So what’s for lunch, eating out or are you heading straight home? Take care and i’ll be back to wish you for the day:))

so shallwish now if i don’t get to see you happy week end bye !!!
The best I can do is ‘Welcome to the joys of summer’:). it must be real bad Moe and how terrible that you have to put up with it and with high humidity it’s worse, like as if the air is hung up around us. That’s the feeling i get when I go to Chennai. I will remember this now as you’ve already told us about the start of summer. What are the temperatures like? You seem happy that it is Friday and you can take off early. Good:)))))))
Dinner is Tomato Sevvai (broken idiyappam) and chutney.. Thank God the power came on as it was getting hotter by the minute though it is evening.
No special plans for the weekend, just the usual. Take care :))))))
hi moe, nice to read ur morning and evening msgs. i am little busy, so i couldnt come online. so, howz u? hmm…. now it is untime, so u must be in deep sleep:))) take care.
Good Morning Moe. Hope it’s a beautiful day out there and you’re fine and enjoying it. I’ve been fine most of the day but just felt a bit off color for a couple of hours and sprung back to normalcy:) Moe, Mari’s out for the evening and will be back later…1st Friday of the month so you can guess where. Asked me to inform you So Swiss Bank has painted some descriptions for you I heard and was so amused thinking of your reactions:))))))))))). I’ll wait to hear and send you a fwd of one incident.
Lunch was Chapatis, mixed veg kurma and your favorite okra which we usually chop into smaller rounds, dry fry with a little oil. Fry mustard, urad dhal, small onions, add the okra, sprinkle sambar powder and turmeric and salt and fry lightly till raw smell goes and bfast was as mentd last eve- puris.
We have a power cut now and very little battery Moe so shall be back when power is on. Have a wonderful day and take care:)))))))))))))))))
I am off now .. told cv to tellyou

i have told cv abt .it she says you must be having a good laugh ..i mean our description..- matters ? you get me no?!:–))))))))))))))
or is it going to be like yesterday ..:-)
anyway bye ciao laterfriend :-))))))))))))))
Hi Moe,
Flavoured water??? What flavour do you use? I am imagining the day when you will be back in India. First, it was AC. Now, flavoured water. You are going to be in deep trouble, Mr. Snob. ;-))))))))))))) I used to have flavoured water too. Warm water with cumin seed (jeera) I like it’s taste provided you drink it warm. But now I am getting used to drinking plain water. We can’t get flavoured water everywhere, can we?
Your message tells me I’m late, missed wishing you and you’re already in snooze land.:( Hope you’re having a wonderful sleep Moe. I called it a day early and feeling refreshed this morn just as your message states:))))))))))))). Usual idlis and tomato-potato kuzhambu fare and still deciding the lunch menu. Mari is always underestimating her capabilities, hmm…shows what a humble person she is….I’ll be around to wish you in your morn, thanks for your beautiful wishes and take care:)))))))
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii moe good night to you
me slept like a log …and got up late too .. oh! one of those blissful days remember?!
moe could you pll give your office timimgsin my time tha t is my Indian time ..
i am little dull in maths and time ..

