for the last few days , i have been humming the famous sorgamey endralum song non stop. after years (10 or 15) i got down to actually see the video along with the song.

-- this song for some reason happens to be my 8am song especially if the annual india trip is somewhere around the corner. do you have 8am songs? i do. - (usually the first song that comes to my mind when i wake up ). over the years there have been even tv commercial songs, classical, slokas basically anything that comes to my mind right after i wake up. have to admit, but there was this paper wala guy in my street back in chennai, who used to call out for old newspapers and plastic items. He actually used to sing paper-plastic and the way he called out was a catchy tune that my sister & myself couldn't resist practicing.

-- In the video, gowthami and pandiarajan actually portray Singapore "alien" to them. Lol!. If there is one country that is as much indian as it can get, it has to be S'pore. Tamil is their official language so you can imagine. On a family vacation to S'pore few years back, a cab driver (non-desi) actually spoke in tamil to my dad asking him about naadi josiyam!.

-- I am looking for Ipod docking station with speakers. Do you own one? Any recommendations?

-- On a totally different note, cutting down on rice really does magic to our body. We have not had rice for the last 7 -8 meals and man, it sure does feel lighter and very flattering . It is seriously tough to give up completely but for starters, this works!.

-- I also need restaurant recommendations in chennai/bengaluru. It is going to be legen-wait for it-dary this time in chennaipattinam!.
