    Just sleeping... Inspite of the fact that it is September, Chennai is witnessing unusually high temperatures to venture out. With other places around having continous downpour or at least adoring luke warm climate, Chennai is like a hot oven. Oh Well! We do have a Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations coming up on Sunday and so a bit of eatables like Kozhukkattai (Can we translate this as 'Stuff Sweet Burger' or something like that? Tamil CPians: Am I right in translating?

    Yes Deepak. you are right. We can call it as "Sweet Stuff Burger". I doubt, can't we call it as "Sweet Idli". Since, both of them are using same logic. - Harikaran.S Chennai

      Hari, You are absolutely right. There are two flavors of 'Kozhukkattai'. One is of salty flavored and the other one is sweetened. :) :) It is a custom that both has to be prepared for the Lord during this day. Is'nt it? Though some people may not be liking, because of customs and hereditary religious practices, at least a sample has to be prepared on this day of Ganesh Chathurti.

          What are you doing this weekend? :) I'm on production support. :| I will be hoping nothing goes wrong in the production servers halfway around the globe. I'm also running a slight fever with a bad cold, which only makes it worse. X| Not to mention my mother called me this morning, saying my grandfather, back in my hometown, is not doing too well. :( All in all, it's not a very bright weekend.

          Cheers, Vikram.

          I'll probably be indulging in virtual reality (pc gaming). Real life is too hard to handle.

              Deepak: The pure translation for "Kozhukkattai" is not "Sweet Idli" or "Sweet Stuffed Burger". It is "Bubbly wood". If the flavour is sweet then.. aahaa.. "Naan appadiyae saapiduven" :) Gardener46 http://potatoes-and-tomatoes.blogspot.com

                      Going on a march[^] to protest about the proposed closure of a local hospital. They're expecting 20-30,000 people so hopefully that'll make them sit up and take notice!

                            Well South Indian restaurants don't seem to be as common as North Indian style. But I did really enjoy the south-style that I had once. I don't know how authentic the various restaurants are.. but favourites would have to be lamb madras, korma, butter chicken. But I'm no expert (yet :))

                                  Hope both you and your grandfather get to feeling better. I've got 2 birthday dinners this weekend. Tonight I'm celebrating my friend and his son's birthday, though neither birthday is today. And tomorrow I'm going out with some neighbors to celebrate another b-day. I'm looking forward to playing with my new GPS unit tomorrow and doing some geocaching. Then Sunday, I'll be relaxing, cleaning up the house, catching up on some reading and maybe having a pint with a friend of mine.

                                    If all goes to plan; relax on the beach, game of squash, pick the best holiday shots and get them printed, go to an Indian restaurant, watch basketball championship, and if I have time, some programming ;)

                                      What are you doing this weekend? :) I'm on production support. :| I will be hoping nothing goes wrong in the production servers halfway around the globe. I'm also running a slight fever with a bad cold, which only makes it worse. X| Not to mention my mother called me this morning, saying my grandfather, back in my hometown, is not doing too well. :( All in all, it's not a very bright weekend.

                                      Cheers, Vikram.

                                        Just sleeping... Inspite of the fact that it is September, Chennai is witnessing unusually high temperatures to venture out. With other places around having continous downpour or at least adoring luke warm climate, Chennai is like a hot oven. Oh Well! We do have a Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations coming up on Sunday and so a bit of eatables like Kozhukkattai (Can we translate this as 'Stuff Sweet Burger' or something like that? Tamil CPians: Am I right in translating?

                                          Two remarks: 1- The only allowed marquee in a sig is :jig::beer: otherwise it is hard to the eye. 2- I personaly find your red bold color in your pseudo rather rude. It catches the eye, but on the negative way. :suss: No offense meant, just my 2cts :)