tc frly regds marivin
Oh Moe, that last post reallu meant nothing at all. But thanks for stopping by, you give me strength when I need it most. I know I have not been a great friend lately, been tied up, but thanks. Planted the veggies this past weekend and lots of geraniums too. Place is looking nice. I will read your latest now dear friend. Thanks again
Hi Moe, exited your post and went out for awhile and back:)) What Mari said was really cute. Enjoyed your post and thanks for the explanation. What’s for lunch today? Hope i am not late to wish mari a good nite. Will try to catch you early morn. Have a wonderful day and take care:)
Hi Moe,
Great teachers are always an asset. They mould minds.
About your comment praising me, that’s one big problem that I face. When somebody praises me I don’t know how to react. Many of my blogger friends are praising me now-a-days. You tell me what to do? :-)))
ok moe am off to supper feeling hungry … then of to snooze so i’ take off bye have a good lunch
take care gn to me and gafternoon to you ciao in my morning your even’ bye frly regds marivin:-)))))))))))))))))))
enjoyed your post moe :-)))))))))))))))))thanks
Hey Moe,
You’ll find the blogs about Diamond Jubilee in the category ‘Did You Know?’ I guess now it shouldn’t be difficult for you to search. ;-)))))))
By the way, thanks for the compliment about me on CV’s GB. You know which comment , don’t you? I am blushing.
Moe you had asked me what’s for?:-))))… ah yes! What cv did yesterday but with slight variation stuffed chapathis .. with onion raitha
I think You know no moe? Hope it’won’t be tedious for you to listen
The dough must be mixed in correct proportion
Then the usual potato masal is made with green chilies , ginger and coriander shreds and just a tomato
In a cup like dough you stuff the masal carefully so that they don’t fall off and then make it like you do the chappathis you fry both sides with oil not as you do for puri’s ..but
And then it’s ready to serve..
remember it will taste good only if it’s made and served hot
And the going also will be very slow only ..
Finished must get to hear what cv is about for today .. so ciao moe . leave you to answer your mails bye and what about you ?
Goody Good Moorrnnnning to you:))))))))))) I had to give my wish some extra sugar coating Moe :))))) hahaha you heard it? and what fun, I didn’t hear you enter as i was taking a nap in one corner:))))) well, that helped a lot and thanks! So your morning is good and am glad. Haven’t muffined for long have you or I missed out? It’s been quite hot today but bearable.
Lunch was green gram curry with carrot raita and cluster beans and dinner I guess we’ll settle for some semia uppma with red chutney. I wonder what Mari had and I’m yet to visit her this eve. Take care and have a wonderful day:)))))))
moe i wanted to race you in saying hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii but again this rediff let me down to day
tomorrow is always there no?!
shall beat you :-))))))))))))))))))))))
my day was ok . shall come later give time i’mgonna say hiiiiiiiiiiiii to chittu bye
Hey Moe,
Read Rajesh’s comment on your GB stating that I have better command over Gujju language than him even though it’s his mother tongue. I was born and brought up in Baroda, the cultural capital of Gujarat. That’s why I am comfortable speaking in Gujarati but if you tell me to speak in Malayalam, my mother tongue, I’ll be groping for words. So, Rajesh is much better than me in that respect. At least, he speaks his mother tongue.
Hey Moe,
Think you didn’t go through my previous posts on Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the school where I teach.
Yes, I teach Computer theory to kids in Primary section. It’s a difficult task. They are more interested in computer practicals. They like to play computer games. ;-)))))) But I really enjoy my job. I have tried a bit to be like your English professor when it comes to teaching. I don’t feed them with bookish knowledge alone. I am not sure whether they’ll follow all the advices that I give them. Some of the students who have left the school, though, come and tell me that they still remember things that I had told them in class. Isn’t that a wonderful compliment for any teacher? :-)))
You wrote: “Well you could have bitten me off -but then what does a Sponge taste like? So how did you get fluent in Tamil. Were you in TN for some time or just picked it up. Seriously -I really admire folks who are fluent in languages other than their own. Take care. ”
Darn !! I thot that was a piece of cheese… i dont want no sponge…
fluent in tamil? well, it so happens that i was born and brought up here. so i guess i dont have to say anything more. Yesterday, i got a certification from Meena akka that i sound like a propah tamilian only.. not someone for whom it is a foreign language… and yes.. i wud definitely love to learn a couple of European languages and Urdu. that is my wish.
moe gn to you :-)))))))))))))))) thanks moe for such an high encomium :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))) do i deserve it? i don’t know ? any way thanks to you and chitra .bye ciao marivin
Oh my, in my anxious state I didn’t let the rest of your message even register. haha, I like that and agree Mari will indeed be our swiss bank:)))))))))))I hope she’s read that message. Yes Moe, right philosophy one indeed requires two hands to make it work but the quality of the first hand is what makes the second hand make the choice of wanting to move in the right direction, is it not? I did think of you’ll when had my dinner.:)))))I am glad that you enjoy our messages as much as I do yours and hers. Over to Mari and hope you’re getting good sleep. Take care:)
Dear Moe, thanks a ton and both of you have said almost the same. Wow! I’m sorry I bugged you a bit, reminding you unnecessarily. Have a wonderful night and it’s my turn to thank God for giving me friends like Mari and you. A pleasant morning today, thanks for your wishes.Good night and take care:))
hey mm… thank ur lucky stars that u r in yankeedom.. otherwise i wud sure have bitten u off… i mean i am a food junkie.. and wid an avatar like urs.. i sure wud b tempted to take a bite… LoLs..
hmm.. as for languages… i wish to learn a few more.. but constraints of both time and availability of quality teachers is proving to be an impediment towards the same. but then lots of ppl know half a dozen languages .. so me thinks y u r surprised….
i use tamil wid CV, Meena and gifty… and gujju with Jissy - her command over gujju is much more than mine.. even though it happens to be my mother tongue… i love both the languages a lot….
Good afternoon Moe, it’s been awhile and I sat here looking forward to a reply. Mari did and you take your own time ok. have a wonderful non and eve and will see you tomorrow:)))) Take care:))
Good morning Moe…….or nearly afternoon…..Please revisit some of my old posts, i have jazzed up a few of my favs. Hope all is well with you….Will stop by later……Do take care…..
Good morning…..see this is the drawback of my style of reading blogs….one person a day….your turn came after 8 days….and one more thing….in future too I may not be a regular visitor but promise to stick with me and remain in touch forever…I value you and other iland friends a lot…have a good day…wanna see some funny things? go to rajeshvohra.rediffiland.com and see my comments on his posts (last 4 posts). he is a very dear friend and we are on mobile terms with each other….do a leg pulling a lot too
Hi Moe, that’s an interesting spread. So by the time you’ll are done with the Appetisers, the kids get to the main course..:)))) isn’t that how it usually happens? Was it a beer BBQ or something more exotic? I woke up quite early this morn though we went to sleep around midnight but feel pretty fresh. I hope and am sure Mari’s having a great time and I wondered whether she treated all of them with her biryani yesterday. I happened to read Namrata’s post on MM’s wedding and it’s amazing that they have so many days of rituals to follow. And news to me that they are not allowed to go out for eight days as he has said here. Take care and good snoozing:)
Oh!! n your marriage for me is like jet speed… We have so many rituals to follow really its like the bride n grooms feels irritated for some time… you will be surprise to know that bride n groom cannot go out for 8 days from the date of marriage….!!
Great to hear from you Moe and so glad you’ll had a wonderful time. So you’ll made it in time before the crowds hit and must have helped you’ll have more space and fun…:)) Talk about missing the two of you..:( I have been too. Mari did drop in on Saturday and it was a pleasure to read her message. I like the way you word it-barbachoo :))) hmm, makes me hungry imagining all the goodies you’ll would have had. My week end was pretty good and fun too….Have a wonderful sleep and hope to see you tomorrow. Good Night!:)
Hope you are doing great. I would like to envite you to visit my Philosophy section in my blog and give your critical comments. So far i got comments only in one topic.
Hi Moe, have a nice sleep ya, c u tmmrw… lovely morning here, lets see after 10….. this blazing sun is going to kill us…. just kidding Moe. u know, after this agni , it is better now. take care. c u.
so you bel. me thanks !!! i think you must be beaming all smiles :-)!!!!!! haappy about the congratulationds flowing in….good for you !! happy for you :-))))
Hi moe, I made a mixed dough-dosa rice flour ,wheat ,ragi and rava in equal proportions mixing it to make a dough and then make it into dosas with rib gourd sambhar and coriander chutney. Act. Finshed my supper early felt hungry no? am sitting to read as well as write
So shall bid Good .A.N to you and gn tome tc frly regds mari vin have a great day !!
A big sigh of relief as I finally sent you the recipe:)). Seasoned dosas: we fry some mustard, urad dal, finely chopped small onions, a small tomato (optional), curry leaves and broken red chillies lightly fried with the others and blend it in the dough and make slightly thicker than usual dosas and thinner than uthappams. Mari also make is but I don’t know the exact ingredients. Thanks.I’ll keep kalpatharu in mind. Ok Moe if possible i’ll see you later:) Take care:)
contd.. we call it vanjiram meen, may be that will help. Sea fish is expensive, this seer costs 300 a kilo now, river or dam fish is cheaper at 80-150 a kilo. Dinner is seasoned dosas with chutney and curd rice. Enjoy your day Moe and in case I don’t wish you in time Have a wonderful weekend:))
Hi Moe, I had a good laugh reading about that food part and your oinks:)))))))).
So hope everything goes by your plans for the weekend, esp to the beach.
Tirupur is about 60 kms to the interior from here and yes, that was a terrible tragedy. When I get to hear of these incidents, there was also a horrible road accident in Chenglepet where the car sandwiched between a bus and lorry caught fire, i wonder how they’d be before such a calamity befall them. Will they even sense for a moment……..will never have answers to these questions. I can’t imagine how a compound wall can collapse, I mean in terms of the strength of its foundation to be unable to withstand one hour of incessant rains. No answers to why they would want to have the tasmac bars with zinc or asbestos roofing either.
I think it is nei meen, has only a central bone, but not too sure. Sorry, i’m bringing in the topic of food again but Kari meen Kerala style is my favorite and the best I have had is in Kottayam.
moe yes i do it ….when the rains come i like to get wet ..so no silliness :-))))
so you did make me wait …good i enjoyed the joke :-))
leave you to answer mails bye
Good Morning Moe …. day went by with a plesent weather….:D i am really busy today, b’coz to get college admission for my second daughter. its a long story. may be someother time, i’ll write abt it. Have a wonderful day. take care.
you no know something moe a.n . now what did we have for lunch? Ah yes dry lunch that is lemon rice and curd rice that is seasoned with tiny pieces of ginger ,chillies and fresh coriander with potato fry .now for the night I must think out ……
shall write about one more of my daughter’s playful activities .. in the mean time I recollected an incident I saw and another I heard and that I’m writing moe shall put that up .day after ok until later ..
Hi moegm to you here the weather has considerably changed and rains everywhere except in city . ah yes I heard in the news delayed ains to Kerala so obvious to TN no? little stuffy tho’ hope it rains here too.
Btw moe for my post I wondered why you and cv delayed cos itold you’ll first cv was on line somewhere so I knew she give her comments late but you ?:- ) then I knew .. : -) from what you said to cv : - )
I know my two friends no?! ah! You’ve said about three dayshols I bel . is it then I must wish you a long happy week end no?
any away what’s your post to be next .. ?
I had over slept that’s why the delay ..
Shall come to you later tc
Good Morning Moe.:) the power came back after a few hours. Thank God since it was very sultry this noon, cloudy with the slightest of drizzle. I agree with you about swimming Moe. That’s how my husband had learnt too in a well. usually it comes easier when young and with my bronchitis problem my folks must have been scared to put me in the water then.
Yes, Mari is not to be seen and i guess she must be busy. Didn’t get the seer fish we wanted to today so will settle for some light veg for dinner. it’s nice to get these offers in restaurants:)
Moe@ with reference to your suggestion: ie not a bad idea. the cellphone is outdated very easily secondly the battery life long is short in cellphone. thanks for your suggestion. i like you suggestion. hope the suggestion given to me by our friends will not only benefit to me but also to all the members.
GN to you and GM to me. Pretty cool this morning though last evening was breezy with a slight drizzle which only sent the heat up a few degrees. I’ve always wanted to learn to swim and however old I am surely going to pick that up one day. made two attempts, the first one my friend taught a couple of us the breast stroke without teaching us to float first and that became a handicap in my second lesson which ended in a few days as i came down with a viral infection. I always wondered why some people have jacuzzis in house when the best part of the jacuzzi is to enjoy it in the open with a starlit sky and a cool breeze.:) Any plans for the Memorial day weekend? Power shut down today so can’t come online as my battery is down already. So wishing you a wonderful morning too Moe. Take care:)
Well we did think of buying a new camera but then decided against it. Said let us memorise each moment and keep it for posterity. A new experience for me who is generally a camera crazy person. Love shooting pics. Shot plenty in Goa and kashmir too. Sometimes it is good to be without certain conveniences like mobile not working in certain areas, no electricity on high mountains, no net conection. Helps one connect with nature I feel.
No Moe, this is a pic of the shikara on Dal lake Srinagar, Kashmir. Unfortunately my camera conked off on way to Corbett. This is a net pic. Had to share………though.
Avocados we basically get in Ooty Moe and I assumed it was grown there and in Bangalore. Nowadays it is available here also. I love artichokes too, the steamed leaves with melted butter or plain and the hearts in a baked dish. Do you like chinese mushrooms? I love the taste of them but never settled well in my system. Not available here. Oh, i liked the way you wanted to tease Mari, that was so cute Moe. If i say anything more, i’ll begin to see colors- pink or red?:)). One of these days I am going to and you’ll find it hard to come out of your b****y state:))))) keep it going good, dear.:)
i am moved moe:-))))thanks a zilllion i like that coinage how come? i’ll borrow it from you ok so thanks a zillion.. :-))))mari
i’m pushing off must think of something for the night ..
so good afternoon and gn to me bye have a nice day !!take care moe frly regds marivin
hiiiiiiiiiii:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))) moe guess why i’m having a laugh act . i read the post to all my people at home this one specially .. and then i took a bet with them that my two friend s would find something good in it whenthere isn’t and there you both had penned just that !! imagine the joy !! REALLY DO I DESERVE SUCH GREAT FRIENDS LIKE YOU’LL?!!! MUST SHARE IT WITH ROSA NEXT TIME SHE RINGS UP ..and i’ll tel you’ll what she said ok
BTW, i can imagine the sweat breaking from the heat of the chillies. I experience the same when I have those stuffed chillies. I don’t take pickles at all Moe, doc’s advice to stay off and i miss them and coffee which I’ve given up on due to my ayurvedic medication. Take care:)
Hi Moe, your message to Mari appeared just as i was posting mine:) I loved her honesty in admitting it and high hopes she’s got that we’ll see her in a different light.:)) I love her all the more for it.
I love Jalapenos but I don’t know whether the one’s they use here in pizzas is fresh. There’s a restaurant here which makes good nachos and I love their avacado dip and jalapenos that go with it. I’m not sure whether it’s the authentic version though.
Hope the day is going great for you Moe, enjoy your day. See you later. Take care:)
I posted a new episode of GFN series which I think is quite inspired by your style of writing. The original text as usual ran into 4 sheets of A4 size paper which after going thru your posts made me feel too lengthy. Earlier I had done that color coding thing for the convenience of readers who want the story in nutshell. I don’t think that worked. Any way I felt I should trim it. So his time my story is only 2 and a half pages , without any hindi words (keeping CV in mind) and devoid of drags. But seriously I feel as if I have killed the natural flow….I wait for you observation and necessary corrections
i lke that post moe, it is really a nice gesture from ur side… so, u r also getting very serious abt this blog world friends. sometimes, this virtual world makes us happy and reasonable.
sorry moe for not reading your post …
just before I winded up I looked into my mail and there I saw your post so curiosity driven I read and found this post .. I think I owe you a special thanks no? tc frly regds marivin
Moe, Mari wanted me to read her message to you about herself and I did so and agree with what you told her. By the way, kutti idlis are the mini idlis and we have special plates for it, with small depressions slightly bigger than one inch in diameter. We get in the stores and it comes complete with the vessel. We use the same to make the mini idlis and if the dough is good, one can get real soft ones. Enjoy your day Moe and see you in the morn my time:)
Hey Moe,
Thanks for the comments on my GB. Some construction work’s going on near our house. I see little children of the workers standing in the hot sun, playing, giggling. I think they are very strong. Contrary to that, well bred city moms would never allow their children to play in the sun. These city bred children have all sorts of ailments. We must learn to live in any given situation, no? Our body becomes what we make it to be, strong or weak. What to you say?
:))) I can never forget the connexion with duh! Hear the word and his pic appears in front of me. I loved Juggie, he was the best for me. Only this morn we were talking about the Sad Sack (American army) comics and laughed about it. I’m glad you enjoyed recollecting all that. Sometimes it’s nice to go down memory lane, ain’t it? Yeah, we used to say jollu ozhuguthu (flowing) or oothuthu and guess what, I suddenly remembered some similarity, Jugs and you love food:))))
Read your comments moe thanks very much
Nice to know abt. Your f-in- l . modestly I can say one thing moe and that is: I too am far away from this small vice . my hubby asks my mother often how I am able to be like that but she said that I am like that from my early age .even in fr’p moe I am just that I just let free there is a saying ‘’in love and fr’p you’ve got to let it go, if it comes back it’s yours but if it doesn’t it was never yours’’’ .so too with me .. I want every one to be happy and will quietly walk out if it ‘s going to enhance another person’s happiness . and I can never dream of spoiling another ‘s relationship . first thing I won’t even know moe .. that people could be devious that’s is my problem says my husband ..but i think that Goodnesswill pay no?
have i digressed moe ? or have i bored just wrote what went on inmy head that’s all:-)
yes, i had a great weekend. houseful of realtives :))) … i enjoyed, whole heartedly … what abt u Moe? today also i had some guest and just now they left … busy busy busy
Hi moe, hmm… nice to know abt ur maths knowledge… now, i accept that u r smart in maths.. love and hate in realtionships … i told u na, i hate kanitham… ithu than karanam :))))) ….. no kanakku, no prachchanai :D….just kidding ya .. take care.
Hi Moe, it’s good to know that all of you had a wonderful time. read about the park and lake in Mari’s and remembered one message of yours in Hope’s about the geese and not being able to swim. I’m not sure if i remember correctly, I guess it was to that extent. That must be sick with the geese as their beauty is marred by their cackle. We had some at home a long long time back when my nephew took a fancy for them and he had to give up on them as no one could sleep and they messed up the whole place. I suddenly remembered. Dinner is uppma and tomato chutney. I’ll mail the recipe today. Enjoy your day. Take care:)
Hiiiiiiiii moe .good morning to you !so you did have a nice time in your outing:-):-) thanks moe for your encouraging words !!!!
The day is pretty hot but evenings are a bit cool
If it pours then it will be great !!may be this is asking too much I guess in the peak of summer .. let’s hope the S. W. monsoons don’t fail us…in the 1st week of June .depends on when kerala gets the rains is it not ? my geography is a little poor . it’s ok becos it’s moe and cv only ?I don’t mind making mistakes cos ‘you two really .knowledgeable people could correct me no?:-)
.btw . I’m going to make kutti idlis with sambhar and white chutney and green chutney . so work up my sleeve till later .‘I leave you to answer mails .bye marivin
Dear Moe, Good Morning!:) Hope you had a good night’s sleep after your busy and enjoyable Sunday and woke up to a lovely day. My day has been good so far but today is one hot day. i have been in great spirits since I heard from Mari about her special prayers. We do have a beautiful friend, don’t we Moe.:) She had some special food too and I’m sure she’ll be telling you about it.
We shared Biryani recipes yesterday and one of our ilander friends Rajesh found it so funny, saying it’s definitely not a guest book but recipe section:))))Have a wonderful day and will come by later:)
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii moe good nite to you and gm to me .:-)
..nice to hear he compliments thanks friend
ah yes ! your weekend .. is it nt? so a very happy weekend to you
have a nice time !! take care frly regds marivin
my post this evening .ok bye
Hi Moe, not at all. It’s not possible to go checking on everyone’s blogs whether they have a post, right. We can get to see the alerts and you are not able to access your mail account and it is perfectly understandable. Thanks for your knowlegeable comments. I was in two minds as it is a very sensitive issue but the women I know who have endured pain but have come out of it successfully inspired me to write about them. You think it’s okay? I too noticed ‘the third rock from the sun’. I’d like to know what it means. Okay Moe, time to go to bed. You will be leaving early today, must have headed home by now. Enjoy the rest of your day. Take care:)
moe you are busy?here’s me taking off g.n to meand g.af.to you tho’ no heavy work yet becos of this cold little work seems to be eeked out as tho’ for long time ..
since i did’nt hear from you am come to say bye tcn !!
nice post is cv’s did you read and you kn. something mine runs on similiar lines …..too frly regds marivin
Dear Moe, You’re more than welcome and I wish it was possible:-) I had put up a post this afternoon. Let’s see what your views are after you read it. Take care
Oh, and Moe, I am snuggled up to that woodstove for the morning reading Shantaram. Just started it a few days ago. It is in pre production stage for release in the theatres next year. And Johnny Depp is linked to it
Hi Moe, glad it’s getting warmer for you. Hope must be chilled to the bone. Hope she gets some sun.
Orange juice will be great if I weren’t allergic to it. Bronchitis. It’s cooled down considerably now and I’m enjoying the weather. Isn’t it funny how both our colds have disappeared. Wonder what Mari’s remedy was.
Lunch was sambhar with some baked mushrooms. Dinner is Chole(more of a gravy form) with Bhatura for others and bread for me.
Mari is so happy with the response she got for her post and i am thrilled for her. Enjoy your day and will drop by later.:)
Hi Moe! Good morning to you and thanks for making me smile. Yes , trip was nice yesterday. But today is cold cold and rainy. I have had to start the woodstove to keep warm!!! Let Chitra read that! I woke up to 42F (5.6 C) and it is mid May!!! So I hope you send the sun soon.
Yes, we get quite a few white egrets and they are pretty against the green. And come July and Augst the marsh turns purple with loose strife. It is so beautiful but is a problem because it is choking out the wetlands. There is actually a river running thru the marsh which is being choked.
Won’t be doing those lake swims until July, that is when it will be warm enough. And you are right, New England is beautiful in the Fall but winters stink. So you are welcome here anytime…
sure moe shall take your advice i’m drinkin gallons of water more of lime juice ..:-)
i was :_))))))))))))))) at your wanting to come however whether there are super sonic flights you must be knowing .better plll do !!tc until later
Hey Moe,
Thanks for the GB message….. I thought only Indian weathermen commit blunders….. So this problem is universal. ;-))))))
Back in Gujarat, it’s very humid….. We are drinking lots of water….. Can’t help but wait for rains….. But hten when you come back to India, won’t you find the weather difficult to bear?
By the way, Indian weathermen have forecasted that rains will come early this time…… Hope they are true at least this time.
HI moe a very good morning to you !!
My cold is better .cv is not so I think ..
Here the weather continues to be hot but cloudy tho’ stuffy .
Oh we had fish fry with pepper resam in the afternoon
Night I’m planning dosa with red chillie - chutney
You ‘ll like it …?
My post is ready but morrow I shall post it
did you see the response to my last post? i was happy moe for as you said each have something to say ..interesting .. see you later in the even ….
Frly regds marivin
Hey Congrats Moe… 5 centuries in 3 months great….!! today morning It was the 499th entry when I wrote… I wish I could have been a bit late n loved to write yours 500th GB…. doesn’t matter….
Good Morning Moe. Hope the day is lovely and you enjoyed your drive to work. It’s bearably hot here so nothing to complain about. Have a Wonderful day and take care:) i’ll drop by later:)
Dear Moe, you must be heading towards early morn in your deep sleep. i came by late though I sent you my wishes. had quite an evening with the remainder of the cold and the time consuming preparations, so saw your messages this morning. Thanks Moe. That chicken in the dishes must have done it’s share. I was telling Mari that I felt like a zombie with blocked ears etc but it cleared up quickly.
I actually have a book on Vitamin and Minerals and that’s where i saw that taking two Vit C tab of 500mg in a gap of six to eight hours clears the cold in a day and believe me it works.
I’m glad the instances have come down and my wishes for a complete recovery. Hope left a wonderful cooling message for me and I appreciate her thoughtfulness.
Yeah, it’s celebration time as Namrata and Mari said, you’ve hit 500 in quite a short time. So Mr.Popular what’s the treat for us:)))It better be good:) Congrats!. I ask for the treat and then congratulate you. hmm, that’s your friend:)Have a wonderful day
congratulations for 500 GB entries within 3 months of ventre into Iland….small but mentionable achievement…..proves how social you are ( and how antisocial I am :)….)party….paaaaaarty….paaaaaaaaaarty…..
well I hope today everything goes well within the head of my computer and I am able to complete my journey thru your iland…..
hii moe gm.am better !!! thanks dear friend for your support and timely comments . humbly i accept them .!!
i’ve got a subj .matter for my next post you’d like it let me see i told chittu abt it ..have gn rest see you in my evening .
bye tc frly reds marivin
did you knowhope read one of my previous ones and said she’d read the rest so sweet of her i think ok
i forget to tell u… my two daughters and my hubby, all love this kadva subject maths…. so, just imagine my position….. i am a parama buddhu in kanitham
abt that advice post.. u know it is really funny, if u watch everything with an open admiration… even this advising thing….. next time i am going to write, how some clever human beings thing that they are very smart and they can get away with anything.. mainly confusing others… anyway, i like ur comments straight from ur heart. thanx.
Hi Moe, too much preparation for dinner. Wrong choice but he said chicken will help with my cold etc. That must be terrible having to face the sun morn and eve. Migraines must be terrible Moe. Do you get it often? I know a couple of people who have a tough time and they need to be in a dark room till they come out of it. Hope and pray you get rid of it totally.
Agreed Moe, that kind of attitude exists in all nationalities, I used to wonder what makes them so and voiced my thoughts. Well, that’s what makes us such a colorful race, each with his/her +es and -es.:)
Mari’s post is beautiful and I enjoyed reading it. Have a lovely day and take care:)
Hi Moe,
You remembered my Garfield when you saw your neighbour’s cat? Hope you have heard that a cat has nine lives. That means you won’t forget me and my Garfield soon. ;-)))))))))
Good Morning Moe! Yes, I went to the mirror today and smiled and it was nice. Am off for a day long journey to New Hampshire again. It is sooooo coooooool here this morning, i had to put on polar fleece and
yet I read of CV’s heat. Our warm days are too few, but the summers are always beautiful here with the cool nights and campfires to huddle around after a nice swim in a lake warmed by the sun all day………ahhhh……the good things in life……..Have a fantastic day……..
moe :-)))))))))))))))) you know something??????/!!! i kind of expected you to comment on that bit in the kitchen and wondered why youdidn’t in the 1st message but reading the second i was terribly happy ..cos great minds do continue to think alike:-))) you agree:-))))thanks moe for the comments.. see you again ..marivin
Thanks. That is the river pampa near Ranni, my wife’s place. Two of the kids are mine wallowing to their hearts content. I am from Ottapalam. We met in chennai. Cheers!
Hey I am so sorry.. that GB entry regarding Nietzsche words wasnt for you… i intended to write it in some other guys GB… dunno what i was thinking when i wrote it in yours…. do excuse…
Hey I am so sorry that GB entry wasnt for you… That one where i talk of Nietzsche words. It was for one guy names thunderbolt here… dunno what i was thinking when I wrote it in your GB… do excuse…. regards.
Moe, Touch Wood (I did):-) That must have been quite a thunderstorm last evening and getting caught up in traffic can really drain a person. Glad you had a good sleep.:)
A very Good Morning to you Moe. Great that you’ve begun your day well. I dozed of for awhile as the heat, my cold and headache was getting to me. Feel better now. The vit c really helped.
Mari said she wasn’t feeling well either and I was concerned. MM noticed this, wished the two of us and hoped you were doing well. That was sweet of him.
Dinner is chicken noodles and chinese style chicken gravy. I don’t want to give a specific name to it as I’ve never come across any two places where it’s similar and i’ve come up with my own concoction.
Mari is not to be seen and I hope she is better.
Moe, I happened to read Jissy’s comment and I have my view to share. I agree Indians abroad learn to be well mannered and pick up a lot of sophistication but some, I mean a few, when they come to India, they are so ill-mannered and throw their weight around with no regard for the country they grew up in. they look down on us Indians as if we were one inferior lot.
cntd…
this small gesture of ours will definitely help Shabdi to overcome the pain and suffering upto a large extent. Getting sick, surgeries, mishaps etc have become a part and parcel of everybody’s life. But sometimes when we kow that so many people are showing there concern for our welbeing, a kind of belonging surfaces in our heart and at sudden we feel as if we are not an unwanted soul in this whole world. There are lot of people who can spare a minute for us whom we are yet to see even. And belive me ,this puts lot of effect on the quick and complete recovery too. Imagine how I must have felt yest’day when I got her sms that she’ll be discharged in a day and will be able to come back to iland to see those wishes herself.Rajesh Vora smsed me the exact count of msgs that we could generate-50 till 9 pm. isn’t it great. Just imagine, after ear surgeries she may not be allowed to use cell phone. hearing imparement was already there. but Now she’ll read our msgs and m sure she’ll be delighted
Hi Moe, late signing in today and took some more time to come to your iland as I know you would have hit the sack:))) hope you’re having a peaceful zzzzing. no snoring I hope:)))) Oh Moe, i’ve been in a teasing mode since yesterday and i did it in my comments to a post too, so don’t mind me, ok.
I took longer to sleep last night, guess it had to do with the mid morning rest. Mari and I have been enjoying, imagining the whole works and I see you have put an open offer for pick up too. Thanks.:)Had a sumptous breakfast of kadalai kuzhambu with idlis and chutney. I prefer it with idlis more than puttu. The weather is much better today, a pleasant day in every way. See you later. Take care:)
hi dear friend moe , gooood morning to me gn to you .sure you can bring as many for the ordinary day!:-) my hands are ready to welcome you all !! no more of her childish ancedotes .. must rack my brains ..let me see. :-)have good rest tc see you in theevening…. mine ..bye tc frly regds marivin
Hi there friend,
I landed on your iLand, so i thaought i would give you a holler…
You have some great blogs here…
Take care…’keep fighting the good fight’…
Thunder.
Ok, now it’s confirmed. I prefer to help Mari with the works provided I get a seat by the dahlings including yours. Enjoy the rest of your day Moe. Good nite to me and good evening to you…:)
Hi Moe, the list of invite requests for Mari is increasing. I’ve reserved my seat beside sweetie pie. I suggest you make your choice too……And if you’re bringing in your daughter I’d like to have the two of them by my side. Ok? I am sure it is. Quite sleepy Moe. Enjoy your lunch, i bet you will :)))))
Hey Moe,
So, my guess about you being a Mallu was right. I am a Mallu too, born, brought up and staying in Baroda. I am more Gujju than Mallu. I am a bit apprehensive about asking someone their whereabout. Blog is a place where people may not wish to reveal their identity. I can’t force anyone to reveal it, can I?
Hi moe…..thanks for making me feel great moe oh i am a simpleton .. anyway you two friends do encourage me so much i am indebted to you
yes I am planning to make adai you know … this ismade from fresh dough . rice soaked along with Bengal gram.,green gram ,toori dhal and then grinded with coconut gratings and red chillies adding asfoetida .it should be fresh dough then in oil pepper , jeera, ginger-a small piece , garlic -three pods, coriander ,and curry leaves must be seasoned and mix well in the dough and the adai is ready made like thick dosais oil should be generously poured I know it adds to cholesterol but you don’t get to eat lots say two at the most three with green chilies in coconut chutney ..real tastyy it will be .. so am in the process of that .. from the likes of it I won’t come back to say good day to you so here’s wishing you a good day and see you in my morning ,, what’s for lunch? .. I’ll come to read it late night after the work’s over bye cv marivin
Oh boy, add Mari’s menu and you’re sure heading for a sixer. I’m imagining you with all that food in front of you Moe. You got me laughing loudly. But you know what. I love food too so we’ve struck a balance. :))) i had to share this with you…..and that was cute Mari’s kiddo writing blogs on Mari, won’t we enjoy it too.
moe you are first on my invitee list:-))) as is chitra …… yes the same menu add ifyou want to no problem.. i’ve such a passion for cooking abd as i told cv especially in my relations and fr’s i’ve a long list who sincerely praise me for my cooking ..it helps me going on and on.. .nothing wrong in that no friend?!
Yes Moe, agree we feel helpless and we believe prayers can help.
I read Mari’s post too and her daughter is delightful. I simply enjoyed it. haha, all that talk of food got your digestive juices flowing…..but you can always step out and reach for one when you feel like it. take care:)
moe:-) im feeeling so bad now too much of praises i am floating on clouds as it were thanks dear friend .. nostalgically i recall my papa .. .. i’m at the moment going to shakeoff my sleepiness by having a strong chaya . what do you say?!!:-)))))) you’d agreei’m sure . til now i was doing what cv asked but failed to reach lejmo .. told her too.
Thanks for your comment.. Having read your comment on wine, I remember the guys (not the pro-tasters though!) sniffing the cork/bottle!
Will note down the name of white for future use
Moe, wanted to tell you to visit the following iland and leave your wishes for Leonard who has a post ‘Prayer’ saying his mother has been diagnosed with leukemia. He is on rediff home page. We are not connected as friends. Remember, one day, I told you I went blog reading. His was one of the blogs I enjoyed and left a message too. Thought it will really help his mom with all our prayers.
hi my friend moe, gmmmmmmmmmmmmm to you . slept like for three hours and still feeing sleepy my aunty rang up and i woke otherwise i don’t know when .. as you said it’s not the same all the days .. heavenly bliss on earth is sleep whatdo you ay ..mst write about it!! digressing am i not ? don’t get bored .. just goingto post telll me you and cv like it:-)
Hmm now the talk of these burgers is getting to me. I particularly like one in Bangkok, the chilly chicken burger in Chester’s Grill. They are kind of small but a real treat. Two of them is a must for a half fill at least.
No Moe, except for sundays, and lunch we never plan earlier. Lunch because we buy vegetables once in three to four days. Tonight the menu is Suji uppma with some carrots, beans and peas in it with coriander chutney. There they call it cream of wheat if I remember right. Enjoy your day
HI Moe
Like spongebob, I am begining to like you too. You are a really warm person who can make anyone feel good with nice friendly words. Thank you oh so much Moe. Next time I feel don I will come and leave a gb entry for you and you can get back to me with your nice uplifting words. What se?
A very Good Morning to you Moe. Hope you had a good sleep dear friend and woke up to a lovely dawn. My day has been quite good. Rested a while this morn as I was feeling a bit tired. It’s been very hot here yesterday and today. I’m glad it’s considerably cool for Mari nowadays.
So what’s brewing along with your hot cuppa coffee this morn? Toast? I sent it out finally today to Mari and you. Have a wonderful day Moe. will come by later. Take care:)
Hi Moe, thanks for the cheery wishes. Suddenly a question popped up in my mind. Do they have parlours for men too, where they go in for facials, manicure, pedicure and the likes there. And do a lot of men go in for such stuff? I remember it was a kind of craze here and in Chennai a decade or more back. Curious.:)
Talk about food mixing, i do a lot of it too. A baked dish of Broccoli and cheddar cheese with lots of green chillies and some celery in it goes so well with chapathis and dosas.
You must have gone into sleep mode by now. The thought of Andhra food got me yearning for some. Love some of the Andhra dishes with that special gongura and avakka picles to go with it. I like the food in Amravathy, Chennai. Hmmm, enjoy the feast tomorrow. Hope you have a good sleep Moe and wishing you a wonderful Sunday. Take care:)
moe i’ve posted it has come on thesecond page new post but not recorde in y list of posts? mnow why would that be ? funny no? i’ve posted it thrice ..so funny it’s going to be if postsare tobe repeated ..

