hamari mithaiyo ko bachao....

versus

Rasgulla ,Gulabjamun, kajukatli…… Indian sweets are mouthwatering but now slowly chocolates are substituting .Mithai is sweet milk dessert from India. Mithai is traditionally used to be exchanged on festive occations,but now a days chocolates have replaced mithai. In India the main region for it is adulteration in making mithai, as milk and other products are limited so some people have started adulteration and thus customer have switched over to chocolate .

The chocolate industry is an organized industry with lots of multinationals also working and they have a dedicated budget for advertisement and lobbying is also there .now a days even savories like kurkure and bhujias have festive packs .everyone knows that they are not traditionally exchanged on festive occasion but then too lot of people opt for them. 

The dairy federations should stand with sweet industry and should take initiative to save Indian sweet bazaar by making standards and can standardize the sweets also by keeping check. These government dairy federations can brand these sweets even make tempting advertisements  and come out with ideas to promote sweets and can vigilantly keep track on adulteration also.

my memories of Ihm Chennai hostel days ....

It was the summer of 1999 when I stepped at the Chennai central accompanied with my father and girju data .we checked in a hotel near the railway station .next morning after we were done with the formalities we went to tirupati balaji for darshans .it was a great experience .
Next morning my father and girju data left me with my luggage at ihmct&an boy hostel’s room no 18 and left for Udaipur.

I came to know that I have to live with my roommate Narayan Tharoor from Pallacad .As soon as we setteled we were asked to come to the mess where briefing was conducted by some seniors who told us about the Personality Development Program (PDP)  which will follow from now .full sleeves shirt slippers in wrong legs and the upper most button to be tied every time at  hostel premises .and very important thing the five friends to be kept in the paint pocket every time and nothing in shirt pocket.
Some other interesting things I remember now after 10 years are the hostel song ,learning the names with room nos of all hostalites .the bad days ended before  dusshera breaks  ,the day the Hindu god ram got victory over ravana the demon king .we had a freshers party with our own money and still enjoyed the freedom.
Kanagam was the place where we hostallites use to go for party after mid night ‘garnish ‘on a birthday and use to have tea ,coffee,ragi,biscuits and of course smoke.annexxe was the other place outside the campus where we use to get smoke and vada’s in collage time .Rotas at mess and the fried chicken on Sundays and Wednesday at mess are a few things I miss a lot .

Pushkar who joined us as the third roommate was an adventurous boy and we both used to explore Chennai we went to movies followed with dinner almost everyday after classes .I remember one insident when I returned from home after breaks the wine shopkeeper called us and asked ‘anna long time no see’.
The teachers I can recall are Chef Sabapati ,Chef Roberts  Chef Parimala ,
 Chef abhraam in second year once scolded me as I was standing outside the class with my shoe on the wall he told me that I am making the wall dirty even today whenever I remember the chef and the insident. Mr. Dadhwal with his French and Mr. Gitesh with his French classical menu ,even Mr. Thambu with his communication skills  are few teachers I still remember.

Khambha,sutta king nirjhar,machli,Nunnu were some nicknames saju dushyant ankur, rahul dev swami  goseph george ,ABD,dutta chitlaa above all Drigesh and many  I still remember .everyone was friend, mess nights were great but incomplete without booze and music. The ODC’s which fetched us some cash to enjoy ,girls from girls hostel neha ,babita,Dipti and pratima were few I could still remember .many of my friends are abroad also .Hope everyone else are well off in life .

About An Ant.

An ant is the most inspirational insect on this earth for humans but we know very less about an ant so I am sharing some lesser known facts about ants .

Ants are said to be the only living being colonized  at every part of the globe except Antarctica. Ants are social insects of the family formicidae .Ants evolved from wasp like ancestors 110 to 130 million years ago.
An ants success in so many environment has been attributed to their social organization and their ability to modify habitats, tap resources ,and defend .

Humans cant ignore this insect in any way as they have learned lessons of organization ,hard work, zeal ,and not giving up in any situation .ants also play a big role in today’s management study .
An ant have largest brain in proportion to its size they are the smartest species of insects with about 250000 brain cells. The total biomass of all the ants on earth is roughly equal to the total biomass of all the people on earth. An ant is able to lift about 20 times of its own body weight.
The caste system is also the system introduced by the ants as they lived in colonies and they had divided themselves into different caders for example queen ant ,male ants ,worker ants and soldier ants …
So friends next time when you see an ant don’t just walk away try to learn from this tiny insect .

aaj sunday hai ...

Necessarity is the mother of inventions .Many a times small needs can invent or reform things .People modify things to there convenience ,even words can be modified and used .Right now I am coating an excellent example of how my friends did so.

Weather in English dictionary means the state of atmosphere. Weather word for a cricket bookie is unfortunate as for them it means, the rainy atmosphere or when rain interrupt the game they call weather had came and interrupted the match. In such case the game is cancelled and the bookie suffers.

Whereas for me and my friends weather means time to enjoy because we friends have termed booze party as’ weather’ ,the trend started because one of our friend was into cricket betting and use to say every now and then that today weather came into the match and interrupted .we friends picked up the term whether and started using it for alcoholic parties so now if any of us have to celebrate we call friends and inform that weather is organized  ,some of the common phrases are
Aaj weather ka mood hai ...yaar.
Weather kar ke aa raha ho !
Daijee weather karoge kya….

So aaj Sunday hai aaj weather day hai…
And so on….
