Can Once In A Lifetime Happen Twice?

When Love Feels Like Magic, It's called Destiny. When Destiny Has A Sense of Humor, It's Called Serendipity.

Watch the movie "Serendipity" and you will remember me for life!

It takes two to tango

Another bright sunny Monday at Pleasanton. But there was something special , it was not a nornmal sad first working day of the week. It was a holiday thanks to the good work done by Martin Luther King Jr.

So i decided to celeberate this great day for the spirit of america by treating myself to something i have come to love and america loves dearly "StarBucks Coffe" . I got out of my suite and started a joyful walk towards the "StarBucks Coffe" outlet. Bright but mild sunshine was a perfect cover , with each step the joy was increasing.Relaxed looking people drove past in their cars. America never stops driving, there is always a plentiful gas guzzlers on the road holiday or workday, america keeps rolling and rolling

Walk ended soon as i reached my destination. As i entered the through the gates , the aroma of coffe filled my sense with refreshing moments.There is something about this place always attracts me.

Now the big question is what should i order. The choices are plenty Espressos, Fraps, Capuccinos and on and on...I have resolved to try each and every flavor ... So today there was this special item "Cinnamon Dolce Latte" quite exotic as the name goes by. Excited , the name i asked for. The lady at the counter was as pleasing as the place:-)

Dear, Starbucks is not just about coffe, but also about the great music they play . There was this beautifull album playing which had good measure of guitar. Though i could not figure out the singer or the band but i enjoyed listening to say the least. I must admit my knowledge of western music is bit flimsy, though i enjoy mainstream pop , r&b and country.

Coffe and Music, to savor. I soaked myself in an aroma and the tunes. The dyanmics between the two was perfect.

It takes two to Tango!

All dressed up and nowhere to go

It's a flight i can't forget.

After being being ushered into the lufthasnsa boeing 757 for San francisco at Frankfurt,the wait for take-off seemed as long as the trans-atlantic journey which lay ahead.

Initially with active and athletic german air-hostess air-walking up and down the aisle there was some action to watch out for ,but with no sign of the big monster moving even after half-hour it become a bit irritating.

Then the speaker came to life and the suave captain broke the monotny.Trying this best to put his most polite and aplogetic voice he anounced

"This is one of those days when one of our engines failed to fire up....."

Thank god we discovered this on ground.

After an hour later we were airbone ....

Tale of two heroes and one great city San Francisco

Some memorable dialogue from the latest Will Smith starer inspirational movie "The pursuit of happyness"

"If u have a dream you got to protect IT!"

"Don't let anybody tell u, that u can't do it, it's just that they can't do it"

Will Smith is one great actor and delivers a performance of his life

This movie set in San Francisco and Bay area struck deep chord with me as i hav wandered a lot in this geography recently and could really see the setting raw and fresh...

By design i saw the movie at Metroen ,San Francisco ... this hep multiplex is just across the block to Moscone center where another great personality Steve Jobs ,CEO of Apple just delivered another mesmerizing keynote address at Macworld Expo

Tale of two heroes and one great city San Francisco...

My experiments with cooking

Necessity is the mother of all inventions!

Well said by some XYZ, I must twist it a bit and say

"Hunger is mother of all the _activity_",

Sick and bored of eating boxed airlines food N oven heated frozen food, i FINally overcome my lethargy and decided to take control of my gastronomic destiny and divied deep into cooking

So guessed what i cooked?

"Aloo Gobi Masala" the quintessential indian curry

And i ATE IT TOO!!!!

I must admit that this excercise was not one-man feat of courage and excellence...

I had over the phone advise delivered by my buddies Girish and Venkat abt the essential nitty-gritty of cooking the sabzi in-realtime

G & V cook really goood.... and they both are MARRIED ( i hope this is just a coincidence)

~Bon appétit