Thanxs for the comments friend.. liked ur post where u shared abt. ur hostel life… thanxs for that also.. keep posting … take care & have a nice day…. bye
Hi Moe, visiting after reading all the messages from you and Mari. Woke up early but it isn’t so cool a morning. Done with b’fast -semiya uppma and tomato chutney. Glad you had a nice time at your friend’s place and you must be off to sleep now. The forward was meant for today Moe. Hope you have a good sleep and have a good start for a great weekend.
BTW, it is not bitter gourd, much longer and bigger. I am sure you will know once you see it. Take care:)
hi moe , ah yes i forgot since it’s your week end
may be you’d beaway
so here’s wishing youa hapy week end~!:-)))
tc. i am posting a post slightly heavy but i want comments from you three . . suddenly i remembered the three musketeers .. fable you know:-) ..byemarivin.
how come not hit the sack?wrote a long message to hope now it willlbe cv . ok shall calit a day for you and btw how do you grasp the kurmasmell so far away ..ireally wonder :_) moe ..it’s chappatis and kurma .. byemarivin
Moe, wishing you good nite, though a bit late and hope you came up with a good story that let her sleep like a baby. I liked your dinner combo as i love dal and okra with chapathis and those stuffed, lightly fried green chillies to bite into and a mixed mango -lime pickle. Reminds me of a small north indian restaurant here that serves these delicacies with a glass of frothy butter milk topped with jeera powder. Simply yum. I went to sleep a little late but still fresh after a good sleep. B’fast here is idlis with the same accompaniments as Mari’s. Hope you’re having a good sleep…Take care:)
Hey Moe! Off to bed shortly and I was just enjoying the springtime sound in New England. We live on a marsh and there are millions of these tiny frogs we call “Peepers” And at night they peep peep peep all night long. At it’s loudest it is hard to hear one another, well almost. But it will lull me off to sleep for sure. Every year it is the peepers and the red winged blackbirds we look for for tell tale signs of spring. I used to chart it to the day and boy, did they run a propmt schedule. Well I am off soon for my nightly reading, Pushkar sent me his Popcorn series so I don’t miss out on them….Have a good sleep and write something soon.
Hi Moe! Just finished a long day at work and with Husband out of town tonight I don’t aim on cooking. So it will be Pizza for the kids and Chicken Kebab on Greek Salad for me. Delivered. Going to be out all day tomorrow too. It was sunny here today so I guess we will be getting those clouds tomorrow or for sure on friday as it is supposed to rain then. You can give me the weather forecast a day or two in advance just by walking outside I am on my feet all day taking care of cancer patients so it feels good to finally sit with my feet up. I am so tired, that kind of tired that makes you sleep real well and with the cool nights and the windows open it will be nice. Have a nice , peaceful evening!
Thanks Moe. I still need to write so your kind heartedness is where I turn. Going to work today and that will keep my mind and hands busy. I really love my work. More on that later. Wish I had a desire for eggs this morning because the local farm gave us some eggs yesterday as my son was doing work there. I saw an article on the life of an egg making its’ way to the market in America, and the cartons are coded, and believe me , there is no such thing as a fresh egg unless you go to the farm. Keep that in mind. Have a good, no have a GREAT DAY! I am sure you will eat well too !
A very good morning to you Moe. Hope you had a great start to your day. The day has been good and I seemed to have spent more time at the comp today than necessary. it’s horrible outside because so many tall buildings are coming up, one on the left, one on the right and work has started in a plot in front too.The noise and cement dust is on the rise. by the end of the day theres a film on the leaves of the plants and the flooring. Unable to keep the windows open too. Wishing you a wonderful day. Take care:)
Good Morning Moe! Woke up well rested today and feeling well. Beautiful spring day again……Azaleas and Magnolias and cherry blossoms all in bloom. Nice to see our Japanese Maple survived the winter and is budding nice green leaves too. Songbirds returning in flocks. So yes, tis a good day! Have a nice one.
Hi Moe, you’re still up. Hope you enjoyed your shopping:) It’s quite cool here in the morns but noon heat is killing. But I’d say it’s better compared to Chennai weather. A gooood night to you and thanks for your wishes:)
hi moe my dear friend . i am just quitting sitting at te net in mornings and a.n .Becos of the heat..
yesterday what with miniidlis iwas off at 9.00 so didn’t say bye to you too?
got up early 3.30 .to help my cousin with her paper .
then sat to answer and read quiet mornings ..so pleasant .:-)..
i ‘m sure you’d be in snooze.. take care ..
see you in my evening:_) bye frly regds marivin:-)
Hey Moe! Hope you don’t mind me stopping by to wish you a good night. Chicken on the grill tonight and corn on the cob which I am sure was brought in from the deep south. We do not harvest our corn here until august!!!!! We have a short 8 weeks of summer. BTW I grew up near enough to DC, humid down there. Used to spend much time on the Chesapeake Bay. Do you like Blue Crabs? With Old Bay seasoning they are great! Love them! Too bad they are all brought in from Louisiana these days! Sleep well. Bye….
hi good morning to me ..goodnite to you .. thanks for your nice comments ..you know you do havea way of assuring bloggers especiallythe ones who are trying to write andexpressthem selves for eg. takeme ..cv and you ..now ireadyour comment on MM’Spost comments ..tremendously ..encouraging and reveals your goodness at heart :-)so thanks to you and cv for being great human beings first and then great bloggers!!!!!!bye tc frly regds marivin
Moe, Good Afternoon Now! Sunny here. MMMMM uttapam I have gotten at a nearby restaurant, most of the rest. here have mostly Northern Indian Cuisine so hard to find. Have a nice lunch? I have opened up my GB for comments…….YIKES!!!!!! Going for that run I have been proscratinating on. Have a good day.
Moe….. Good Morning FRIEND!!!!! Almost afternoon here. I am well and sent you mail but I don’t know if you checked it. Please do read Misty’s latest post and you will understand. I am just taking LOA to stay out of everyone else’s Tangled Web of problems. All I want to do is talk of food and flowers Live a simple life like the simple gal I am. I want no trouble so I am stepping out. Will plant my flowers this afternoon, go for a good long hard run, and enjoy the sunset tonight with a glass of fine wine. And I will SMILE
Hi Moe, I am just coming from there, it was a wonderful post and i enjoyed your comment too. So you’d like me to take a vacation, thanks for being so thoughtful.:) Now, it’s become a habit to think of both of you when we’re having food and my hubs is amused when I tell him of our food exchanges.
I think Mari really needs a good vacation to beat the heat. hubs told me too of the tough time he had there. I see mari spinning off some of my own favorites here though I don’t know what Kuutan chorru is. Take care Moe:)
Hi Moe, you must have skipped your way into dreamland by now. Nice morning after a good sleep and hmm thanks for eating our share too, no wonder it weighed a bit more and anyway it must have been a load of those goody veggies, so no harm.:)
I am glad you read Mari’s post, good that she was determined to overcome it to a large extent. As to my comment, I felt she deserved it and thanks.:)
BTW, i loved what Mari has said about our friendship, nutritious and healthy, how appropriate, coming to think of it.
Over to Mari now and shall drop by later in the day. Wishing you a good night’s sleep. Take care:)
Hi Moe, yes, it is indeed called the `kettukuthira’! and then the `kaala’! i think the `kaala’ calls for more strength - and `kallu’ to go with it! i am so gald, sitting so far away in Dulles, you could relate to the `makkiri piduthakkaran’ with the petromax and the gunny sack
Harley girl….NEVER! Anyway, My hubby spent quite a few of his growing up years in Bethesda. So may be he would know where to get that paella. Although i know he mentions a place in Baltimore called Tio Pepes.
Well you are winding down from your wiiiiiiindy day! We bought more flowers today but they warned us…..noooo…..don’t plant, there will be a frost tonight! GOD!
Waiting for another humourous story of your, and i will flip thru my Rare Words (hahaha) book tomorrow.
Have a quiet evening and good start to the new work week. smile
oh moe a very good mornig.to me and a GN to you ..yes i was really helples then .. but cameout of it a bit ..this blind dashing into people i still do sometimes my bro ’s used to call him are you a blind duck ..and furious i’d become ..one int. thing was i was sharing about you missing your steps and dashinto glas doors and immediately my guestsbegan recalling my tantrum of my childhood and oh it was a hilarious time forallof us..:-)
takecare have a good rest bye frly regds marivin..i do have one hing to share with you and chitra that in your morning ok:-)
Hey hey hey…..THUNDERBIRD! Now that is a real flash back in time. Good God! Wouldn\’t touch the stuff now. Windy here too and No I did not run because of it. So you have a cycle!!!! Now that is cool. Almost got my license years ago but that is a long story to share later. Tis the season. We were going to do a paella on the grill tonight but time got behind us so it was pasta and pesto with grilled seafood instead. Have a good night and check back tomorrow, i am working hard on my next post entitled The Snake Charmer.

ah do read my post to morrow .got to hear of chitra’s convent days .:-)
Hi Moe, we were wondering whether you’d come on line and I was sure you would. Am glad you did. Mari has a wonderful post and she was so sweet to add my name up there in the source of inspiration. I am sure she’d be happy to hear from you as she was missing us and I too did.
I really would like to vote for a pizza along with your kiddos, hehe, now, you will think I’m impossible.:) Have a wonderful day Moe and most importantly think of us when you have a go at those juicy bbq. I for one will miss it big time. Thanks for your wishes and take care:)
Hi Moe, wishing you a very good morning and hope you woke up to a lovely day. The weather’s been pretty good here but didn’t feel like being out for long.
You must be through with your dosa session. Thanks for your wonderful comments Moe and as you said, it’s only with that bit of mischief one can enjoy school days more. I managed to be so in college too.
So what time do you plan on getting your bbq? noon or evening? Have a great day Moe and will drop in later. Take care and warm rgds:)
hi moe am back .since guests have left earlier than expected ..

Good Morning! Maybe we are living parallel lives….. I was enjoying that same glass of fine wine myself last night. However, the coffee is waking me up this am. Get the Barbecue Up and running? We use our outdoor grill year round so it never gets a break. It’s a poor simulation of a tandoor but it works for me. It is a beautiful day here so yardwork it will be. Hope you’re having a restful weekend friend…
hi
came to thank u for puuting my thoughts so wel in poetic words. U sais it !!!! I read the GB comments too..bad manners?? well…i am ears and eyes here. Loved your interaction. You seem to be a warm person
Hi Moe, so you’re back after dinner and that was quite a contrast, biriyani to lemon rice. But there are days when I suddenly feel like eating lemon rice and then it seems like heavenly food.:) Food for long travel, I prefer Tamarind rice. Thanks Moe for the marinade ingredients. That really sounds yummy. I will try this out as I go for red chillies for the bbq.
I had put up a post last evening Moe. Do read it when you find time.
I think it’s good for Mari to mention that you inspired her post Moe, as though the writing is hers, the idea came from what you had shared with her, right. Thanks for the compliments to my writing, coming from you, I am truly honored. I am sure that in itself be a compliment to you and your own skills Have a good sleep and take care:)
Hello Moe, you must be at your friend’s for dinner, hope you are having a good time. Woke up quite early to see hubby off.
I love barbeques, still remember the chicken wing bbqs I had at a Holiday inn, some place. Do you use your own marinade or the bbq sauces that one gets there? We usually come up with our own marinade and my sis gave me a delicious simple recipe for corn- lime juice, chilli powder, salt mixed in a little butter. Microwave the cobs to soften the corn, smear the paste and grill.
I’d like to know how you do it.
Mari seems to have been awake till midnight, hope she had a good sleep as she said she’s busy with her guests today.
Have a good peaceful sleep Moe and hope to see you waking up to a bright Sunday. take care:)

