From masala dosa to cutting chai....

Did i mention how crazy the past few days have been? I have a feeling this enrty is gonna sound more like a travelogue than the signature randomization I tend to end up with but I'll try!:D

Ok, lets start at the beginning. The 3rd of Jan - the last day of my winter break. For me, the holiday season literally ended on a holy note - with a visit to Akshardham in Delhi- from stunning sculptures, sound and light exhibitions, a boat ride through the history of India (this was my fave part!:D) to a simply delightful meal at the food court - it was literally, as they call it, a divine experience and a feast for the senses! A walk through the whole complex in semi-rainy, semi-foggy, near-zzero conditions(I exagerate but it was definitely 6 degrees C if not lower!)was best followed by a near-perfect masala dosa - with the best sambar I have had the north of Maharashtra! Actually, Bombay is where I think they make the best sambar (I know that sounds blasphemous to any true-blue Tam but i like it best here!) but that's digressing..

The fourth of Jan saw me back in Mumbai - my adopted city. And the temperature difference came as a shock to say the least. The week went by in a whirl and suddenly there was the weekend - a nice late night chat girly chat session was topped only by a brunch get-together with some friends - some old, some new...That I guess is the circle of life, U may think u have moved away but old friends have a habit of just popping right back in your life. Good for me, I love yapping;-)))

Btw, Sherlock Holmes is a must watch - for a riveting feel of how the detective could have been - its more sinister, morbid and stylized take than I could have imagined any of the original stories to have been had any of those been adapted! Though nobody can beat Doyle at his own game, ever, the film is an engaging watch on its own steam:-)

Ok am tired now, sprained my ankle this morning at Kanheri caves, but more on that later..cutting chai abhi baaki hai mere dost:D
