  • Phew ...

    Oh, the world of computing! I have not visited Xanga and not posted anything here for sometime....hey I was busy with "other" things in life....anybody has a problem with that? Today, I clicked on a link which was supposed to lead to my Xanga homepage and shoot...I got that dreaded "Page not found" message. I am a Life Member (or is it called Premium Member?) So I got annoyed and started investigating if Xanga has gone belly-up. Soon I discovered Xanga is doing some major overhauling or upgrading to the site. I think they call it Xanga 2.0. I tried to log in and test if my previous postings still exist here. Looks like they do but I am not quite sure yet. I have to do some more testing and find out what my homepage's correct URL will be. Meanwhile, I am making a new posting to get the look and feel of the new "Add New Post". They already flashed a message on my face saying the new "Add Media" has changed also. So I am going to upload a photo right now and check it out first hand!

  • Eating Indian (in India)

    You might have eaten Indian in an Indian restaurant in your own country (not India). But eating Indian in India might be an entirely different experience. Do you know why Indians generally eat with their fingers? Do you know why Indians frown when someone eats with his/her left hand? Do you know, Indian restaurants serve a "finger bowl" to cleanse one's fingers after eating? Do you know what exactly is a "Punjabi Dhaba"? Do you know what is a "Thali" and why it is better to order a vegetarian or non-vegetarian "Thali" by the first-timers in India? Is it wise to order a plate of "Samosas" as appetizers? Should you eat the "Saunf" that is served free after each meal in an Indian restaurant? What exactly is "Dal" or "Dhal" and why is it good for you?

    To get answers to all these and to get practical tips for visiting India for the first time, you are encouraged to read Eating Indian (in India). The page is loaded with practical information and tips for first-timers in India.

    Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I shall gladly answer all your questions.

  • Cheapest Car of the World

    Thanks to Mr. Jay Leno for this wonderful and entertaining video review of the Tata Nano.

    Raise your eyebrows if you want, but along with Mr. Jay Leno I will give this car two thumbs up.