Good Morning Moe, woke up to a pleasant weather and it’s been a nice day generally. My husband’s at home today and we were spending time discussing a few issues as he is leaving out of town tomorrow morning. Good you took longer to wake up as you were up longer than usual.
Having shrimp curry with some jeera rice as he won’t be home for non-veg tomorrow.
I posted some messages this morning Moe and I did go over around noon time when I came online but thought she may not be online and didn’t message. I’ll go try and let you know.
Regarding movies, there’s one ‘Pachaikizhi Muthucharam’ which you may like. I liked it. You have a great week-end and enjoy your day and your dinner at your friend’s place and that’s so nice of you to tell us you’ll think of us at dinner time.:) Take care
Good Morning! I am up with the first rays of the sun today. Yes, we did our family outing meal too, we had Thai…..yum……., but i usually prefer a diet of dhal, palak paneer, chana masala, naan and raita.
Will be out all day today being less productive. Have a great weekend and don’t worry about those peonies, they are pretty easy to grow and have beautiful large blooms. I am planting more this spring. Mostly pink.
Don’t forget to put wire rings around them to keep them upright because the blooms are quite heavy and will make them droop. YOu’ll seeewhat I mean if you don’t already know. Smiling today! You too!
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii moe, sorry yeah things turned upside down what with powercut andthen repairs misfired and finally when things were put right guests just an hour ago left .i was keen on getting to you and chitra esp. her cos i did n’t hear from her on my post you see…so i’llgo to themail read hers but before that thot tell yuou have anice rest sleep likelast nite :-)takecare youmust be leaving ..bye frly regds mari vin
Thanks Moe, a late dinner for us tonite and enjoy your lunch and the rest of your day. I think you’ll get to see Mari first as she usually gets on the net early and I do much later.. Take care:)
I can still picture the scene - U on the ground with the guy.
Moe, read the above sentence with no connection to your post. It got me into fits of laughter. Imagine the scene when someone who hasn’t read your post, reads the line……:)))) Don’t worry, I just wanted to enjoy the lighter side of it with you. Take care
I agree with you Moe, she seems to have packed her bags.:)
I’ve been to Kodai, it’s a beautiful place, some breath taking spots and comparatively less inhabited than Ooty but what I don’t like is the winding drive up, it’s quite a distance, I think it will take about 21/2 hrs from the foot-hills.
Last year around September (I think), made for very spectacular sight, I believe, with the Kurinji flowers in blossom and this happens once in 12 years. I only saw the pictures in the newspapers. Have you been to Munnar, Moe?
Having chicken gravy with rotis after a long time today. So do you have breakfast too or just lunch and dinner. I was curious because you leave home so early.
Hi Moe, enjoying lovely weather here, it’s cooled down a lot, breezy and had a good shower. Mari is not to be seen, I guess she must be busy as I haven’t heard from her. Hope your day is going good and take care:)
Hi Moe, hope you had a good night’s sleep as it’s 1.30pm and must be 4.30am for you, which means you must be awake by now. A very Good Morning to you!
Thanks for your wonderful wishes.
I took some time coming to your iland today though I thought about you much earlier. A good start to the day and breezing through it. Oh, I loved what Mari shared with us and I took some time writing a long mail to her.
I am glad I have found wonderful people like you and Mari on iland. Been doing some introspection and took some time with that. We had the signs of heavy rains, yesterday evening but all we got was a drizzle which had intensified the heat. But it’s not that hot today.
Have a great day Moe and will drop in when you’re online. Take care:-)
Yessssss, I smiled today, lots. But I did have that teary moment over my lost friend. Thanks for your kind words. I came running back to delete that post but you had already commented. So I left it. Nighty Night!
had gn’s rest thankyou moe do you have some time or shall i send it this evening ..? a writeup iwrote i want to send it to cv and you ..inspired by what chitra said .. think you are free? but after reading delete if you wish ..
One factor I like US for, the variety of food one can get there, though fast food is a health deteriorative but I believe there’s no harm in indulging once in a way and the flexibility is you can get the best in some places through steamed veggies and the likes. But one thing i found is no on uses oil to the extent our Indian restaurants do. I don’t know if I am wrong….and do correct me if i am.. Good night to me and A Great evening to you…:)
Thanks Moe, dreaming of food? :)) no thanks, but coming to think of it, it is the safest and for you, as far as it is not rfd.beans -Oh Moe, that’s got me laughing a lot. No, I’ll never wish you that my friend but the thought tickled me. If I’m awake longer I may still catch up so I better leave it open than calling it a day…enjoy your day:)
I came to read Mari’s message and yes, she’s talking about the St.Gobain glass advt. Generally this has left all of us laughing and enjoying it. Good for that.:-) i escaped because my hand came in touch with the glass first and that was quite a hit. We don’t tend to notice when we’re fast and that explains the greater impact. take care.:)
my God! moe !! after a short coffee break and a small tet e tete with a neighbour friend .. i came over to read your mes’ and i’ve been laughing out loudly moe for some good five minutes now .:-)))).
Your hilarious episiode is like the advertisement that comes in for some glass gobian or something i think chitra will able to say theright name in that advert. something of your kind happens .. and again i can’t help telling you .. we are great minds moe cos i am writing a narticle which you will see a parady ofwhat you said i keeping falling and making a fool of myself:-)))
so you like masala dosais good with chutney -coconut and sambhar ….
yummy no?oh i did.nt take it to heart fineall is wonderful in good fr’ship’s ..i leave you toread and comment on other posts too and ofcourse your work .. takecare bye frly regds marivin
Thank you so much for considering us good friends Moe and I wish to tell you and Mari the same. And thank you so much for being such a wonderful friend.:-)
Moe, trying to walk through glass has happened to me too, haha, and I felt so dumb that i didn’t have the guts to see if anyone around noticed me. So my friend I’m sure there are lots of them like us having their turns..:)).
Talking of steps, reminded me of an incident when I was 7 or 8. I used to love sliding down the hand rail of the stairs and whenever my mom caught me, she used to warn me and I never paid heed.
One evening I took the rail down again as one of our relatives had come and at about five feet from ground level, I missed by balance and fell over backwards and my head neatly hit the sewing machine and I fainted. Hearing the thud, all of them rushed to the spot and when I came around I was in my bed. No scan done but the doc said I was ok and in spite of my temptation to do it again, I never really did. Felt like sharing it with you.
Moe, welcome to the city of best masala dosas. This is where I am put up. The quality is gone now, they have changed it and some days if we are lucky we can still get good quality. I am surprised you’ve been here as well.:)
A very Good morning Moe, I was thinking I must message you first today, by then got occupied with work. Oh, that was sad but you didn’t have any injury, thank God for that. I felt like wishing you with a little more than just the usual and I feel bad now. yeah, it’s really funny as I don’t get awful dreams but i just put it behind me. My day has been pretty good Moe and i hope you have a wonderful day. Mentioning about the refried beans, now, I’d like to have a go at it with some enchiladas. i’ve been quite successful, convincing some people to like what they dislike, may be it will happen in your case as well,hehe. Our dear Mari is just her humble self and she doesn’t realize how many things we can learn from her, don’t you think? Take care and enjoy your day.
yehMoe what happened you missed a step orsomething ?you are fine no? take care ..
as regards the sounds you hear quite frigtening .. … little sounds do keep me awake … i guess fears as cv said are very many ..must not give in to it
same time we are sending messages
really very hot and stuffy the day was ..
but now sea breeze has set in ..
regd heat i don’t know if you’ve noticed on recent post in the iland orissa is experiencing 43deg.. some people have died it says … in some parts it has touched 50 deg. cel . my gosh it must be terrible is it not !!
night supper today usually tiffen . nice masala dosais moe ..you like them?you and cv seem to talk about east west dishes and she is really very good in cooking them too .. and more so both of ypu know many things .. yeh interesting for me to ead both yourdiscussions but i am sa simpleton moe .. know nothing beyond my boundaries ..
oh i feel quite happy to be so ..don;’tthink that iam saying any thing offensive ..now do you?no?shall continue after i hear from you
Hello Moe, the problem is choosing the speciality. You ask me and my brain gets flooded,hehe. just kidding. I’ve spent a long time researching on one dish and that is Biryani and i am more than satisfied with the end results. And the other is my Thai Kao Pad Kai with basil. (finely diced chicken with basil and tossed with steamed rice). A couple in the dessert section- Chocolate Souffle and Date and Walnut Cake but what I’ve managed to perfect is the softest Idlis, to be very honest I’ve never eaten softer ones anywhere else.
I’d like to know what your speciality is and I believe some guys can turn out delicious dishes.
I can relate to that when one spends so much time within four walls and time goes by that even the weather goes by. it’s extremely hot here and that the pipe water noon time is almost boiling hot. Had a few good showers three weeks back. Take care Moe. I am yet to discuss Mari’s talents in the cuisine section.
ouch..oh oh .. now what a graceful explanation to ”’good commenting” here you go again:-)..yeah i agree with you squarely .we do feel good from the comments .. it’s help us look at us more positively ..
catch the aroma .. quite humbly I can say say I am a good cook ..briyani yes my speciality tho’ my husband says you shld never say its for others to say shall send it across…
moe i’m drinking pots of water exaggeration tho’ so thirsty it is now act. lemon juices home made i’m gulpig every now and then … so unbearable is the heat already ..imagine the days to come have a nice day moe thanks friend for all the encouraging remarks that have lightened my day .
bye tc frly regds marivin..
Oooh, more compliments as I can see. Good. I wasn’t very surprised with your level-headed acknowledgment, as that makes you the person you are.:-)
I’m glad you’re enjoying the weather. No cooking bashes my side, Mari did, with her Sunday biryani. Read she’s a good cook too.
Take care Moe and I’ll catch up sometime later.:)
hiiiii moe my day sailed by somewhat ..ah by the way I put it down to the heat ..
youare right mornings nice and sea breeze sets in and around three and then it’s cool …
As CV says sometimes ido read your comments in gb can’t help looking and i do enjoy the way you mes’s are tinged with matter and the manner you put it more nicer ..i enjoy reading them
thanks moe for saying that you have both opt. and pes. mixed in you
tho’ you sound so sure of your self which made me think so ..hope your day goes well take care bye frly regds marivin
Thanks Moe. An unusually late night Sunday that left me feeling a bit groggy but perked up in no time:). Hope you’re having a peaceful sleep as i write now and wanted to tell you something. I’m not sure whether I mentioned this before but I enjoy reading your comments to others post too. You share so much and write such thoughtful and erudite messages. Great! So hope your waking up to a new morn makes it extra special with what I have for you.Take care and have a Great day!

Hi Moe, that must have been a wonderful get together extending into the wee hours of the morning and haha, sir is still awake. A quiet Sunday, my husband had to be up early for some work after a late night attending to guests and his cricket match and went to sleep after breakfast and I spent my spare time blog reading today. Came across some interesting posts and have been reading, commenting and reading. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday as well. Take care.
thank you moe …nostalgisc isnt it ? only thing we are in the next stage going to see the same in our kids …here my sunday is so …so ….evening service because watching the world cup final …slept around three…nice int. match.. by the way you like cricket i assumed you did .. have a nice sunday take care frly regds marivin .

Read one of your GB messages to someone and I too hate racism. I actually love cultural diversity and embrace anyone who is a decent human being. I try to teach my children never to be critical about someone regarding something they have no control over, ie. race, retardation, debilitating injuries or birth defects. These are all still very REAL people. It is the jerks out there that need to be ignored, but those are the lower ones.
Good Morning Moe! i didn’t receive any alert for your guest book entry and happened to see it only now. Thank you so much for your concern Moe and it’s been a great day. spent the whole afternoon joking and laughing with two of my sisters. Wish you a great day!
Thanks for sharing so much on the Willow, which I happen to love too. I love trees and the willow is one of my favourites. Yes, Moe, I know it’s called the Weeping Willow and I picked up the whispering willow, which was the name of a house in Kodaikanal, decades back and I loved the sound of it. I specially love to see it by a water body that completes the picture for me. One gets really attached to plants and it must have caused some sadness, when you moved. Good that you get to see her growing and enjoying the beauty to this day.
It’s very strange Moe, but I noticed that from afternoon i have not received any alerts from rediff and I wonder why. Take care and enjoy your day:)
and will you believe my daughter’s story was the longest all in broken English sister read it to her class and all had funadsurely they had to change that workroom afterwards .. so she broke the news that two or three staff were up there working :-).
Was someone in there probably some baggy woman .poor me !!.be ‘cos the hm sister would call us up you see. Actually she saw the humour side of the situation so rounded up them all and told them to write a story on ghosts or baggy woman etc ..
… now my brat had a well -depth curiosity so had crept up in the mornings and found door closed but could hear foot steps and incidentally the helper a girl had worn anklets so sound of bells was also heard . finished she told the little ones very timid ones they
Yes moe you said any more yarns ?here’s one more I remember my daughter when she joined a new school her class was on the second floor, leading to the top was a room which was used by the staff for preparing question papers cyclo-styling them and bundles used to be kept there .away from the students eye.. a knd of prohibited area you see
my day has been one of resting .. the heat has begun to take its toll . I wonder how terrible summer is going to be .ah by the way ….have nice day ..take care frly regds marivin
Hi moe , thanks for having missed me …and I did have a nice time .reading your posts makes me laugh even now ….especially the one about how you entered the lady’s r.r. u no sometimes we do this especially in theatres or in waiting rooms at stationsdon’t we .. anyway we feel quite bad aftrwards ….
I say my interesting words are like little pieces of candy to you….therefore I shall have to feed them to you slowly so you can savor each one…. I am bust the next couple of days but will manage to put one up this weekend…Have a good one….
Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the poem. You must be in sleep mode with happy dreams as i write this message. My day is going great Moe, thanks to your good wishes and here’s wishing you a wonderful night and day:)
hulooooooo moe .. good morning or shall i say good night ?never mindgood to hear and read all those lovely messages and thanks a ton for those long comments .. i felt tremendously moved by your views .thanks also for telling me you’ve worked in newspaper .. so my guess that you write so well is correct … for you see iam a poor in judgements .nice also about how you forget what you should get .. consider one in your group .. be’cos iam such an absent minded person you can’t imagine how much .. i guess you might not be that bad as i am no?so you can take heart ..ok i say bye for now take care friend , frly regds marvin
thanks moe that was truly a heart warming comment.. feeding the fodder for the scum of rediffiland was not my initial idea.. but i believe that i have a right to my dignity and I stood up for it.. I never wanted any personal attacks but i did recieve them from the four that I had mentioned in my post.. I have just returned their favor.. Now I am i peace and I can move on..
Thanks again for leaving such a wonderful supportive comment
thanx moe…..i have a great liking for sharath babu…great actor from andhra….brilliant voice….body movts…restrained acting….never thot that NITHAM NITHAM was such a well-remembered number…goes to prove his reach….u can share songs that have touched with u with comments..will be glad to read them….thanx fro dropping in…
Really glad you could relate to my post. I am the product of a pushy parent, and it only left me bitter and angry at the world. We are not even allowed to think that: wait a minute! this is my life!!!!!! Thanks.
hi moe good morning ! nice to have heard from you ..
Especially your shopping spree was a fabulous account !
You should take your wife with you.
now that would save the trouble of
purchasing what should be is it not?
By the way nice narration .
I am looking at the stylistic point of your account .
You’d make good novelist I tell you
I gather you’ve forgotten
here’s the post I said I would
but won’t be there to answer.
You recall now?!. O.k. so wishing you nice days !
Take care .keep posting new ones

dear DULLES—welcome to the land of milk and honey-u will never have a DULL moment–nagercoil has a very predominant xian population and the phrase milk and honey is an allusion to the biblical canaan
moe , actually i had been waiting to hear from you .. thanks you enjoyed my daug. yarns .. highly imaginative she is … .. now ..have a nice day ok moe . you must forgive if i keep talking the way i do …because remember i for get your timings to be diff. that’s why .. so don’t mind ok … if i wish you gud nite for gud morn .[ ulta ..] take care dear spl. friend frly regds mari .
thanx….i agree with u about that frozen music thing…..i liked the concept of bringing in an element of music in architecture….what i am interested in is an architecture policy for state governments-so that we can blend the best of the past and the present…..
moe hearing it from you my heart just goes out to them yes the saddest thing is them being young .. ;-….sometimes we never get to know why certain things happen . actually i shall be putting a post in two weeks time .. you give me your views then mind you it’s tragic lesser than this one .tho’ but nevertheless perplexing to me …sorry won’t talk about depressive things .. be happy friend wishing you just that .. ah yes regd. my daug’s fears thanks ..nice to hear about your son too .bye fr i wish gud nite marivin
your fear is understandable Moe. God Bless dear and warm hugs. everything is going to be alright. Just lazy to exercise my brain. sometimes feel blank too. oh, would hate to spend more time than necessary in the kitchen in this sweltering heat. will come up with something:) You take care! Chitra
my !your comments on my little one yeah very true but in some things she lacks that strength for example she really has frights over a small cockroach and would bring the roof down ….have great day moe mine was so…so….take care friend bye frly regds marivin
Thanks Moe for your meaningful comments and if one thinks of all the youth out there trained in war tactics, giving up their lives, it only worsens the situation. hope to see more of you.:) warm rgds Chitra
Thanks for visiting and your comment. I liked what Friendly Ghost said about opposite attracting here as I see the laws of nature and hopefullly humanity still exist in the cyber world
you know, i had wanted to comment on your besant nagar post when i read it. you mention incidents by the beach, but i don’t recall this. the only gang around at the time was kumar & co, all of them from guru nanak college with one guy from mcc and one from loyola. they were hell raisers, played frisbee like the devil, knew all the chicks that were there including jayashri from catering college who went on to become an actress, she lived in the pre-fab flats…
don’t recall any other gang those days, not on culvert, not on the schmidt memorial, nothing… there was a black beena, right?
and about the name chennai.. it was always chennai in tamil, madras was only for the english-speaking, right?
thanx..wanted to read ur posts and comment but couldnt. sorry!! I cant stand cricket and the last 2 are cricket..sorry pal. would love to read somethin else !!
When one doesn’t have the knowledge about something then it’s easy to form negative ideas … The teacher who told me not to say ‘Elephant headed God’ was a Christian … I am sure all she must have heard is Ganesh or Ganapati … But she would not have known that Ganesh is known by so many other namesb like ‘Gajaanan’, ‘Lambodara’, ‘Vinayaka’, ‘Ekdanta’ etc… If I have to explain the meaning of ‘Lambodara’ in English, I would obviously say ‘big bellied’ but if a person does not know the meaning of that word, he/she would be shocked with such an explanation.
That’s why I feel that as a teacher, one should be aware of finer nuances of all religions … And all the teachers should be able to show respect to everybody else … But then you know how biased people are when it comes to religious matters … That’s what hurts me the most … What kind of education will we be able to give to our children when we have this kind of attitude?
hi man, read your sum of all bawl…what do u mean that you are not in bottom of the pecking order?…..you are not going to let my imagination drift are you?….for i have thought of some things.
In our green paradise its raining cats and dogs and in my iland it is raining gbss:))))) Even I should try the way of cleaning plate spotlessly to experience minnaladikkum venmai lolss We dont get food thru take away rather we go and dine out hahaha jus kidding…
hows ya:) Not seeing u in my gb…. Nowadays I can speak Englis only simbly, humbly as it is a phoren language……..thanks to You;))Hahaha Hows weather over there? And where are u gonna feast around dis weekend:))
Nah no sticking around in here..even scheming to not come back next week..jst hoping patna airport doesnt get hit by the floods..but honestly situation quite bad here..almost 30% of B’s population has been hit and left homeless and stranded and starving..
Respected Sire Moe… have a hote doge and a kok…not the ek bal scratch the big toe…dont use ur own paperback as a toilet role…now now gooooo and post a lovely humourous bloge :))))))))))))
Moe dont do puck puck puckkak…Da Vinci will go dub dub dubaak..Moe post a blog worth a paperback…write me a GB reply and make an awesome comeback…says this lady quack..:)))))))))))))
Moe…you are either speaking in mallu or some alien secret Da Vinci cryptic code on my GB’s…. not fair da…I want to laugh at your jokes too….So kindly revert back to english Sire..:))))))))))))
The weather is sunny and rainy and the rains are just like sometimes a trickle..sometimes a drizzle…sometimes thin rain..sometimes thick rain and SOMETIMES really FAT rain.( as Tom Hanks says in Forrest Gump)….oh man brollies all the time….but am loving it..as usual :))) Rains and me go a long way…you take care…have a good day…keep smiling…ciao…
oh God!!….why are you and Jissy barking like this:))kuymadiyan:))….why do you call yourself like that!!….its real hard job to write a blog like you:))then how can u be born in …………..:))And i was expecting a new blog from you!take care…..ivide mazha poyi!exams sep-5 ine theerum pinne vacationa…..bye:))))))))
Thanks a ton for the guest book entry. I normally pass on whereas I notice that when you visit people you say hi. Great stuff. Elisa ( Mona Lisa) beth says she visited my blogs thanks to you. Thanks indeed and for all the kind words. Cheers!

We meditate on the glory of our creater; who has created the universe; who is worthy of worship; who is embodiment of knowledge and light; who is remover of all sins and ignorance; may he enlighten our intellect with a hope that we attain success and bliss with every light we lit on the day of diwali…. May this diwali illuminate, our hearts and minds with the grace and light of lord….. Say “Amen (So be it)”

Hi Moe unfortunately we dont live in an ideal world. What you say makes a lot of sense, however when good people like you remain silent, its all that it takes for more injustices to be committed by the perpetrators who know that no one will say anything against their actions. It takes a lot more courage to stand up and speak for what is right than to remain silent in most instances. We are confronted by certain groupings who think nothing of killing and destroying in the name of certain religions, they think nothing of buringing an innocent woman because of their horrible greed for wealth and call it dowry, they think nothing of murdering an innocent female infant or foetus and do other equally henious actions in the name of a so called religion or so called cause. I made a committment to myself that I shall not remain silent in the face of any injustice. I paid a very high price for my stand in the past and today I shall not remain silent, others can be silent iof they wish.

that was a wonderful limerick by Shalini… i had come here to say something to that effect only but now got tongue tied after reading her verse.. lols..
thanks for the lovely comment on d latest blog thalaiva… your pictorial comments (even the non-pictorial ones too) add to the charm of blog sir. or sometimes they are more a treat than the blogs themselves. lols….
hats off to you for the wonderful comments which you never fail to leave on your friends posts.

Terror has no religion? Then why the perpatrators of more than 75% of the terror acts committed on Indian soil are followers of one religion? I think we need to wake up and wake fast.

