in search of...

Suddenly, I woke up from my sleep
No, it was not the howling of wind,
Nor hooting of owls, or a strange step in the attic
But I woke up, and realized -
of all the things I lost,
I miss my mind most

She was pure and white,
Not the pale white of death, but the white of a flame
But that was then, and time changed
Lust and pangs of desire
The aberrations of pure and unadulterated

Somewhere along the path, I kept her safe
And she kept her word
- She kept her safe from me, my lust

When I went looking for her
I saw a heap of ashes with some dying embers
And she was already free
Left the cage long time back
And what left of her,
was strange to me.

( inspierd from the quote "Of all the things Ive lost, I miss my mind the most" by Mark Twain )

Another Weekend

This weekend was a mixed bag of beans - time with friends, food, ride, trekking and a movie.

Saturday our MCA classmate Jomi came to Bangalore, so we five - me, jubi, jack, Phijo and jomi met at jacks place and spend the whole day lazing around.

By 7, i went to attend the weekly meet of Silver Bullets at Javacity.

Sunday early morning we seven guys went for a ride to Pearl valley - it was more of a trek than a ride. It is a small waterfall, but, it is really a crime to call it a waterfall.

But the place offers some good trek trail, and we explored some 3 hills around the area - a trek of around 6 km.

Sunday evening I watched the movie Bhool Bhulayya. It’s a good movie, if you haven’t watched the original Malayalam movie - Manichitratzau. If you have seen that, then this don’t exactly measure up.

Method of Preparation:

Wash and put aside the fish to dry.

Heat oil in a pan and cook tomatoes till it become a thick paste. Add a little (about 30 ml) water. Add salt to taste. Add a pinch of powered black pepper.

When the tomato sauce starts boiling, put the fried fish pieces, and simmer it till the fish pieces absorbs tomato sauce. Take the fish pieces out and keep aside.

Add the finely chopped dill leaves and onion to the tomato sauce and cook for about one minute. Pour this hot sauce on top of the fish kept aside.
