International Culinary Art

I tried the below varieties of culinary art in the recent past. I am not mentioning about the Indian food, which I love to great extent, other than that I tried below International  food tastes of course all of that I tried are veggies. Here is the order in which I prefer and few words about that country. Ethiopian : It is the only country in Africa which has alphabets. Its one of two countries in Africa, which is independent since long time. Earliest trace of human race is found here in the world. Injira is similar to Indian Dosa and it is Fantastic. I would love to eat this food again. Mexican: I liked Chipotle. Veggie rice bowl, taco, burrito are good. I can eat veggie rice bowl without getting bored. Italian: It doesn't need much introduction. I like Pasta,  Lasagna. Pasta prepared with  marinara sauce is my favorite in Italian dish. I like the American food chains like Pizza hut, Burger king, Sub way etc.,  Pakistani : I like the Bhaigan Bharta to a great e

India as a Soft Power

I watched Shashi Tharoor speech on India as a Soft Power, I liked it and here are some things which caught my attention. Elephent (India) and Tiger(China) are becoming next world power. We have worlds 4th largest Army. We will overtake china by 2034 in Population, becoming worlds number 1 in population. We have 5th largest economy in the world. We are growing constantly at 6.7%, when worlds largest economies are shrinking. Somehow this is not adding up to the soft power. Hollywood, Pepsi, Coke, McDonald's helped America become a soft power.

We are larger than US in terms of Telecommunications. Once in India there was 8 years long wait time to get telephone connection. Now we are selling 15 million cell phones a year. Bollywood is slowly crawling to world cinema. "Kyon ki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi" is dubbed into

Why Not ME !!!

If Obama can send troops to Afghan for war and receive a peace prize. If KCR can do so called Fasting to death and get a state All Developed nations can escape from rigorous climate control rules Liberhan commission on Babri demolition can give his final report nearly after a decade. Why the hell I can't  get what I wanted :-) Looks like the year is closing with many surprises.  This is a funny and short story !!! Take it as a story only don't take it to heart or your dirty mind. One suggestion If you ever want to take something to heart, try taking it to your hand before :-)  let it be short and sweet story !!!

Separate State

I don't have any articles in the recent past. Well actually I am little busy in petty things like cooking and eating :-) Lets see what stuck my mind today. Its about separate state agitation in Southern part of India. Some people want separate state Telangana from  Andhra Pradesh --> India --> Asia, that is the farthest I can identify it globally. Some how I strongly believe the recent political turmoil in Andhra has to do with EX CM. Once the strong CM (he was good or bad) passed away, things are getting destabilized in Andhra. I personally believe, dividing country into smallest possible pieces will not get progress. We are still fighting with neighbor states to resolve Water Resources. One thing I can clearly understand from this issue is, its very easy to raise the sentiments of people. A politician can bring emotions out of people by quoting religion or region or language or caste etc., But unfortunately there is only one way to unite people i.e the intention to st