Thanks for ur observation on red indians. I don’t believe that they could have combined to fight to white man. They signed treaties with the white fellow and “buried that hatchet” while the whiteman had no impunity using the gun. These people stuck to their word while the “white man with the burden of reforming the world” (in the name of proseltyzing) just did not. It is really sad that some very unique culture in the Carribean and Africa got wiped out in the evagelical drive.
That apart I do read your posts and I did like your westernized confusion”. Rgds, Sathya
#64 by sathya
I guess ur referring to the ratnagairiswar temple near RBI staff quarters.
I reside on those MIG flats opposite RBI on the main road. These days Besantnagar resembles a fish market like Mylapore market: too many cars and too many north indians (brazen dresses, revelry) have spoilt the place completely

Hi Moe, thanx for ur comments.
The day of love requires a companion,
But I find myself at this time all alone.
Words of sweet affection fill the morning
Like bells outside the windows of my room.
I don’t know why I don’t have someone with me.
I’ve loved and been loved through the restless years.
The mysteries of love I hold within me
Are a darkness unrelieved by moon and stars.
And yet I feel more love than I have ever
Felt within the circle of a kiss.
Love need not be a passion or a fever,
Nor does it need a hand for its caress.
Love does not require a companion.
It doesn’t need an object or a home.
It flies above the ecstasy of morning
And fills the universe inside my room.
Have a gr8 weekend ahead.
#101 by sabrina

thank you for ur comment, moe
yes, superstars do have a responsibility. and i feel shahrukh understands it well. i read a recent interview where he had said how he was trying to cut down on his smoking, and had been quite successful. i think it was wrong the part of minister to publicly pinpoint SRK and Amitabh…i think he did it just for some publicity. he could have made a personal request if he wanted to.
#112 by AdityaDas Menon
Even I had a similar experience two yrs back while attaching a video to send it…It worked in my system only……Ny way…thanks a lot for the faster response….

Thanks for that wonderful comment on my guest book… coming as it is from the gb specialist.. it is no surprise… Lols…
yes.. Jissy’s and Tamilini’s comment were great.. but i gave Jissy a rap on her knuckles.. for backing out on the ‘refuse’ thingy.. and bang she comes to my gb and writes about it.. so thoughtful of her…
as for tamilini… i will have to get at her… next time she sees any ape, not just an orangutan.. she is going to remember me i guess… lols… but then the consolation is that, that way atleast ppl might not forget me and remember me… :)))
as such i dont mind ppl calling me anything.. but u know when some ppl call me Don ji (that ji is out of respect).. i dread sometimes.. u know that the letter j and k are nearby on the keyboard and by mistake if the letter k is typed out instead of the letter j.. it will become Don ki…. now u must have got the point …. :))))
have a great day ahead thalaiva…

The last question I ask you is, ‘Are we going to sympathise with all those who are sentenced?’ If no is the answer then he too should be getting what he has sown. Law of the land should be equal for all.
#157 by dhaivat rangray
I like the idea of yours… his puishment should be a heavy fine… a really heavy fine. And a lifelong ban on working in movies. But again, we think in this fashion because we tend to sympathise with him as he is a public figure. How many of the other criminals get the same degree of attention, media coverage and public sympathy? The punishments that you suggest is not identified by the IPC. Another point is that even after paying fine and being stripped of the stardom he can still live in comfort, much better than us, hard working, God fearing, honest non-criminal types. What exactly his crime was will never become public. That he was sentenced for keeping illegal arms might just be the tip of the ice berg. I really believe that he IS getting the undue advantage of being a public figure, and also of having political connections. My only contention is that he should be seen sans his stardom and should be treated at par with other criminals.

Good Morning Moe, I have been asked why I called you thambi’s thatha when you are his thalaivar. Now you can make out who is merratufying who…:)))
Oh Moe, I am indeed honoured that u put this senior most in kg category. See, none of u can deny that.. he he….And now you’ve got him big-headed with all your mention of ‘thambi’ and yeah right, why won’t he ‘hichkis’. Finally you’re going to make him a spoilt brat ….:)))))))))
And no wonder he puts you on a platform addressing you as his thalaivar. Do I see the heights of sycophancy here??..ha ha ha
Nice weather here but we had a problem with those crazy builders next door with vehicles and cement bags off loaded on the common road not allowing any traffic to pass through and had to use some threat or the other to put some sense in their heads. Lunch was from G.shankar and the sambar was delicious today and had generous helpings of it but with rice..:))))) Have a wonderful day Moe and take care..:)

Believe me i myself find it tough to write in Tamil all the time and you’re doing great Moe. Some of the words you write are so musical and humorous to read and that adds to the speciality…:))))))) Anytime you wanna stop just go ahead, ok…..Atleast you went to that extent in Hindi, if I told you about my performance in school learning proper senthamil, you’ll laugh……I was always the target of fun and knowing my reluctance to read in front of the class I will be literally dragged by my ears and the whole class will have some fun at my expense…..

Hi Moe,
Thanks for the comment on my post. But I feel nobody’s ‘disabled’ in this world. People can be differently abled. Somehow I feel that labelling a person as disabled restricts his or her growth because then we tend to see that person as not having any abilities at all. That’s not true. Even in the example that you gave, the children were enjoying life. And, fortunately, in their case, parents were also supportive. That makes a lot of difference.
#234 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
I’ve put up a new post on a serious topic. Please have a look.
I am glad to know that I reminded you of your teacher. A bit of nostalgia is always welcome.

Some days it feels good to laze around the house just attending to small chores but I’m glad neenga naallaikku kan testukku poreenga.:) rendu naala pagal, iravaagavum, vice versava maarivittathu…… Quite warm today. Ordered some theplas (gujrati) thick chapathis with some masala powders and fenugreek/ coriander leaves mixed in. Tastes yum and have it as an evening snack. You must be joyous that it’s Friday :)))))))) shall drop by later .
Have a wonderful day and take care:))

Hey Moe,
My students are becoming smarter with each passing day but I always tell them that I am smarter than them otherwise it would become too difficult for me.
Mornings and evenings have become very cool but afternoon’s still pretty hot and humid. It rained for a couple of days some time back. Then it was dry again. All the potholes have dried up too. So it’s easier to walk on the road at present. ;-)))))))
#241 by C V
U got me in splits again……..:))))))))) Maaaannn! You and your sense of humour, deadly combo…..!!!! I only hope the next time I decide to eat there I don’t go into fits of laffter thinking of what you told me….Truth is, very likely that it will happen……..! Thank God, I’m off all kinds of Soya, never liked it except for the tofu in Chinese dishes…..Now that you’re telling me I’ll try the chicken tikka once and let you know how it is……aloo patti was quite good…..
Yes, the evening is pretty good and thambi kitta irinthu konja neram mun thaan message vanthathu. He’s sure having a great time even more so pulling everyone’s legs….:)))))))))
#242 by C V
They have the same veggies here as well and didn’t want the vinegar too. But they give very less olives and jalapenos. I let them put the tomatoes and though gooey it was tasting good with the pickles, onions, cucumber,lettuce and a slice of cheese and had only the aloo patti. Veg. patti is still not available here. They do have some Indian stuff for us- paneer tikka, soya and lentil nuggets and chicken tikka/seekh. Somehow I don’t like these combos where they put in the Indian stuff, even pizzas I prefer without them. The breads are Italian, wheat, Parmesan-oregano and honey oat. Sauces, are the same except maybe mint mayonnaise…… I went in for the mayonnaise and a dash of honey mustard. Having had my first, i think the next time I can choose what I want in the sandwich. Since it’s just started a lot of condiments in the non-veg section are still unavailable…Chose the Parmesan-oregano bread and it didn’t go soggy even after awhile..
Hope ur day is going great and take care:)
#243 by C V
A very Good Morning to you…..don’t know whether to laugh or write. You sure are truly blessed endru thaan sollavendum, ha ha ha…. I just couldn’t help laughing. Ninaithu paarthaal, ithu yenna sodhanaiyo, kashtamaga thaan irukirathu. UE padithirunthaal she would have gone into a giggling spree….
Hope the weather does get cooler this evening. Kannadi patri yen ezhuthinaen endraal, naan ennaipatriyae tamash seythukondirinthen…… Kannadiyil mugam matum paarthaal paravaayillay, matrathellam paarkum pozhuthu, sirippu, azhugaiyaga maari vidum endru:))))))))))
Can’t really complain about the weather here though it is sunny and the day was pretty good. Picked up a veg. sandwich at the newly opened Subway and it was quite good. Lunch didn’t seem to whet my appetite enough that I found myself so hungry in the next three to four hours…..
Have a wonderful day Moe and take care:))

Hi Moe, i agree, but i would argue that a poltical understanding and the dynamics of the political whirlpool would do a great deal of good to the incumbents to the high offices of the land - not necessarily a politician in the conventional sense of the term. a whiff of fresh air will always be good, all the same, the incumbents should have a good grasp of the operational mechanics of our constitutional and parliamentary polity…

A very Good Morning Mr.Whale…..I see you’ve had a whale of a time walloping all the goodie sea foodie that you’ve made me go green :))))))))) Sent you a welcome mail and I suppose you haven’t read it. Glad you had a great time Moe including the drive home and welcome back. It’s great to see you as with both the Pres and Secy off iland it’s been pretty quiet…..
Oh yes, thambi is trying to make that extra buck someway and well his appavi nature comes to our aid all the time….his demands usually fizzle out in no time……This time went to the extent of asking for his bank a/c no and I let the cat out of the bag too soon.:)))))))
Isn’t it great to see that MM is back….hope to see UE now. My weekend was quite good and had some delicious brunch and carried over lunch for tea time……a relaxing Sunday it was. Oh, you don’t have to call me that, no way, especially coming from you!!!!!! :))))))
Have a wonderful day and take care:)

I think I’ve hit the nail on the head… You’ll now see all the comments….. BTW what are you gonna have for dinner? I’ll have haandvo, a gujju specility. It’s a salted cake sort of thing. A batter consisting of flour ( rice 60% daals - toor, urad, mung and channa 40 %) soaked overnight in buttermilk. When it leavens salt, sugar, turmeric and a paste of ginger and chillies is added to it. A variety of grated vegetables (gourd, carrots, cauliflower, corn, peas.) go in next. Then the batter is given a tadka of oil, sesame seeds, asafoetida, mustard and red chillies- whole as well as powdered. once the tadka is done the mixture is baked in a greased and dusted dish for 40 minutes at 175* C. when done it is a mmmmmmm delicacy. Poke a knife in and if it doesn’t stick to it then it is done.

Good Morning EP Pres, you must be taking under the coolness of your fan (couldn’t help reading and laughing at the Khaitan in thambi’s) that you don’t want to venture into our ilands and UE’s been looking for you….:)))))Hope you had a wonderful night and the weather ain’t all that bad today though you had given us the forecast for the next few days…….
The sun out today though I won’t say it was hot, quite pleasant…..but the rains have brought all kind of tiny insects into the house that we have to keep the lights off for longer periods…..Now it’s understandable why you want to keep your favorite id-sa for weekends…:)))))))))) and here we want to enjoy something more exotic since it’s weekends, funny isn’t it?
You must be through with your bfast, hopefully so:). Had some fried kutti idlis for the evening and probably chapathis with some veg gravy for dinner. Have a wonderful day and take care:))

I thought she said two days but I am not sure……Luckily, no cold and he’s on warmer terrain at the moment and should be back tomorrow. Dinner is our traditional arisi-paruppu sadam with onion raita and chutney.

Did u tell me it’s Friday? s…h…i…t….:)))))))))))))) so you must be at your friday best to escape at your earliest, hmm?
It’s still pleasant weather here, not so cloudy and cool. Last night with the fan on he was shivering and I just couldn’t understand it as I felt so comfortable. Coaxed him to use more than usual sheeting to cover himself and thank God he agreed and felt better.:))))))

That was so hilarious… you surly rock Moe.. Loved that GB about Lizzie.. It also reminds of some funny story. I was living in the hostel those days. In Lucknow. On one Saturday night around 3 am I came out of my room just to take some fresh air. .. I saw light in one of the frnds’ room so went inside.. There I witnessed one of the funniest scenes of my life. About five six girls were trying to shoo the lizard out of the room with all their efforts into the vain…The girl who belonged to that room( or vice versa) was standing 12 feet outside the room… I laughed my belly out.. I am sure the lizard might be enjoying too. I took a broom and slowly touched tail of the lizard with it.. It started moving.. and you can well imagine the after event.. I was running behind the lizard and all the girls were behind me running and shouting.. :))))))))

Each of your wisdom teeth… How many wisdom teeth you have.. no wonder loads of it.. my dentist is nice.. he literally did the root canalling with almost no pain.. that’s why I called it date with dentist.. Although I was soooooo scared of him.. I Atlanta i used to go to an Indian restaurant near Peachtree center. One was near CNN also.. Both were punjabi..I New York and bufalo also I ate at some very good Indian and Chinese restrants.. I used to love those fortune cookies at Chinese ones.
#287 by angel a
Just imagine how would it be … may be you can come up with a blog on it :))))))))))))
#288 by angel a
Hi Moe, how are you? So yesterday was barbecue with the hot dogs, burgers, corn etc and then ending with fireworks- slurp slurp
Great.. I too am foodie and love all Indian varieties from different regions.. When I was there, being vegetarian, I used to keep looking for Indian restaurants..;) How is your day going? My day was hectic.. Had an appointment with the dentist (date with the dentist :)) in the evening. Just came back.. Have a great Thursday….. Just one more day ;D
#289 by C V
You got me laughing on two counts, one the hamburger and two about the hearing aids we’ll have to use and of course the dish water. You are really something:)))))))))). Now honarary secy has put a clause here that he won’t allow us on until he made sure we paid membership fees and that too in USD and he’s going to retain it is what I derive. Goes against the first rule of ‘appavi’ to be in the club. Also, he had to get the meaning of the term from me. can you tell me where all this leaves us and I’m yet to contact Meena about it all…..
It’s chole and bhatura on the dinner menu and lunch was chapati, dhal and veggies. Enjoy your day and take care……
#290 by C V
Good Morning, hope you’re feeling much better now. Had your b’fast, right? That helped I hope. Yeah i guess it is SSDD most days for everyone. I thought UE won’t be in today and it was a sweet surprise to find that she was.
It’s still chill out here, no rains but cloudy. Have a wonderful day and take care:)

Hi Moe,
I’ve become a bit busy with some commitments. So, I won’t be able to visit iland every day, ok?
Yes, it has rained and has become cooler and students have become naughtier now.
#293 by Jayalakshmi Srinivasan
Hi…yes, I’m doing everything I can to enjoy college, though you’re right, things can go a little downhill at times. And when that happens, I’ll think of what you’ve said. Have you done anything really mischievous at college :)?
Cheers, Jaya.
#294 by C V
Hi Moe, u must pretty much be in snoozeland to be able to see my message. Had an okay sleep and it’s quite nice this morning. The weather is still cool and it’s cloudy today. Thanks Moe for your good effort to putting things back on line with thambi. hahaha…..look at what he has had to say….That’s how much he has understood me
So Mr.President of the club now along with a joint decision between you and the honorary secretary of the club you’ll can induct Mari, Meena and me as your life members.
Got to tell Mari and Meena about this…..Have a good sleep and a wonderful holiday…hehehe just imagining you getting tipsy on those concoctions……tizzy on te*qu*il*a eh? awwwright! Have fun….and take care:)

Hi .. Good to see your message. I was wondering why i did not get reply as yet.. but then realized well your time to get up is when we all plan to go to sleep LOl. After my conference was over in Atlanta I went to Connecticut ( Yale University ), New jersey and then Manhattan on official travel. I had clubbed my holidays with work so after it was over I then spent good four days in New York City holidaying. Later went to Buffalo and Canada to see Niagara falls.. That was an awesome experience Moe. Then I went to you own Washington DC and spent two days sightseeing from where I left back home. I liked WDC .. Unlike congested New York althought i found its night life megnificent. Our Delhi is more like WDC, open with huge parks and greenery. ..:)
#307 by C V
Hey Moe, i know what you meant when u called him appavi, ok. I wanted to have some fun at his expense and that’s the reason I translated it so. I do understand that u would want to clear that and I too expected it.:)))))))) Wow, that’s so expensive. Thanks for letting me know and I’m very sure you’re heading the right direction in everything that you do.
I’ll call it a day and enjoy your afternoon and evening. :))
#308 by C V
Ok, advice taken buddy:))))))). I guess you should know better about the surgery. hahaha, never miss a chance for some humour……..so this time its the owls:))))))))))) Well, well, Rajesh appavi? Does that translate dumb in English? hahaha. I want him to read this message…….

Goooood Morrnnnning Moooooeeeee…….so sorry but just came online after a long day and some rest. I haven’t read a single post today Moe and went straight to Mari’s and now to yours. I am in no rush to read and taking my own sweet time as I found spending too much time online can still drain me out.
Interesting stuff for dinner and believe me, ended up with sambar and idlis for bfast. The dough had turned more sour than usual so I won’t say it was great. Lunch was cow peas with turnips and broad beans curry and cluster beans for vegetable. Dinner is chapatis with cauliflower kurma. Mari’s having new kinds dosas and I’m sure it will be great.
Moe, U mean you discovered that you have power in your vision? Yeah, there are alternates as u said and even the power gets corrected by lasik surgery right? Hmm…. hope you get the right remedy and take care. You’re being generous in your compliments
about my culinary skills…Gee……thanks:)))))))) Glad the weather is cool..

Today the Times of India reports that two Army soldiers who were trying to rape 17 year old were paraded naked. It must be the first time in the history of nearly three-decade war against separatists in the valley that the villagers have stand up for their rights against human rights violations.

Exactly…it is difficult to come to a consensus on that matter. I’m going to try and find ‘The Shepherd’, because I like paranormal stories that have some meaning to them.

thanks for the wonderful insight……. yes you are absolutely correct.

#409 by Jissy Thomas
Hi Moe,
What to do?
I am not so lucky. No rains yet in Baroda. Heat is making me breathless at times. When I get the bout of breathlessness I have to lie down and when I lie down I don’t feel like getting up.
You a pest? I don’t think so. I am going to ask Mari and CV whether they consider you to be a pest or guest. ;-)))))))))
Is something wrong with Mari’s GB? Tried posting a message on her GB but it just did not go. I am not in a position to mail her.
#410 by meena sundar
Hi moe, good morning. i hope u had good night sleep. hmm… here, just a boring day, nothing special, i tried to write something but, i couldnt. just now i am reading others post … may be it takes another one hour. how r u? take care. have a wonderful day. bye.

