I had serious intentions when I went hunting for older pics of
mine, ones where I was comparatively fitter (read slimmer). I just wanted some inspiration to burn my blubber. Instead, I took an emotional trip down the memory lane.
These pictures were no more than seven years old and yet I couldn't but ponder over the multitude of changes 7 puny years brought about in my life...career change to status change to change of residence to change of attitude towards life and death...
Ordinarily, a family pic taken on one of the Eids would just elicit a smile. Now I smile, but I also sigh.
Melancholy takes the place of delight when I see a picture of us friends having a good time at the Hyatt Regency. A sense of homesickness (Sigh!)
On the plus side, today I made a black bean dip that reminded me of Foul Mudammas, a staple Friday morning dish in the Kannathpady household!

Tennis's Nemeses
The Australian Open Men's finals was epic! It was a pleasure to see Djokovic emerge as the winner.
I've never been a fan of Nadal-style tennis - the huffing, puffing and running all over the court. I've never found that scuttling enjoyable. Apart from the playing style, I have this deep-seated bias against the said player. Nadal is Federer's nemesis. I remembering calling Nadal a nemesis way back in 2005, long before I read it in the papers!
In the same note, I utterly dislike Amanda Coetzer because I've maintained that she was Steffi Graf's nemesis. Ah, the Golden days of Women's tennis :)

Going Great Guns
New blog. Check.
Fresh ideas. Check.
High energy. Check.
Yup, I’m finally all set to launch my new blog. Some eat to live; others live to eat. I belong to the second category. On days when I live to eat, I'll share my thoughts about food. On the occasional days when I eat only to live, I'll give you plenty of food for thought.
Until next time, some food for thought.
Recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog wouldn't eat.
