Food for thought
Heres a 'easy' guide to dosa preperation:
Step 1: get the batter from the shop/ask someone to prepare it( in my case, my sis did it )
Step 2 : choosing the 'tava ' ..now this is crucial because it has a high impact on the geometry of dosa.There were couple of tavas at my place :
1. simple plain one.
2. one with lots of small cup like indentation all over it ..similar to the texture of baseball surface
My choice : 1
Reason : Tava 1 was already neatly washed and while tava 2 needed some thorough cleaning with pril solution :D
Step 3:put the tava on a heat source and invoke the 'agni' on it ...roam around till it becomes red hot..this might take a couple of min.
Step 4 :keep bugging(tale tinnodu) someone for instructions continuously so that the poor soul will prepare it for u.
Enjoy the dosa .
Hard work always pays off !! :P
Moralof the story : There is nothing complicated in this world.All u need to do is apply your mind.

BUSMISS!!!!...not anymore
One of the core values we practice here in Wipro is timeliness of deliverables. For this to happen we have to be delivered at Wipro’s doorstep on time .Hence our wip driver is very strict about time.
There are a lot of times when I have ended up chasing the bus in auto. Once I ended up chasing the wrong bus (it was an infy bus). This was not my fault tho’ as the regular bus had been camouflaged!!!.(yep they do it in wip just to keep the employees on their toes)
That day as usual I was to catch the bus and mind u it was damn late. But maama (mom) delayed me for a moment more and I was very upset about it.. I never realized that she had got her arm burnt trying to speed up things. On top of that it never occurred to me that I have to express my gratitude to make her feel happy.
Of late ,I realized that there are few simple things we ignore or take for granted like thanking whole heartedly,saying sorry,appreciating one's effort and so on . Its very imp that we stop for a moment and express the love,appreciation and care we have for our dear ones verbally as well as in action. Believe me this is the best way to comfort them.
Now the million dollar question…vat should I do if maama again delays and I end up chasing the infy bus once again…..he he he

Truth behind the anti vibrating device
My first post: Here it goes ...hold tight ;-)
The great train journey: Reality series ..as it happened
Got up fom my deep slumber to a ‘chai_kaapi_pani bottle’ call from the train guy..Shiish vat a shrill voice …(me cursed the fellow badly in local lingo)
Came down from my berth ..brushed my teeth properly ..was sparkling white ..i told to myself ‘channagi ujjidiya hordu saaku’..now I was back in my seat
Then
Appa: tea kudiyo
Myself: Beda
Appa:Kudiyo chennagide
Cousin:Kudiyo parvaagilla
Myself:Beda beda beda
Cousin & Appa(in one voice) :KUDITIYO ILVO
Myself(apprehensively): Nanna kashta nimage artha aagalla…plz bittubidi
Cousin & appa: Nammele Aane
Myself: Devre kaapadbeku nanna
I gulped the tea in one go…Some strange noise in my tummy ….
Someone crying from inside me (that was actually my groaning tummy) ..sriki ..man RunNNNNN…
Then the divine experience …that too in a train made in medival times ..OMG did someone forgot to put the anti-vibrating device or vat …Shiiiishh!!!
Me all tired ..came out(after 40 min) …Silently moved to my seat..
Appa and cousin (giggling)....enaytu??
Myself-speechless( face fully red n anger)
Myself-Ondu balehannu idiya
Appa and Cousin- burst into laughter
Myself-OMG…why ME??!!!