Moe, sorry, am not able to post in her gb and had it in my clipboard and put it here. The cat’s out of the bag and already mari was laffing and now I am too, imagining you drinking it up:))))))))))))))))))))
#414 by C V
Hi dear Moe, some similarity there, I love lots and lots of sambar with idlis and with rice too, you’ll find the gravies running from the rice. everyone, even in my family is so surprised as to how I can add on so much but I prefer it that way.
I know some North indians who drink up the sambar too:)))))))))))))
I read Mari’s message about Thunder. Though i’m not a great friend of his, I enjoy all his posts especially his latest and what Mari says is surprising.
Now my abb is changed to EB, like electricity board:))))))))))) and honestly I can’t come up with anything and mari is wondering why. Now will have to wait till tomorrow. Take care :))))))))))))))))))))
#415 by Mari Vin
moe you now something thunder has changed name to ”none” and came over to my gb bidding farewelll went to his iland but allhisposts are removed and cannot email him too i asked mmand he tooconfirmed it but we don’t know what hapened did he tell you too?

ok just a change of cv’s abbreviation with your permission it ‘gs going to be E.B. i shall tell you the abreviation by tomorrow and do the same to her ok. i shalltelltherasn too .you’llmight thinkit stupid but no not for me ..
confusing again i thnk so do wait yet another day .bye
#416 by C V
Dear Moe, A wonderful morning to you.:)) I hope the drizzle has cooled down the climate but I doubt with it being so cloudy…My day’s been good, thanks…Moe, I’m so glad to read that Mari enjoyed herself thinking of our jokes when she turned out that delicious meal. She was so considerate to me as I hadn’t eaten nv yesterday but I guess I haven’t missed much making do with the mention of her menu for the day in your gb.:)) I still haven’t gotten the mail from her for the abrreviations and looks like she didn’t receive any of mine either.:((( lunch we had sambhar and bitter gourd vegetable that didn’t turn out as usual but not bad. Have a wonderful day and take care:)))
#417 by Mari Vin

#420 by rajesh vora
when the don speaks, every one listens… it is that way since centuries.. and it will be that way in future too….

Thanks for your ocmments on my GB Moe.. I do not beleive those so called diets.. I eat every thing in moderation.. The idea is to have healthy food with moderation.. and go for regular exercises.. BTW i am foody and do deviate sometimes
but then somehow balance it out.. And i cant stay away from the rice.. No way! 
So lets share some low calorie good healthy recipes.. and remain healthy.. Regards, Angel 
#427 by angel a
Hi Moe, saw your comments in sathiya’s GB about comments.. I like Namrata’s approach.. But you know what, there is a diffrence between providing good, critical comments subtally and being judgemental..Sometimes people, just based on reading a post, start assessing the personality of the writer without knowing him or her and unnecessarily pass on guru gyan and judgemental remarks.. Thats not good.. I have seen here ppl locking their horns on nasty comments.. Dont you agree? Regards, Angel
#428 by Bad Angel

#440 by C V
The best I can do is ‘Welcome to the joys of summer’:). it must be real bad Moe and how terrible that you have to put up with it and with high humidity it’s worse, like as if the air is hung up around us. That’s the feeling i get when I go to Chennai. I will remember this now as you’ve already told us about the start of summer. What are the temperatures like? You seem happy that it is Friday and you can take off early. Good:)))))))
Dinner is Tomato Sevvai (broken idiyappam) and chutney.. Thank God the power came on as it was getting hotter by the minute though it is evening.
No special plans for the weekend, just the usual. Take care :))))))

Good Morning Moe. Hope it’s a beautiful day out there and you’re fine and enjoying it. I’ve been fine most of the day but just felt a bit off color for a couple of hours and sprung back to normalcy:) Moe, Mari’s out for the evening and will be back later…1st Friday of the month so you can guess where. Asked me to inform you So Swiss Bank has painted some descriptions for you I heard and was so amused thinking of your reactions:))))))))))). I’ll wait to hear and send you a fwd of one incident.
Lunch was Chapatis, mixed veg kurma and your favorite okra which we usually chop into smaller rounds, dry fry with a little oil. Fry mustard, urad dhal, small onions, add the okra, sprinkle sambar powder and turmeric and salt and fry lightly till raw smell goes and bfast was as mentd last eve- puris.
We have a power cut now and very little battery Moe so shall be back when power is on. Have a wonderful day and take care:)))))))))))))))))

Hi Moe,
Flavoured water??? What flavour do you use? I am imagining the day when you will be back in India. First, it was AC. Now, flavoured water. You are going to be in deep trouble, Mr. Snob. ;-))))))))))))) I used to have flavoured water too. Warm water with cumin seed (jeera) I like it’s taste provided you drink it warm. But now I am getting used to drinking plain water. We can’t get flavoured water everywhere, can we?
#446 by Mahen Mishra
Good Morning Moe!!
Take Care n Have a great day ahead!!!!
#447 by C V
Your message tells me I’m late, missed wishing you and you’re already in snooze land.:( Hope you’re having a wonderful sleep Moe. I called it a day early and feeling refreshed this morn just as your message states:))))))))))))). Usual idlis and tomato-potato kuzhambu fare and still deciding the lunch menu. Mari is always underestimating her capabilities, hmm…shows what a humble person she is….I’ll be around to wish you in your morn, thanks for your beautiful wishes and take care:)))))))

#453 by Jissy Thomas
Hi Moe,
Great teachers are always an asset. They mould minds.
About your comment praising me, that’s one big problem that I face. When somebody praises me I don’t know how to react. Many of my blogger friends are praising me now-a-days. You tell me what to do? :-)))

Hey Moe,
You’ll find the blogs about Diamond Jubilee in the category ‘Did You Know?’ I guess now it shouldn’t be difficult for you to search. ;-)))))))
By the way, thanks for the compliment about me on CV’s GB. You know which comment , don’t you? I am blushing.
#459 by Mari Vin
Moe you had asked me what’s for?:-))))… ah yes! What cv did yesterday but with slight variation stuffed chapathis .. with onion raitha
I think You know no moe? Hope it’won’t be tedious for you to listen
The dough must be mixed in correct proportion
Then the usual potato masal is made with green chilies , ginger and coriander shreds and just a tomato
In a cup like dough you stuff the masal carefully so that they don’t fall off and then make it like you do the chappathis you fry both sides with oil not as you do for puri’s ..but
And then it’s ready to serve..
remember it will taste good only if it’s made and served hot
And the going also will be very slow only ..
Finished must get to hear what cv is about for today .. so ciao moe . leave you to answer your mails bye and what about you ?
#460 by C V
Goody Good Moorrnnnning to you:))))))))))) I had to give my wish some extra sugar coating Moe :))))) hahaha you heard it? and what fun, I didn’t hear you enter as i was taking a nap in one corner:))))) well, that helped a lot and thanks! So your morning is good and am glad. Haven’t muffined for long have you or I missed out? It’s been quite hot today but bearable.
Lunch was green gram curry with carrot raita and cluster beans and dinner I guess we’ll settle for some semia uppma with red chutney. I wonder what Mari had and I’m yet to visit her this eve. Take care and have a wonderful day:)))))))
#461 by meena sundar
hi moe, i am fine. u r up at this hour:))) anyway, take care.

#464 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
Read Rajesh’s comment on your GB stating that I have better command over Gujju language than him even though it’s his mother tongue. I was born and brought up in Baroda, the cultural capital of Gujarat. That’s why I am comfortable speaking in Gujarati but if you tell me to speak in Malayalam, my mother tongue, I’ll be groping for words. So, Rajesh is much better than me in that respect. At least, he speaks his mother tongue.
#465 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
Think you didn’t go through my previous posts on Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the school where I teach.
Yes, I teach Computer theory to kids in Primary section. It’s a difficult task. They are more interested in computer practicals. They like to play computer games. ;-)))))) But I really enjoy my job. I have tried a bit to be like your English professor when it comes to teaching. I don’t feed them with bookish knowledge alone. I am not sure whether they’ll follow all the advices that I give them. Some of the students who have left the school, though, come and tell me that they still remember things that I had told them in class. Isn’t that a wonderful compliment for any teacher? :-)))

You wrote: “Well you could have bitten me off -but then what does a Sponge taste like? So how did you get fluent in Tamil. Were you in TN for some time or just picked it up. Seriously -I really admire folks who are fluent in languages other than their own. Take care. ”
Darn !! I thot that was a piece of cheese… i dont want no sponge…
fluent in tamil? well, it so happens that i was born and brought up here. so i guess i dont have to say anything more. Yesterday, i got a certification from Meena akka that i sound like a propah tamilian only.. not someone for whom it is a foreign language… and yes.. i wud definitely love to learn a couple of European languages and Urdu. that is my wish.

Oh my, in my anxious state I didn’t let the rest of your message even register. haha, I like that and agree Mari will indeed be our swiss bank:)))))))))))I hope she’s read that message. Yes Moe, right philosophy one indeed requires two hands to make it work but the quality of the first hand is what makes the second hand make the choice of wanting to move in the right direction, is it not? I did think of you’ll when had my dinner.:)))))I am glad that you enjoy our messages as much as I do yours and hers. Over to Mari and hope you’re getting good sleep. Take care:)
#471 by C V
Dear Moe, thanks a ton and both of you have said almost the same. Wow! I’m sorry I bugged you a bit, reminding you unnecessarily. Have a wonderful night and it’s my turn to thank God for giving me friends like Mari and you. A pleasant morning today, thanks for your wishes.Good night and take care:))

#473 by rajesh vora
hey mm… thank ur lucky stars that u r in yankeedom.. otherwise i wud sure have bitten u off… i mean i am a food junkie.. and wid an avatar like urs.. i sure wud b tempted to take a bite… LoLs..
hmm.. as for languages… i wish to learn a few more.. but constraints of both time and availability of quality teachers is proving to be an impediment towards the same. but then lots of ppl know half a dozen languages .. so me thinks y u r surprised….
i use tamil wid CV, Meena and gifty… and gujju with Jissy - her command over gujju is much more than mine.. even though it happens to be my mother tongue… i love both the languages a lot….
#474 by C V
Moe, read my mail to you please……

Good morning…..see this is the drawback of my style of reading blogs….one person a day….your turn came after 8 days….and one more thing….in future too I may not be a regular visitor but promise to stick with me and remain in touch forever…I value you and other iland friends a lot…have a good day…wanna see some funny things? go to rajeshvohra.rediffiland.com and see my comments on his posts (last 4 posts). he is a very dear friend and we are on mobile terms with each other….do a leg pulling a lot too
#481 by C V
Hi Moe, that’s an interesting spread. So by the time you’ll are done with the Appetisers, the kids get to the main course..:)))) isn’t that how it usually happens? Was it a beer BBQ or something more exotic? I woke up quite early this morn though we went to sleep around midnight but feel pretty fresh. I hope and am sure Mari’s having a great time and I wondered whether she treated all of them with her biryani yesterday. I happened to read Namrata’s post on MM’s wedding and it’s amazing that they have so many days of rituals to follow. And news to me that they are not allowed to go out for eight days as he has said here. Take care and good snoozing:)
#482 by Mahen Mishra
Oh!! n your marriage for me is like jet speed… We have so many rituals to follow really its like the bride n grooms feels irritated for some time… you will be surprise to know that bride n groom cannot go out for 8 days from the date of marriage….!!
#483 by Tina Rohra

#484 by Mahen Mishra

#485 by C V
Great to hear from you Moe and so glad you’ll had a wonderful time. So you’ll made it in time before the crowds hit and must have helped you’ll have more space and fun…:)) Talk about missing the two of you..:( I have been too. Mari did drop in on Saturday and it was a pleasure to read her message. I like the way you word it-barbachoo :))) hmm, makes me hungry imagining all the goodies you’ll would have had. My week end was pretty good and fun too….Have a wonderful sleep and hope to see you tomorrow. Good Night!:)

So shall bid Good .A.N to you and gn tome tc frly regds mari vin have a great day !!
#501 by amol prabhudesai
congrats Moe… u r on the rediff Iland login page… that’s really nice, enjoy the lime light buddy… & take care. keep blogging.. bye
#502 by C V
A big sigh of relief as I finally sent you the recipe:)). Seasoned dosas: we fry some mustard, urad dal, finely chopped small onions, a small tomato (optional), curry leaves and broken red chillies lightly fried with the others and blend it in the dough and make slightly thicker than usual dosas and thinner than uthappams. Mari also make is but I don’t know the exact ingredients. Thanks.I’ll keep kalpatharu in mind. Ok Moe if possible i’ll see you later:) Take care:)
#503 by C V
contd.. we call it vanjiram meen, may be that will help. Sea fish is expensive, this seer costs 300 a kilo now, river or dam fish is cheaper at 80-150 a kilo. Dinner is seasoned dosas with chutney and curd rice. Enjoy your day Moe and in case I don’t wish you in time Have a wonderful weekend:))
#504 by C V
Hi Moe, I had a good laugh reading about that food part and your oinks:)))))))).
So hope everything goes by your plans for the weekend, esp to the beach.
Tirupur is about 60 kms to the interior from here and yes, that was a terrible tragedy. When I get to hear of these incidents, there was also a horrible road accident in Chenglepet where the car sandwiched between a bus and lorry caught fire, i wonder how they’d be before such a calamity befall them. Will they even sense for a moment……..will never have answers to these questions. I can’t imagine how a compound wall can collapse, I mean in terms of the strength of its foundation to be unable to withstand one hour of incessant rains. No answers to why they would want to have the tasmac bars with zinc or asbestos roofing either.
I think it is nei meen, has only a central bone, but not too sure. Sorry, i’m bringing in the topic of food again but Kari meen Kerala style is my favorite and the best I have had is in Kottayam.
Take car
#505 by Mari Vin
moe yes i do it ….when the rains come i like to get wet ..so no silliness :-))))
so you did make me wait …good i enjoyed the joke :-))
leave you to answer mails bye

#509 by C V
Good Morning Moe.:) the power came back after a few hours. Thank God since it was very sultry this noon, cloudy with the slightest of drizzle. I agree with you about swimming Moe. That’s how my husband had learnt too in a well. usually it comes easier when young and with my bronchitis problem my folks must have been scared to put me in the water then.
Yes, Mari is not to be seen and i guess she must be busy. Didn’t get the seer fish we wanted to today so will settle for some light veg for dinner. it’s nice to get these offers in restaurants:)
Have a wonderful day Moe and Take care:)
#510 by Mahen Mishra
Thank you Moe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moe@ with reference to your suggestion: ie not a bad idea. the cellphone is outdated very easily secondly the battery life long is short in cellphone. thanks for your suggestion. i like you suggestion. hope the suggestion given to me by our friends will not only benefit to me but also to all the members.
#513 by Pavement Freud
MM…had a good time reading your posts laced with humor…now I know where to get my dose of humor…have a gr8 day ahead
#514 by C V
GN to you and GM to me. Pretty cool this morning though last evening was breezy with a slight drizzle which only sent the heat up a few degrees. I’ve always wanted to learn to swim and however old I am surely going to pick that up one day. made two attempts, the first one my friend taught a couple of us the breast stroke without teaching us to float first and that became a handicap in my second lesson which ended in a few days as i came down with a viral infection. I always wondered why some people have jacuzzis in house when the best part of the jacuzzi is to enjoy it in the open with a starlit sky and a cool breeze.:) Any plans for the Memorial day weekend? Power shut down today so can’t come online as my battery is down already. So wishing you a wonderful morning too Moe. Take care:)

Well we did think of buying a new camera but then decided against it. Said let us memorise each moment and keep it for posterity. A new experience for me who is generally a camera crazy person. Love shooting pics. Shot plenty in Goa and kashmir too. Sometimes it is good to be without certain conveniences like mobile not working in certain areas, no electricity on high mountains, no net conection. Helps one connect with nature I feel.
#519 by C V
Nearing sleep time dear friend. thanks for your wishes and hope you enjoy the rest of your day:)
#520 by Misty Bella
No Moe, this is a pic of the shikara on Dal lake Srinagar, Kashmir. Unfortunately my camera conked off on way to Corbett. This is a net pic. Had to share………though.
Warm Regards
Misty
#521 by Misty Bella

#522 by C V
Moe, I was just teasing you okay and i bet you know it:))
#523 by C V
Avocados we basically get in Ooty Moe and I assumed it was grown there and in Bangalore. Nowadays it is available here also. I love artichokes too, the steamed leaves with melted butter or plain and the hearts in a baked dish. Do you like chinese mushrooms? I love the taste of them but never settled well in my system. Not available here. Oh, i liked the way you wanted to tease Mari, that was so cute Moe. If i say anything more, i’ll begin to see colors- pink or red?:)). One of these days I am going to and you’ll find it hard to come out of your b****y state:))))) keep it going good, dear.:)
#524 by Mari Vin

REALLY DO I DESERVE SUCH GREAT FRIENDS LIKE YOU’LL?!!! MUST SHARE IT WITH ROSA NEXT TIME SHE RINGS UP ..and i’ll tel you’ll what she said ok
#526 by C V
BTW, i can imagine the sweat breaking from the heat of the chillies. I experience the same when I have those stuffed chillies. I don’t take pickles at all Moe, doc’s advice to stay off and i miss them and coffee which I’ve given up on due to my ayurvedic medication. Take care:)
#527 by C V
Hi Moe, your message to Mari appeared just as i was posting mine:) I loved her honesty in admitting it and high hopes she’s got that we’ll see her in a different light.:)) I love her all the more for it.
I love Jalapenos but I don’t know whether the one’s they use here in pizzas is fresh. There’s a restaurant here which makes good nachos and I love their avacado dip and jalapenos that go with it. I’m not sure whether it’s the authentic version though.
Hope the day is going great for you Moe, enjoy your day. See you later. Take care:)

Good Morning MOe…!!
Have a great n chilling Day Ahead!!
#530 by Namrata Harichandan
I posted a new episode of GFN series which I think is quite inspired by your style of writing. The original text as usual ran into 4 sheets of A4 size paper which after going thru your posts made me feel too lengthy. Earlier I had done that color coding thing for the convenience of readers who want the story in nutshell. I don’t think that worked. Any way I felt I should trim it. So his time my story is only 2 and a half pages , without any hindi words (keeping CV in mind) and devoid of drags. But seriously I feel as if I have killed the natural flow….I wait for you observation and necessary corrections
#531 by meena sundar
i lke that post moe, it is really a nice gesture from ur side… so, u r also getting very serious abt this blog world friends. sometimes, this virtual world makes us happy and reasonable.

