“Cute profile picture” he said. “I know, that’s why I put it” was her reply. “Arrogant much?” He thought to himself. “Ha-ha I like your spirit” was all he replied. She forgot about him until she got a friend request from him two weeks later. Sure they had interacted before. But that was in a Facebook community group. She accepted his request anyway and thus began one of those friendships we all are familiar with. Or so we thought.

They never stop…
Scene 1: 3 years back, in the first few weeks of my life in frozen land:
me: I never get any mail !!
hubby: what !! whenever I see you, you are always replying to emails, chats, scraps !!
me: not emails !! I meant paper mail, letters, parcels. The outside world doesnt know I exist in this address.
hubby: ask your parents, cousins, aunts & uncles to send you letters instead of emails.
Weather Woes
Sipping tea, I am wrestling between the thoughts of taking a nap or to finish grading the quizzes.
Well, I cant help it.
Why? Blame the weather !!
No to Plagiarism !!!!
Highheelconfidential has been one of my favorite sites these days…
full timepass for me when I come home after cracking my head open about almost everything at school !!
Payal & Priyanka have put soo much effort into this website and now this….
Grrrrrr… already wrote an email to this Zing thingy… apparently its owned by Zee !!
Boooooooooo…
Status quo: dazed
Two girls stuck in a storm drain (with cell phone in hand) decide to update their status on Facebook rather than calling the cops or parents or friends for help !!!!!!!???????
Words fail me… So instead *thud* *thud* *thud* (hitting my head with my cellphone)….
PS:
If you are feeling sorry for my cellphone and not my head, then its the 44th sign that you are obsessed with your cellphone …
Very Cute !!!

Fridays are kind of relaxing for me. Most fridays, we either go out for dinner or my hubby cooks!!! Its what I call a perfect way to ease into the weekend mood…
This friday was no exception, hubby dear offered to cook and how can I refuse??? me being so sweet do I ever say no to anyone??? (I can see the tomatoes & eggs coming my way…)
My first review of a product
Me-“we will stop eating rice and start eating chapathis for dinner daily”
Him-“no”
Me- “there was no question mark in my sentence”
Him-“you are going to make the chapathis”
Me-“you are not going to help?”
Him- “there was no question mark in my sentence”
Me- Grrrrrrrrrrrr…..(scratching)…Grrrrrrrrr Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Well I thought I can buy one of those tortilla/roti/chapathi makers and making chapathis will be as easy as…
as…mmm…
as easy as…mmm…let’s just say, as easy as scratching…
So I got this…and if anyone out there are in the thinking process of getting one read what I have to say and then decide if you want to get one…
So here is my review:
- 3 settings-low, medium,high. 4th setting-OFF
- it has to be on high, to make chapathis, otherwise hittu(dough) will just stick and sit there forever without rising
- 1st day I used that, they came out like tortillas. I shouldn’t have been surprised, it says tortilla maker!!!
- It says in manual the quality will improve as days go by and even some of the reviews said that. That’s why I ordered it.
- after 2-3 times of using it, they started coming out well.
- the pressing is so easy, no strain at all…
- but even at that high setting, I guess the heat is ~ equivalent to low setting on electric stove burner and hence it takes somewhat more time to cook each side or I felt it that way because you see nange patience kammi(=less)…
- I thought a few drops of oil has to be added, otherwise the chapathis will be like you know rotis or tortillas…
- I had read in review that the inside doesnt cook properly…well I found out its true for some of the chapathis, the insides were still kachka pachka…
- so I thought I will try pressing hittu in this and cook the chapathi on stove-top…guess what?
- that thing has to be ON and plates heated, otherwise the hittu just sticks there…
- So I thought, maybe I can set it at low-setting, so that it doesnt consume much electricity, since I am using the electric burner too, but at low setting the heat is not enough, so even if the hittu flattens out, its difficult to separate it from that plate…
- Which REMINDS me of MSK(Marimallappa PU chemistry teacher)…I used to attend his 6.30 am batch tuition and that fellow used to put fans so early in the morning…brrrrrrr…the switch for those two cealing fans were near the back benches where boys used to sit and as time went by, they would cm-by-cm slowly turn the knob so that that thing would still be rotating but no gaali(air) coming, hoping that MSK woudnt notice it!!! but we are talking abt MSK here, so he would shout at them “MAKLA THIRUSRO KNOB NAAAA, AAKADE CURRENT KARCHAAGBEKU EEKADE GAALI NU BARBAARDU HANGE MAADTHIRA NANGE ” and they would whimper back “current bill save maadi next batch tuition feees li adjust maadkoli saaaaar, namna bittu bidi, manege hogbekaadre daarili ondu stop maadlebeku number-one ge, ashtu chali maadthira illi”
- coming back: Hubby was saying the hittu probably had too much water thats why its sticking…hav to try making very gatti hittu(dough with less water)…
- Inbetween I had the Idea of returning this and just getting one of those tortilla press…but I could only find those metal ones and I know it needs some pressure to be put and after sometime hands start aching…havent used the ones here(but have used those metal sandige press in India which looks similar)…
- so this is what I am doing from past 2 days: set that thing to medium/high heat…press it on that and cook it on stove top…and this process is working for me and I am finding the chapathi making process effortless!!!! and chapathis coming out good!!!
- now some of the reviews said that after 10 months the heating stops working!!! hope that doesnt happen to me…
Will update this after a few months…
Also check out this review on Amazon.com and the comments!!!!
and then back to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…scratch………….SRK singing ye ladki hai alla…hai haire alla……..wake-up, no SRK, sob…..adjust pillow…zzzzzzzzz…SRK holding my hand again –“It’s alright Senorita, Bade Bade Deshon Mein, Aisi Choti Choti Baatein Hoti Rahti Hain.”….zzzz:)zzzz:)zzzzz:)zzzzz:)zzzz
Update: I changed the atta/chapathi flour brand and the chapathis are coming out really good now…
