“South Indian food, people and culture are inexorably linked to a ubiquitous dish as in idli and sambhar, sambhar and rice and so on. Each state in the South prepares it with a typical variation, adapted to its taste and environment.

The genesis of this dish has an interesting tale linked to it. The Marathas were ruling Tanjore. King Sambhaji was a great cook (the male clan members to note) and very fond of his amti with a handful of the tart kokum thrown in. In a particular season the kokum that was imported from the Maratha homeland did not reach the bare larder of the king's kitchen. Sambhaji was cooking and the minions were shivering in their dhothis to tell him that his favourite dish could not be made that day. A smart Vidushak, who had been elected sous chef for the day, decided to solve the problem. He whispered in the king's ears that the locals used very little tamarind pulp to gain a better sourness to the curry and that Sambhaji should experiment with this variation. Voila, the dish with the tuvar dal, vegetables, spices and the tamarind pulp was cooked and served by the king to his coterie. The court declared the dish an outstanding preparation (they had no choice with the king as Chef) and thus was born Sambhaji's amti that in time became sambhar.”

Govind: A person with a dream of becoming most successful businessman and a mathematics genius.

Ish: A cricket freak; school dropout and who could not stay longer at the military. He is disliked by his parents and considered to be fit for nothing by his father.

Omi: The son of a Hindu priest, always relies on his friends, Govind and Ish, for their opinions.

Mistake 1: Every person born dreams of being successful professional in his life. Even as a student, we dream of aiming high in education. The hero of the story, Govind, also wants to be a successful businessman and invests Rs One lakh for a shop in a newly built mall which is ruined by the Gujarat earthquake in 2001.

Mistake 2: He tutors Ish's younger sister Vidya reluctantly and falls in love with her.

Mistake 3: Ish is fond of young to-be-cricketer, Ali, who wrist was terribly wounded during the communal riots. Though, Govind saved the boy's life, his right hand wrist was hurt.

Why would anyone mail Chetan that he is going to end his life? Why wouldn't Govind instead maintain a personal diary and vent out his frustrations?

As an investor, who does not lose money, be it stock market or real estate. Profit or loss is the part of business. When Govind paid one lakh advance for the shop in the mall, didn't the owner of the mall have insurance???

During the year 2000-02, cell phones were hardly in use. Even incoming calls on mobiles were charged heavily. Pagers were widely in use. The exchange of sms between Vidya and Govind seems weird.

Ali is provided "free" maths tuitions and cricket couching as well. The trio sponsor Ali's visit to Goa and Australia to exhibit his skills with their expenses. Is that so easy to spend such huge amount on someone just because he is good at scoring sixes???

If a close friend stops talking, we may feel bad. But not that low that we decide to kill ourselves for such stupid reason.

With respect to vocabulary, you hardly find any good ones.

A complete cooked up story.

Chocoholics have a justified reason to savour their favourite sweet - a new study has
found that a synthetic chemical based on a compound found in cocoa beans slows growth and accelerates destruction of human tumors.

"We have all heard that eating chocolate is good for you; this study suggests one reason why that might be true," says the study's lead author Min Kim, Ph.D, a research scientist in the Department of Oncology at Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

I have been a victim of frequent throat infection since my childhood. When I asked the doctor to suggest me a remedy for this, he adviced me to exercise regularly to stay fit and healthy.

Recently, I suffered severe ear and throat infection due to the weather change and I had to visit him for medicines. Before leaving the clinic, this is the conversation between the doctor and me.

Me: I have been skipping a lot, these days.

He: You should not skip.

Me: But its too good for health. It is one of the best methods to lose weight :) (I told with a smile)

He: Nope. It isn't. Many people think it is good to skip and lose weight. In turn, you tend to gain more fat if you skip frequently.

Me: (Puzzled :-|) Doctor, I do sweat a lot. I might have lost around two kilos, atleast.

He: That's good. But, I isn't good to skip.

Me: (Awestuck....????) I do drink a lot of water after skipping.

He: That is too bad. You shouldn't be doing that!

Me: I just do 200 skips daily for 20 minutes. I warm up for 10 mins before rope skipping. Later, I relax for 10 mins after I skip :)

He: I thought you were speaking of "meals skipping." (Now relaxed and smiled)

Me: Oh.. No. I was talking of "rope skipping."

He: It is good to rope skip. You should continue with it. (With a sigh of relief.)