just before I winded up I looked into my mail and there I saw your post so curiosity driven I read and found this post .. I think I owe you a special thanks no?
#534 by Mari Vin
thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhankss………………moe :-))))))))))))))))))))
#535 by C V
Moe, Mari wanted me to read her message to you about herself and I did so and agree with what you told her. By the way, kutti idlis are the mini idlis and we have special plates for it, with small depressions slightly bigger than one inch in diameter. We get in the stores and it comes complete with the vessel. We use the same to make the mini idlis and if the dough is good, one can get real soft ones. Enjoy your day Moe and see you in the morn my time:)
#536 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
Thanks for the comments on my GB. Some construction work’s going on near our house. I see little children of the workers standing in the hot sun, playing, giggling. I think they are very strong. Contrary to that, well bred city moms would never allow their children to play in the sun. These city bred children have all sorts of ailments. We must learn to live in any given situation, no? Our body becomes what we make it to be, strong or weak. What to you say?
#537 by Mari Vin
good night to me good afternoonto you moe … shall read a while then am off to snoozeland bye tc frly regds marivin
#538 by C V
:))) I can never forget the connexion with duh! Hear the word and his pic appears in front of me. I loved Juggie, he was the best for me. Only this morn we were talking about the Sad Sack (American army) comics and laughed about it. I’m glad you enjoyed recollecting all that. Sometimes it’s nice to go down memory lane, ain’t it? Yeah, we used to say jollu ozhuguthu (flowing) or oothuthu and guess what, I suddenly remembered some similarity, Jugs and you love food:))))
#539 by Mari Vin
Read your comments moe thanks very much
Nice to know abt. Your f-in- l . modestly I can say one thing moe and that is: I too am far away from this small vice . my hubby asks my mother often how I am able to be like that but she said that I am like that from my early age .even in fr’p moe I am just that I just let free there is a saying ‘’in love and fr’p you’ve got to let it go, if it comes back it’s yours but if it doesn’t it was never yours’’’ .so too with me .. I want every one to be happy and will quietly walk out if it ‘s going to enhance another person’s happiness . and I can never dream of spoiling another ‘s relationship . first thing I won’t even know moe .. that people could be devious that’s is my problem says my husband ..but i think that Goodnesswill pay no?
have i digressed moe ? or have i bored just wrote what went on inmy head that’s all:-)
#540 by C V

I am posting a poem and another ..moe read and tell me you’ll like it :-)))))))))
#545 by C V
Hi Moe, it’s good to know that all of you had a wonderful time. read about the park and lake in Mari’s and remembered one message of yours in Hope’s about the geese and not being able to swim. I’m not sure if i remember correctly, I guess it was to that extent. That must be sick with the geese as their beauty is marred by their cackle. We had some at home a long long time back when my nephew took a fancy for them and he had to give up on them as no one could sleep and they messed up the whole place. I suddenly remembered. Dinner is uppma and tomato chutney. I’ll mail the recipe today. Enjoy your day. Take care:)
#546 by Mari Vin
Hiiiiiiiii moe .good morning to you !so you did have a nice time in your outing:-):-) thanks moe for your encouraging words !!!!
The day is pretty hot but evenings are a bit cool
If it pours then it will be great !!may be this is asking too much I guess in the peak of summer .. let’s hope the S. W. monsoons don’t fail us…in the 1st week of June .depends on when kerala gets the rains is it not ? my geography is a little poor . it’s ok becos it’s moe and cv only ?I don’t mind making mistakes cos ‘you two really .knowledgeable people could correct me no?:-)
.btw . I’m going to make kutti idlis with sambhar and white chutney and green chutney . so work up my sleeve till later .‘I leave you to answer mails .bye marivin

Dear Moe, Good Morning!:) Hope you had a good night’s sleep after your busy and enjoyable Sunday and woke up to a lovely day. My day has been good so far but today is one hot day. i have been in great spirits since I heard from Mari about her special prayers. We do have a beautiful friend, don’t we Moe.:) She had some special food too and I’m sure she’ll be telling you about it.
We shared Biryani recipes yesterday and one of our ilander friends Rajesh found it so funny, saying it’s definitely not a guest book but recipe section:))))Have a wonderful day and will come by later:)

#552 by C V
Hi Moe, not at all. It’s not possible to go checking on everyone’s blogs whether they have a post, right. We can get to see the alerts and you are not able to access your mail account and it is perfectly understandable. Thanks for your knowlegeable comments. I was in two minds as it is a very sensitive issue but the women I know who have endured pain but have come out of it successfully inspired me to write about them. You think it’s okay? I too noticed ‘the third rock from the sun’. I’d like to know what it means. Okay Moe, time to go to bed. You will be leaving early today, must have headed home by now. Enjoy the rest of your day. Take care:)

Dear Moe, You’re more than welcome and I wish it was possible:-) I had put up a post this afternoon. Let’s see what your views are after you read it. Take care
#557 by Hopeful One
Oh, and Moe, I am snuggled up to that woodstove for the morning reading Shantaram. Just started it a few days ago. It is in pre production stage for release in the theatres next year. And Johnny Depp is linked to it
#558 by C V
Hi Moe, glad it’s getting warmer for you. Hope must be chilled to the bone. Hope she gets some sun.
Orange juice will be great if I weren’t allergic to it. Bronchitis. It’s cooled down considerably now and I’m enjoying the weather. Isn’t it funny how both our colds have disappeared. Wonder what Mari’s remedy was.
Lunch was sambhar with some baked mushrooms. Dinner is Chole(more of a gravy form) with Bhatura for others and bread for me.
Mari is so happy with the response she got for her post and i am thrilled for her. Enjoy your day and will drop by later.:)
#559 by Hopeful One
Hi Moe! Good morning to you and thanks for making me smile. Yes , trip was nice yesterday. But today is cold cold and rainy. I have had to start the woodstove to keep warm!!! Let Chitra read that! I woke up to 42F (5.6 C) and it is mid May!!! So I hope you send the sun soon.
Yes, we get quite a few white egrets and they are pretty against the green. And come July and Augst the marsh turns purple with loose strife. It is so beautiful but is a problem because it is choking out the wetlands. There is actually a river running thru the marsh which is being choked.
Won’t be doing those lake swims until July, that is when it will be warm enough. And you are right, New England is beautiful in the Fall but winters stink. So you are welcome here anytime…
#560 by Mari Vin
sure moe shall take your advice i’m drinkin gallons of water more of lime juice ..:-)
i was :_))))))))))))))) at your wanting to come however whether there are super sonic flights you must be knowing .better plll do !!tc until later
#561 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
Thanks for the GB message….. I thought only Indian weathermen commit blunders….. So this problem is universal. ;-))))))
Back in Gujarat, it’s very humid….. We are drinking lots of water….. Can’t help but wait for rains….. But hten when you come back to India, won’t you find the weather difficult to bear?
By the way, Indian weathermen have forecasted that rains will come early this time…… Hope they are true at least this time.
#562 by Mari Vin
HI moe a very good morning to you !!
My cold is better .cv is not so I think ..
Here the weather continues to be hot but cloudy tho’ stuffy .
Oh we had fish fry with pepper resam in the afternoon
Night I’m planning dosa with red chillie - chutney
You ‘ll like it …?
My post is ready but morrow I shall post it

Hey Moe,
Thanks for the comment on my GB. Feels great to have a friend like you.
#566 by C V
Dear Moe, you must be heading towards early morn in your deep sleep. i came by late though I sent you my wishes. had quite an evening with the remainder of the cold and the time consuming preparations, so saw your messages this morning. Thanks Moe. That chicken in the dishes must have done it’s share. I was telling Mari that I felt like a zombie with blocked ears etc but it cleared up quickly.
I actually have a book on Vitamin and Minerals and that’s where i saw that taking two Vit C tab of 500mg in a gap of six to eight hours clears the cold in a day and believe me it works.
I’m glad the instances have come down and my wishes for a complete recovery. Hope left a wonderful cooling message for me and I appreciate her thoughtfulness.
Yeah, it’s celebration time as Namrata and Mari said, you’ve hit 500 in quite a short time. So Mr.Popular what’s the treat for us:)))It better be good:) Congrats!. I ask for the treat and then congratulate you. hmm, that’s your friend:)Have a wonderful day

hi moe:-)… good nite to me and goodafternoon to you . i’m going to take remedy for my coldness so bye .take care frly regds marivin..

Hi Moe, too much preparation for dinner. Wrong choice but he said chicken will help with my cold etc. That must be terrible having to face the sun morn and eve. Migraines must be terrible Moe. Do you get it often? I know a couple of people who have a tough time and they need to be in a dark room till they come out of it. Hope and pray you get rid of it totally.
Agreed Moe, that kind of attitude exists in all nationalities, I used to wonder what makes them so and voiced my thoughts. Well, that’s what makes us such a colorful race, each with his/her +es and -es.:)
Mari’s post is beautiful and I enjoyed reading it. Have a lovely day and take care:)
#579 by Mahendra Mishra
Ya!! I m doing well… Hope you r too doing well no cough…. no cold… nothing…
Thanks for the comment n take your good care!!

Hi Moe,
You remembered my Garfield when you saw your neighbour’s cat? Hope you have heard that a cat has nine lives. That means you won’t forget me and my Garfield soon. ;-)))))))))
#581 by Hopeful One
Good Morning Moe! Yes, I went to the mirror today and smiled and it was nice. Am off for a day long journey to New Hampshire again. It is sooooo coooooool here this morning, i had to put on polar fleece and
yet I read of CV’s heat. Our warm days are too few, but the summers are always beautiful here with the cool nights and campfires to huddle around after a nice swim in a lake warmed by the sun all day………ahhhh……the good things in life……..Have a fantastic day……..
#582 by Mari Vin

Moe, Touch Wood (I did):-) That must have been quite a thunderstorm last evening and getting caught up in traffic can really drain a person. Glad you had a good sleep.:)

i have a couple of personal experiences and have heard from others too. Do you agree with me or am I wrong? Take care and enjoy your day.:)
#590 by C V
A very Good Morning to you Moe. Great that you’ve begun your day well. I dozed of for awhile as the heat, my cold and headache was getting to me. Feel better now. The vit c really helped.
Mari said she wasn’t feeling well either and I was concerned. MM noticed this, wished the two of us and hoped you were doing well. That was sweet of him.
Dinner is chicken noodles and chinese style chicken gravy. I don’t want to give a specific name to it as I’ve never come across any two places where it’s similar and i’ve come up with my own concoction.
Mari is not to be seen and I hope she is better.
Moe, I happened to read Jissy’s comment and I have my view to share. I agree Indians abroad learn to be well mannered and pick up a lot of sophistication but some, I mean a few, when they come to India, they are so ill-mannered and throw their weight around with no regard for the country they grew up in. they look down on us Indians as if we were one inferior lot.

this small gesture of ours will definitely help Shabdi to overcome the pain and suffering upto a large extent. Getting sick, surgeries, mishaps etc have become a part and parcel of everybody’s life. But sometimes when we kow that so many people are showing there concern for our welbeing, a kind of belonging surfaces in our heart and at sudden we feel as if we are not an unwanted soul in this whole world. There are lot of people who can spare a minute for us whom we are yet to see even. And belive me ,this puts lot of effect on the quick and complete recovery too. Imagine how I must have felt yest’day when I got her sms that she’ll be discharged in a day and will be able to come back to iland to see those wishes herself.Rajesh Vora smsed me the exact count of msgs that we could generate-50 till 9 pm. isn’t it great. Just imagine, after ear surgeries she may not be allowed to use cell phone. hearing imparement was already there. but Now she’ll read our msgs and m sure she’ll be delighted
#592 by C V
Hi Moe, late signing in today and took some more time to come to your iland as I know you would have hit the sack:))) hope you’re having a peaceful zzzzing. no snoring I hope:)))) Oh Moe, i’ve been in a teasing mode since yesterday and i did it in my comments to a post too, so don’t mind me, ok.
I took longer to sleep last night, guess it had to do with the mid morning rest. Mari and I have been enjoying, imagining the whole works and I see you have put an open offer for pick up too. Thanks.:)Had a sumptous breakfast of kadalai kuzhambu with idlis and chutney. I prefer it with idlis more than puttu. The weather is much better today, a pleasant day in every way. See you later. Take care:)
#593 by Mahendra Mishra
Hi Moe!!
A very chilling good morning to you…

Ok, now it’s confirmed. I prefer to help Mari with the works provided I get a seat by the dahlings including yours. Enjoy the rest of your day Moe. Good nite to me and good evening to you…:)
#597 by C V
Hi Moe, the list of invite requests for Mari is increasing. I’ve reserved my seat beside sweetie pie. I suggest you make your choice too……And if you’re bringing in your daughter I’d like to have the two of them by my side. Ok? I am sure it is. Quite sleepy Moe. Enjoy your lunch, i bet you will :)))))
#598 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
I am a bit apprehensive about asking someone their whereabout. Blog is a place where people may not wish to reveal their identity. I can’t force anyone to reveal it, can I?
So, my guess about you being a Mallu was right. I am a Mallu too, born, brought up and staying in Baroda. I am more Gujju than Mallu.

I’ll come to read it late night after the work’s over bye cv marivin
#601 by C V
Oh boy, add Mari’s menu and you’re sure heading for a sixer. I’m imagining you with all that food in front of you Moe. You got me laughing loudly. But you know what. I love food too so we’ve struck a balance. :))) i had to share this with you…..and that was cute Mari’s kiddo writing blogs on Mari, won’t we enjoy it too.
#602 by Mari Vin

#603 by C V
Yes Moe, agree we feel helpless and we believe prayers can help.
I read Mari’s post too and her daughter is delightful. I simply enjoyed it. haha, all that talk of food got your digestive juices flowing…..but you can always step out and reach for one when you feel like it. take care:)
#604 by Mari Vin
moe:-) im feeeling so bad now too much of praises i am floating on clouds as it were thanks dear friend .. nostalgically i recall my papa .. .. i’m at the moment going to shakeoff my sleepiness by having a strong chaya . what do you say?!!:-)))))) you’d agreei’m sure . til now i was doing what cv asked but failed to reach lejmo .. told her too.

Hi Moe
Thanks for your comment.. Having read your comment on wine, I remember the guys (not the pro-tasters though!) sniffing the cork/bottle!
Will note down the name of white for future use

hi moe my post just an ordinary one read it :-)nice to hear you can sit quietly without getting bored:-))
#607 by C V
Moe, wanted to tell you to visit the following iland and leave your wishes for Leonard who has a post ‘Prayer’ saying his mother has been diagnosed with leukemia. He is on rediff home page. We are not connected as friends. Remember, one day, I told you I went blog reading. His was one of the blogs I enjoyed and left a message too. Thought it will really help his mom with all our prayers.

#609 by C V
Hmm now the talk of these burgers is getting to me. I particularly like one in Bangkok, the chilly chicken burger in Chester’s Grill. They are kind of small but a real treat. Two of them is a must for a half fill at least.
No Moe, except for sundays, and lunch we never plan earlier. Lunch because we buy vegetables once in three to four days. Tonight the menu is Suji uppma with some carrots, beans and peas in it with coriander chutney. There they call it cream of wheat if I remember right. Enjoy your day
#610 by sajini
After a while read my latest poem. I am just going to put up a brief one.

A very Good Morning to you Moe. Hope you had a good sleep dear friend and woke up to a lovely dawn. My day has been quite good. Rested a while this morn as I was feeling a bit tired. It’s been very hot here yesterday and today. I’m glad it’s considerably cool for Mari nowadays.
So what’s brewing along with your hot cuppa coffee this morn? Toast? I sent it out finally today to Mari and you. Have a wonderful day Moe. will come by later. Take care:)

Thanks Moe for your wonderful wishes. Hope you have a great Sunday and see you tomorrow. Take care:)
#617 by C V
Hi Moe, thanks for the cheery wishes. Suddenly a question popped up in my mind. Do they have parlours for men too, where they go in for facials, manicure, pedicure and the likes there. And do a lot of men go in for such stuff? I remember it was a kind of craze here and in Chennai a decade or more back. Curious.:)
Talk about food mixing, i do a lot of it too. A baked dish of Broccoli and cheddar cheese with lots of green chillies and some celery in it goes so well with chapathis and dosas.
You must have gone into sleep mode by now. The thought of Andhra food got me yearning for some. Love some of the Andhra dishes with that special gongura and avakka picles to go with it. I like the food in Amravathy, Chennai. Hmmm, enjoy the feast tomorrow. Hope you have a good sleep Moe and wishing you a wonderful Sunday. Take care:)

Hi Moe, visiting after reading all the messages from you and Mari. Woke up early but it isn’t so cool a morning. Done with b’fast -semiya uppma and tomato chutney. Glad you had a nice time at your friend’s place and you must be off to sleep now. The forward was meant for today Moe. Hope you have a good sleep and have a good start for a great weekend.
BTW, it is not bitter gourd, much longer and bigger. I am sure you will know once you see it. Take care:)

Hi Moe.
Have nice day!!!
#634 by C V
Moe, wishing you good nite, though a bit late and hope you came up with a good story that let her sleep like a baby. I liked your dinner combo as i love dal and okra with chapathis and those stuffed, lightly fried green chillies to bite into and a mixed mango -lime pickle. Reminds me of a small north indian restaurant here that serves these delicacies with a glass of frothy butter milk topped with jeera powder. Simply yum. I went to sleep a little late but still fresh after a good sleep. B’fast here is idlis with the same accompaniments as Mari’s. Hope you’re having a good sleep…Take care:)

HEHEHE! Looked to watch a Spongebob tonight but not on so I will watch Dexter’s Lab instead….
#636 by Hopeful One
Hey Moe! Off to bed shortly and I was just enjoying the springtime sound in New England. We live on a marsh and there are millions of these tiny frogs we call “Peepers” And at night they peep peep peep all night long. At it’s loudest it is hard to hear one another, well almost. But it will lull me off to sleep for sure. Every year it is the peepers and the red winged blackbirds we look for for tell tale signs of spring. I used to chart it to the day and boy, did they run a propmt schedule. Well I am off soon for my nightly reading, Pushkar sent me his Popcorn series so I don’t miss out on them….Have a good sleep and write something soon.
#637 by Hopeful One
We have Baja Fresh here too and let me tell you, I can make it better!
#638 by Hopeful One
Hi Moe! Just finished a long day at work and with Husband out of town tonight I don’t aim on cooking. So it will be Pizza for the kids and Chicken Kebab on Greek Salad for me. Delivered. Going to be out all day tomorrow too. It was sunny here today so I guess we will be getting those clouds tomorrow or for sure on friday as it is supposed to rain then. You can give me the weather forecast a day or two in advance just by walking outside
I am on my feet all day taking care of cancer patients so it feels good to finally sit with my feet up. I am so tired, that kind of tired that makes you sleep real well and with the cool nights and the windows open it will be nice. Have a nice , peaceful evening!
#639 by Hopeful One
Thanks Moe. I still need to write so your kind heartedness is where I turn. Going to work today and that will keep my mind and hands busy. I really love my work. More on that later. Wish I had a desire for eggs this morning because the local farm gave us some eggs yesterday as my son was doing work there. I saw an article on the life of an egg making its’ way to the market in America, and the cartons are coded, and believe me , there is no such thing as a fresh egg unless you go to the farm. Keep that in mind. Have a good, no have a GREAT DAY! I am sure you will eat well too !
#640 by C V
A very good morning to you Moe. Hope you had a great start to your day. The day has been good and I seemed to have spent more time at the comp today than necessary. it’s horrible outside because so many tall buildings are coming up, one on the left, one on the right and work has started in a plot in front too.The noise and cement dust is on the rise. by the end of the day theres a film on the leaves of the plants and the flooring. Unable to keep the windows open too. Wishing you a wonderful day. Take care:)
#641 by Hopeful One
Thanks for you kind words.
#642 by Hopeful One
Good Morning Moe! Woke up well rested today and feeling well. Beautiful spring day again……Azaleas and Magnolias and cherry blossoms all in bloom. Nice to see our Japanese Maple survived the winter and is budding nice green leaves too. Songbirds returning in flocks. So yes, tis a good day! Have a nice one.

