Turn Around

There is no best Turn Around time than NOW!!!
How many times have we postponed calling and speaking to someone special, smiling, being pleasant, ... lots of stuff.
How I wish I could do lots of stuff now. By regretting and looking back we waste our lives wishing for something we cant undo. We fall into an ugly loop of torture and spoiling our lives in the process.

So, the tunr around time starts right now. Making the lives of loved ones a treasure. Cherishing my memories and in short living life as if it were my last day!!!

Life is a sequence of memories. Postponing just pushes those lovely memories out of our lives.
Now is the time to start working for those lovely memories... smiling, helping the needy, meditating, cleaning and more important on Living Today right Now!

Friends for laughs

A while ago Id read an article how to maintain and nurture friends. Yeah .. like a marriage friendships too need to be nurtured.
But this got me thinking what kind of friends need nurturing. Are they worth the time and energy I take to nurture the relationship?

Most of us get carried away by the bling of some relationships. Some aspects like material wealth, personal looks weigh in where they should not have been. Of course as always 'we' are far wiser than we realize!!!! The signals are all there, but we chose to ignore them. Some signals Id noticed more often..... people don't bother to call you back.
Well.... these friends are what I call Friends for Laughs. They want you just for hanging around and having a great time.

Ironically and fortunately Ive friends who have stuck around with me through all those storms ... even after I didn't work on the relationship.
At some of those trying times, its those true ones who take the trouble of calling and speaking to you. Helping out with all the stuff without even asking. In short those friends I know I can call at midnight and rant or talk.

And yes, this is the reason why am writing a blog on friendship even after theres an older post.

Moral: With one life to live, Id better pick my friends wisely.

lol.
As for my 'Friends for Laughs' Ill have the last laugh.....
lol !!!!!

सम्बरिद्ली !!!

Sambar Idli ... thats the better or higher end version of the normal Idli Sambar.
Some enterprising person must ve hit on a brilliant idea of serving the idlis immersed in the sambar , and ofcourse at a higher price than the usual Idli Sambar.

Well.. thats my latest fad. I seem to have it almost on a daily basis so much so that the guys at the South Indian restaurant I frequent know it.
So after a savouring Sambar Idlis in Hyderabad.. :) my verdict.

The Best... Swathi Tiffins @Somajiguda.
Heavenly!! The Idlis so soft and tender , the sambar at just the right temperature and consistency.... and yes they are served very hot.
Well.. ofcourse there s no place where you can sit. You will have to have it standing. A must try when the weathers a bit chilly.

The Worst Ive had so far.. @Woodlands. They serve Button Idlis and dont even bother to ask about the ghee they add.

The other good places @Anand Vihar, Shanthi.
