Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

The fragrance of ignorance

The big question is, to my mind at least, does camphor know of donkeys? Is camphor aware of the smell of a donkey.

Hyderabad, Telengana and Andhra Pradesh

Dear people of Andhra. Fear not. Let Telengana be ruled from Hyderabad. As the truest Madras boy of them all, I offer to share my city with you. Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh shall once more be united under Madras.

In which Chandrachoodan is ready to be married off

I made Lemon rice for lunch today. Three or so days ago, it was Carrot saadham and Velirikkai pachadi. I have already shown you how I make soup and stuff, and can whip out a good Rasam any day. I cannot sing, but appreciate good music. I am calm, humble, and homely.
In other words, I am the perfect middle-class housewife material. All prospective grooms, pliss to come ponnu paathufy.

On the other hand, to take this post firmly into androgynous waters, I am a Real Man TM. I ironed my own shirt for the first time since coming to Bristol. (Because till y’day, I didn’t posses an iron, and academia doesn’t appreciate knife-edged creases on your shirts as much as they look for it in your 5000 word essay.) But coming back to the point, I ironed my own shirt, and a few trousers and a boxer, all alone in true RealMan fashion.

That gives me three career paths to explore if the aforementioned 5000 word essay (and its brothers and uncles and bastard sons) all go up in flames. Housewife. Small time cook. Roadside isthiri man.

To the visitor from Brampton, Ontario

Hello!

Much, much, much many thanks. 27 page views over 30 minutes? Wow! Even I don’t spend that much time on my blog.

Presenting, Chandrachoodan

Word to the wise. If you have an important presentation tomorrow, and you don’t yet know what you are going to talk about, don’t sleep. Stay up till 7 AM, upload photos to flickr or manically facebook.

On the other hand, if you have a VERY IMPORTANT presentation tomorrow, and you don’t yet know what you are going to talk about, go to sleep NOW. Wake up half an hour before you need to present, shower and get to class.
