Life goes on...

Yes, life's goin' on... Went to Palakkad one day to get my Transfer, Course and Conduct Certificates back. So that was a break from the monotony of home, and a chance to meet up with everyone at hostel. In between, saw some movies which I'll review in short and some matches of football (which the coming blogs will be about). By the way, joined T.I.M.E here in Kannur for mockCATs, so will hopefully spend time for that (blogging will surely help out in my verbals too!)... Rains are coming back to Kannur, though not so heavy.

Mom's cooked some wonderful, spicy biryani after a long time... bit dry, but spicy (which is what i prefer) - brought me back to the days of old in Abu Dhabi, when mom used to cook biryani on weekends and it would last for 3-4 days! Usually, we buy biryani from outside over here, which varies in taste and has a lot of oil mostly... certain restaurants dry-fry the chicken which is what i prefer (though thats not the norm in biryani)... but usually its less spicy in most places i've eaten out at.... Biryani is what i normally order whenever i'm at a new restaurant - will be of an expected quantity, taste and price. Back in Palakkad, biryani at most places is devoid of much hotness and spice - 'dilute', although some places offering 'hyderabadi dum' and other varieties are tasty. But at home, mom never tones down on the amount of spices - and experiments every time she cooks, which makes it all the more tasty and unique! Biryanis at weddings too (where they hire ppl to cook at home instead of hiring caterers) are outstanding... though i've forgotten the last time i've had one like that. So thats enough for biryani!

I've got to check up on some of our mechanical engg. subjects coz of an exam on the 6th of Sept... hopefully will start today (which is what i've been saying for quite somedays :P ) Gotta go now for dinner, which is... biryani from afternoon, and the spices must've adsorbed more onto the rice making it all the more tasty! I smell it now, mmmm...
