Indian Food at its best

This is a great festive season and all Indians are busy gorging on the food which they love. It all starts at Ganesh Chaturthi where we start the feast with Modaks ( momos with sweet coconut filing .. for those who are non marathis here...) and the feast goes on after that .. Ramzan is next ... though I am not a muslim but I love the muslim food and love the entire range of goodies available during ramzan. Next on the agenda is Dusara and Diwali and we suspend all our dieting plans away in closet for this period. I am amazed at the diversity we have when it comes to festival food. We did a pot luck in office and people turned out with 35 different dishes . They vary from Puran Polis to Dhansak and we could not walk after sampling a bit from all 35 dishes.
The food is the most sensory appealing thing on the earth. Sight , Smell , Feel and Taste , all at its best . I wish only my modaks could sing along ... eat me , eat me

here is a sample of the great Indian food

Web 2.0 Parody logos

Web 2.0 is synonymous with the new way of thinking how applications are delivered to a user through a cloud. What will happen if the Classic Brick and mortar companies decide to embrace the Web 2.0 thinking , at least on their logos. I have found this gem floating on the web. Very neat one.

Puneri Patya ( Notice Boards)

This is very unique about the Punekars. They have defined an attitude which is sometimes ridiculed by all Non Punekars .. However if we think through some of these gems , it is really a thought through reaction of a historical incidence. has anybody seen a similar unique characteristics in any other city in the World?

Here is a website which has captured some of the gems and invite contributions

Jana Gana Man

How can I forget the wonderful National Anthem " Jana gana man" . We all remember it by heart and you swell with pride when it is played at any Large meetings , outdoors and also in foreign land. I can imagine the feelings of any Indian sportsman who wins a GOLD MEDAL and then listens to " Jana Gana Man" when the Indian tri colour is raised. That is a feeling each Indian wants in his life time.


Unfortunatly , India has failed to use this wonderful master piece to ignite a flame of passion amongst Indians. few bars of music and few wonderful words can do a magic. Bharatbala Productions and A R Rahman have made some wonderful attempts to reach the National Anthem to masses in a different way. I love this one and so do my 3 year old one.....

I also found one more interesting Video on Incredible India on Youtube. Not able to include it here due to its large size but sharing the link.