Hey Moe! Hope you don’t mind me stopping by to wish you a good night. Chicken on the grill tonight and corn on the cob which I am sure was brought in from the deep south. We do not harvest our corn here until august!!!!! We have a short 8 weeks of summer. BTW I grew up near enough to DC, humid down there. Used to spend much time on the Chesapeake Bay. Do you like Blue Crabs? With Old Bay seasoning they are great! Love them! Too bad they are all brought in from Louisiana these days! Sleep well. Bye….

I am just taking LOA to stay out of everyone else’s Tangled Web of problems. All I want to do is talk of food and flowers
Live a simple life like the simple gal I am. I want no trouble so I am stepping out. Will plant my flowers this afternoon, go for a good long hard run, and enjoy the sunset tonight with a glass of fine wine. And I will SMILE 
#655 by C V
Hi Moe, I am just coming from there, it was a wonderful post and i enjoyed your comment too. So you’d like me to take a vacation, thanks for being so thoughtful.:) Now, it’s become a habit to think of both of you when we’re having food and my hubs is amused when I tell him of our food exchanges.
I think Mari really needs a good vacation to beat the heat. hubs told me too of the tough time he had there. I see mari spinning off some of my own favorites here though I don’t know what Kuutan chorru is. Take care Moe:)

Hi Moe, you must have skipped your way into dreamland by now. Nice morning after a good sleep and hmm thanks for eating our share too, no wonder it weighed a bit more and anyway it must have been a load of those goody veggies, so no harm.:)
I am glad you read Mari’s post, good that she was determined to overcome it to a large extent. As to my comment, I felt she deserved it and thanks.:)
BTW, i loved what Mari has said about our friendship, nutritious and healthy, how appropriate, coming to think of it.
Over to Mari now and shall drop by later in the day. Wishing you a good night’s sleep. Take care:)

Hi Moe, yes, it is indeed called the `kettukuthira’! and then the `kaala’! i think the `kaala’ calls for more strength - and `kallu’ to go with it! i am so gald, sitting so far away in Dulles, you could relate to the `makkiri piduthakkaran’ with the petromax and the gunny sack

Harley girl….NEVER! Anyway, My hubby spent quite a few of his growing up years in Bethesda. So may be he would know where to get that paella. Although i know he mentions a place in Baltimore called Tio Pepes.
Well you are winding down from your wiiiiiiindy day! We bought more flowers today but they warned us…..noooo…..don’t plant, there will be a frost tonight! GOD!
Waiting for another humourous story of your, and i will flip thru my Rare Words (hahaha) book tomorrow.

Almost got my license years ago but that is a long story to share later. Tis the season. We were going to do a paella on the grill tonight but time got behind us so it was pasta and pesto with grilled seafood instead.

Hi Moe, we were wondering whether you’d come on line and I was sure you would. Am glad you did. Mari has a wonderful post and she was so sweet to add my name up there in the source of inspiration. I am sure she’d be happy to hear from you as she was missing us and I too did.
I really would like to vote for a pizza along with your kiddos, hehe, now, you will think I’m impossible.:) Have a wonderful day Moe and most importantly think of us when you have a go at those juicy bbq. I for one will miss it big time. Thanks for your wishes and take care:)
#671 by C V
Hi Moe, wishing you a very good morning and hope you woke up to a lovely day. The weather’s been pretty good here but didn’t feel like being out for long.
You must be through with your dosa session. Thanks for your wonderful comments Moe and as you said, it’s only with that bit of mischief one can enjoy school days more. I managed to be so in college too.
So what time do you plan on getting your bbq? noon or evening? Have a great day Moe and will drop in later. Take care and warm rgds:)

I was enjoying that same glass of fine wine myself last night. However, the coffee is waking me up this am. Get the Barbecue Up and running? We use our outdoor grill year round so it never gets a break. It’s a poor simulation of a tandoor but it works for me. It is a beautiful day here so yardwork it will be. Hope you’re having a restful weekend friend…

hi
came to thank u for puuting my thoughts so wel in poetic words. U sais it !!!! I read the GB comments too..bad manners?? well…i am ears and eyes here. Loved your interaction. You seem to be a warm person

Hi Moe, so you’re back after dinner and that was quite a contrast, biriyani to lemon rice. But there are days when I suddenly feel like eating lemon rice and then it seems like heavenly food.:) Food for long travel, I prefer Tamarind rice. Thanks Moe for the marinade ingredients. That really sounds yummy. I will try this out as I go for red chillies for the bbq.
I had put up a post last evening Moe. Do read it when you find time.
I think it’s good for Mari to mention that you inspired her post Moe, as though the writing is hers, the idea came from what you had shared with her, right. Thanks for the compliments to my writing, coming from you, I am truly honored. I am sure that in itself be a compliment to you and your own skills
Have a good sleep and take care:)
#676 by C V
Hello Moe, you must be at your friend’s for dinner, hope you are having a good time. Woke up quite early to see hubby off.
I love barbeques, still remember the chicken wing bbqs I had at a Holiday inn, some place. Do you use your own marinade or the bbq sauces that one gets there? We usually come up with our own marinade and my sis gave me a delicious simple recipe for corn- lime juice, chilli powder, salt mixed in a little butter. Microwave the cobs to soften the corn, smear the paste and grill.
I’d like to know how you do it.
Mari seems to have been awake till midnight, hope she had a good sleep as she said she’s busy with her guests today.
Have a good peaceful sleep Moe and hope to see you waking up to a bright Sunday. take care:)

Good Morning Moe, woke up to a pleasant weather and it’s been a nice day generally. My husband’s at home today and we were spending time discussing a few issues as he is leaving out of town tomorrow morning. Good you took longer to wake up as you were up longer than usual.
Having shrimp curry with some jeera rice as he won’t be home for non-veg tomorrow.
I posted some messages this morning Moe and I did go over around noon time when I came online but thought she may not be online and didn’t message. I’ll go try and let you know.
Regarding movies, there’s one ‘Pachaikizhi Muthucharam’ which you may like. I liked it. You have a great week-end and enjoy your day and your dinner at your friend’s place and that’s so nice of you to tell us you’ll think of us at dinner time.:) Take care

Sunrise is pretty pink this morning!
#686 by Hopeful One
Good Morning! I am up with the first rays of the sun today. Yes, we did our family outing meal too, we had Thai…..yum……., but i usually prefer a diet of dhal, palak paneer, chana masala, naan and raita.
Smiling today! You too!
Will be out all day today being less productive. Have a great weekend and don’t worry about those peonies, they are pretty easy to grow and have beautiful large blooms. I am planting more this spring. Mostly pink.
Don’t forget to put wire rings around them to keep them upright because the blooms are quite heavy and will make them droop. YOu’ll seeewhat I mean if you don’t already know.

#690 by C V
Thanks Moe, a late dinner for us tonite and enjoy your lunch and the rest of your day. I think you’ll get to see Mari first as she usually gets on the net early and I do much later.. Take care:)
#691 by theseus indubai
Srry about your friend. I do hope that he is not the same one as mine. Anyway, keep smiling.
#692 by C V
I can still picture the scene - U on the ground with the guy.
Moe, read the above sentence with no connection to your post. It got me into fits of laughter. Imagine the scene when someone who hasn’t read your post, reads the line……:)))) Don’t worry, I just wanted to enjoy the lighter side of it with you. Take care
#693 by C V
I agree with you Moe, she seems to have packed her bags.:)
I’ve been to Kodai, it’s a beautiful place, some breath taking spots and comparatively less inhabited than Ooty but what I don’t like is the winding drive up, it’s quite a distance, I think it will take about 21/2 hrs from the foot-hills.
Last year around September (I think), made for very spectacular sight, I believe, with the Kurinji flowers in blossom and this happens once in 12 years. I only saw the pictures in the newspapers. Have you been to Munnar, Moe?
Having chicken gravy with rotis after a long time today. So do you have breakfast too or just lunch and dinner. I was curious because you leave home so early.
#694 by C V
Hi Moe, enjoying lovely weather here, it’s cooled down a lot, breezy and had a good shower. Mari is not to be seen, I guess she must be busy as I haven’t heard from her. Hope your day is going good and take care:)
#695 by C V
Hi Moe, hope you had a good night’s sleep as it’s 1.30pm and must be 4.30am for you, which means you must be awake by now. A very Good Morning to you!
Thanks for your wonderful wishes.
I took some time coming to your iland today though I thought about you much earlier. A good start to the day and breezing through it. Oh, I loved what Mari shared with us and I took some time writing a long mail to her.
I am glad I have found wonderful people like you and Mari on iland. Been doing some introspection and took some time with that. We had the signs of heavy rains, yesterday evening but all we got was a drizzle which had intensified the heat. But it’s not that hot today.
Have a great day Moe and will drop in when you’re online. Take care:-)
#696 by Hopeful One
Yessssss, I smiled today, lots. But I did have that teary moment over my lost friend. Thanks for your kind words. I came running back to delete that post but you had already commented. So I left it. Nighty Night!

#699 by Mari Vin
hi moe i began writing and found time slipped by .you are moving homeward?
#700 by C V
One factor I like US for, the variety of food one can get there, though fast food is a health deteriorative but I believe there’s no harm in indulging once in a way and the flexibility is you can get the best in some places through steamed veggies and the likes. But one thing i found is no on uses oil to the extent our Indian restaurants do. I don’t know if I am wrong….and do correct me if i am.. Good night to me and A Great evening to you…:)
#701 by Mari Vin
yeah moe thot of you’ll both while …thanks anyway

Thanks Moe, dreaming of food? :)) no thanks, but coming to think of it, it is the safest and for you, as far as it is not rfd.beans -Oh Moe, that’s got me laughing a lot. No, I’ll never wish you that my friend but the thought tickled me. If I’m awake longer I may still catch up so I better leave it open than calling it a day…enjoy your day:)

#706 by C V
I came to read Mari’s message and yes, she’s talking about the St.Gobain glass advt. Generally this has left all of us laughing and enjoying it. Good for that.:-) i escaped because my hand came in touch with the glass first and that was quite a hit. We don’t tend to notice when we’re fast and that explains the greater impact. take care.:)
#707 by Hopeful One
Good Morning To You! Try to be productive today, ok?

#709 by C V
Thank you so much for considering us good friends Moe and I wish to tell you and Mari the same. And thank you so much for being such a wonderful friend.:-)
#710 by C V
Moe, trying to walk through glass has happened to me too, haha, and I felt so dumb that i didn’t have the guts to see if anyone around noticed me. So my friend I’m sure there are lots of them like us having their turns..:)).
Talking of steps, reminded me of an incident when I was 7 or 8. I used to love sliding down the hand rail of the stairs and whenever my mom caught me, she used to warn me and I never paid heed.
One evening I took the rail down again as one of our relatives had come and at about five feet from ground level, I missed by balance and fell over backwards and my head neatly hit the sewing machine and I fainted. Hearing the thud, all of them rushed to the spot and when I came around I was in my bed. No scan done but the doc said I was ok and in spite of my temptation to do it again, I never really did. Felt like sharing it with you.
#711 by C V
Moe, welcome to the city of best masala dosas. This is where I am put up. The quality is gone now, they have changed it and some days if we are lucky we can still get good quality. I am surprised you’ve been here as well.:)
#712 by C V
A very Good morning Moe, I was thinking I must message you first today, by then got occupied with work. Oh, that was sad but you didn’t have any injury, thank God for that. I felt like wishing you with a little more than just the usual and I feel bad now. yeah, it’s really funny as I don’t get awful dreams but i just put it behind me. My day has been pretty good Moe and i hope you have a wonderful day. Mentioning about the refried beans, now, I’d like to have a go at it with some enchiladas. i’ve been quite successful, convincing some people to like what they dislike, may be it will happen in your case as well,hehe. Our dear Mari is just her humble self and she doesn’t realize how many things we can learn from her, don’t you think? Take care and enjoy your day.
#713 by Mari Vin
yehMoe what happened you missed a step orsomething ?you are fine no? take care ..
as regards the sounds you hear quite frigtening .. … little sounds do keep me awake … i guess fears as cv said are very many ..must not give in to it
#714 by Mari Vin

but now sea breeze has set in ..
regd heat i don’t know if you’ve noticed on recent post in the iland orissa is experiencing 43deg.. some people have died it says … in some parts it has touched 50 deg. cel . my gosh it must be terrible is it not !!
night supper today usually tiffen . nice masala dosais moe ..you like them?you and cv seem to talk about east west dishes and she is really very good in cooking them too .. and more so both of ypu know many things .. yeh interesting for me to ead both yourdiscussions but i am sa simpleton moe .. know nothing beyond my boundaries ..

#716 by Mari Vin
Hi Moe here’s my new post?frlyregds marivin shall reply to your gb to’morrow my eyes are drooping ….
#717 by C V
Hi, wanted to clear a doubt- is it refried beans that they serve in tex-mex food?
#718 by Mari Vin
why moe no new post?
#719 by C V
Hello Moe, the problem is choosing the speciality. You ask me and my brain gets flooded,hehe. just kidding. I’ve spent a long time researching on one dish and that is Biryani and i am more than satisfied with the end results. And the other is my Thai Kao Pad Kai with basil. (finely diced chicken with basil and tossed with steamed rice). A couple in the dessert section- Chocolate Souffle and Date and Walnut Cake but what I’ve managed to perfect is the softest Idlis, to be very honest I’ve never eaten softer ones anywhere else.
I’d like to know what your speciality is and I believe some guys can turn out delicious dishes.
I can relate to that when one spends so much time within four walls and time goes by that even the weather goes by. it’s extremely hot here and that the pipe water noon time is almost boiling hot. Had a few good showers three weeks back. Take care Moe. I am yet to discuss Mari’s talents in the cuisine section.
#720 by Mari Vin
ouch..oh oh .. now what a graceful explanation to ”’good commenting” here you go again:-)..yeah i agree with you squarely .we do feel good from the comments .. it’s help us look at us more positively ..
shall send it across…
catch the aroma .. quite humbly I can say say I am a good cook ..briyani yes my speciality tho’ my husband says you shld never say its for others to say
moe i’m drinking pots of water exaggeration tho’ so thirsty it is now act. lemon juices home made i’m gulpig every now and then … so unbearable is the heat already ..imagine the days to come have a nice day moe thanks friend for all the encouraging remarks that have lightened my day .
bye tc frly regds marivin..
#721 by C V
Oooh, more compliments as I can see. Good. I wasn’t very surprised with your level-headed acknowledgment, as that makes you the person you are.:-)
I’m glad you’re enjoying the weather. No cooking bashes my side, Mari did, with her Sunday biryani. Read she’s a good cook too.
Take care Moe and I’ll catch up sometime later.:)
#722 by Mari Vin
hiiiii moe my day sailed by somewhat ..ah by the way I put it down to the heat ..
youare right mornings nice and sea breeze sets in and around three and then it’s cool …
As CV says sometimes ido read your comments in gb can’t help looking and i do enjoy the way you mes’s are tinged with matter and the manner you put it more nicer ..i enjoy reading them
thanks moe for saying that you have both opt. and pes. mixed in you
tho’ you sound so sure of your self which made me think so ..hope your day goes well take care bye frly regds marivin

So hope your waking up to a new morn makes it extra special with what I have for you.Take care and have a Great day!

Came across some interesting posts and have been reading, commenting and reading. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday as well. Take care.

Read one of your GB messages to someone and I too hate racism. I actually love cultural diversity and embrace anyone who is a decent human being. I try to teach my children never to be critical about someone regarding something they have no control over, ie. race, retardation, debilitating injuries or birth defects. These are all still very REAL people. It is the jerks out there that need to be ignored, but those are the lower ones.
#739 by C V
Good Morning Moe! i didn’t receive any alert for your guest book entry and happened to see it only now. Thank you so much for your concern Moe and it’s been a great day. spent the whole afternoon joking and laughing with two of my sisters. Wish you a great day!
Thanks for sharing so much on the Willow, which I happen to love too. I love trees and the willow is one of my favourites. Yes, Moe, I know it’s called the Weeping Willow and I picked up the whispering willow, which was the name of a house in Kodaikanal, decades back and I loved the sound of it. I specially love to see it by a water body that completes the picture for me. One gets really attached to plants and it must have caused some sadness, when you moved. Good that you get to see her growing and enjoying the beauty to this day.
It’s very strange Moe, but I noticed that from afternoon i have not received any alerts from rediff and I wonder why. Take care and enjoy your day:)

hi moe good morning ! nice to have heard from you ..
Especially your shopping spree was a fabulous account !
You should take your wife with you.

purchasing what should be is it not?
By the way nice narration .

You’d make good novelist I tell you
I gather you’ve forgotten

you know, i had wanted to comment on your besant nagar post when i read it. you mention incidents by the beach, but i don’t recall this. the only gang around at the time was kumar & co, all of them from guru nanak college with one guy from mcc and one from loyola. they were hell raisers, played frisbee like the devil, knew all the chicks that were there including jayashri from catering college who went on to become an actress, she lived in the pre-fab flats…
don’t recall any other gang those days, not on culvert, not on the schmidt memorial, nothing… there was a black beena, right?
and about the name chennai.. it was always chennai in tamil, madras was only for the english-speaking, right?

#820 by Jissy Thomas
Hey Moe,
When one doesn’t have the knowledge about something then it’s easy to form negative ideas … The teacher who told me not to say ‘Elephant headed God’ was a Christian … I am sure all she must have heard is Ganesh or Ganapati … But she would not have known that Ganesh is known by so many other namesb like ‘Gajaanan’, ‘Lambodara’, ‘Vinayaka’, ‘Ekdanta’ etc… If I have to explain the meaning of ‘Lambodara’ in English, I would obviously say ‘big bellied’ but if a person does not know the meaning of that word, he/she would be shocked with such an explanation.
That’s why I feel that as a teacher, one should be aware of finer nuances of all religions … And all the teachers should be able to show respect to everybody else … But then you know how biased people are when it comes to religious matters … That’s what hurts me the most … What kind of education will we be able to give to our children when we have this kind of attitude?
